Cosmo in Sheffield

Food is pretty good, no real complainants and there are so many options. My family and I come here a lot. The service is usually good, but sometimes it is too busy, and the staff struggle to clear your empty plates. The atmosphere is ok but again, it is very busy. The new refurbishment is a good one, but putting the drinks refill counter right next to the payment counter was a stupid design idea as that area gets too crowded.

I keep coming back here a couple times a month to meet up with my mum but keep forgetting to leave a review, I'm a sushi and spicy food lover myself but there are also great options for kids food. Today I just stuck with sushi and char sui pork but In the past I've enjoyed grilled squid, Indian curries, dim sung and Chinese pancakes. As a cocktail lover I have had an espresso Martini in the past and today a Tequila sunrise, they're very affordable compared to other cocktails in the area and while better tasting cocktails are found nearby it's not comparable when it comes to price My drink today was arround £6 while I've had far worse cocktails elsewhere in the city for the same price the better cocktails I've had tend to cost closer to £10 Unfortunatly I havnt taken note of staff names in previous visits but today I had receipts so would like to give credit to Elizabeth who seated us. She remembered us from previous visits and was very welcoming, simmilarly Kang who made my drink was also very friendly and remembered us. Generally though a thanks to all the staff is deserved so thank you all

Love Cosmo. The Chinese pork is lovely.

I can't recommend this place enough! Ahlam was our server and she was just fantastic—so attentive and polite, making sure we were always okay. The Eton Mess was a standout; the flavours were just brilliant! Everything was spot on from the cleanliness to the atmosphere. Seriously, Ahlam deserves a pay rise for her awesome service!

Went with my 8 year old for the first time. He loved being able to get up and help himself. The ice cream was a winner of course. I've uploaded a couple of my plates but there was of course a lot more variation. Nice and tasty and good value for the money.

Cold food, not much variation. Toilets stink. Drinking glasses dirty. Quite expensive.

Excellent value . Great selection of really good quality food .

Just had a fab meal here! The food was top-notch, especially the stir-fried noodles and chicken wings – everything was presented beautifully and tasted amazing. The vibe was great, and the service was on point. I’d love to see some African and Caribbean dishes added to the menu, but honestly, can’t fault my visit. Keep up the great work!

Lovely food friendly atmosphere

Good place lots of choice nice staff clean place

Nice food, lots of choice and no restrictions, tried so many different things, Indian, chinese, and some English. Nice sweets too with lots of choice and little bites of each so you can have a few. Really enjoyed it here.

Family and friends went and it was outstanding all round. Fantastic food and service A+++++++++++++++

Great variety of food. Good taste. Good value for money

Not a big fan of all you can eat buffets however this place far exceeded my expectations. Huge range of food, all hot, fresh and tasty. The tappanyaki is phenomenal. Fresh fish cooked in front of you to perfection. The sushi is fresh and tasty too. I’m not such a fan of soup but the hot and spicy soup was great. Puddings on this visit were mainly cheesecake which were ok. There was also apple crumble and custard which was lovely but didn’t quite seem to fit with Asian cuisine. All in all first class and I’ll definitely go back next time I’m in Sheffield 👍

Este lugar me fue sugerido, pero me decepcionó. Esto nunca fue como lo describieron mis amigos. La comida estaba seca, demasiado cocinada y no hay muchas opciones. La calidad de la carne era mala y no estoy seguro de cuán frescos son los productos. Nos alojamos allí durante un máximo de 20 minutos, tiempo suficiente para que mi novia se contagiara de un dolor de estómago.

The place was filled with nice food and plenty of choices to choose from. A wonderful experience overall!" I recommend to everyone 100%

Been coming here a few years now has it's up and downs but today we came and my opinion it's gone down hill the food wasn't very nice the meat in the curry was hard and dry the deserts have also gone down hill I used to love this place but I don't think I'll be returning any time soon most food trays was empty not refilled fast enough even tho it wasn't very busy the table service to remove plates was very slow also the staff are rude just walk Infront of you while Ur trying to pass with food the syrup in the drinks machine had gone so was limited to certain drinks which we didn't really want hope it improves as this was a favourite of the family especially when it's costing really £100 for 2 adults 3 children not as cheap as it was once was

Nearly £23 a head and nearly everything we tried was either dry, overcooked or fatty cuts of meat. Anything that wasn’t was just bland.Not one to complain but on this occasion did so. Have been previously ( say a couple of years back) and enjoyed the experience then. We were made to pay upfront as we didn’t prebook . Manager wasn’t happy with the complaint as it had taken us an hour to do so (this at a buffet where we were persisting in finding something we enjoyed-to no avail). Said that they’d been open for a few hours and we were the first to complain- like I was supposed to say ,’No, you’re right, I’m making it up’. The ice machine also dropped out something which looked suspiciously like it could have been alive at some point. All in all, felt like a waste of money and we both left hungry and very disappointed. Will not return.

wide variety of cuisines. Typically, the restaurant offers a sprawling buffet featuring dishes from Chinese, Indian, Italian, and Japanese cuisines, among others.

This place is a 5/5 for me. We come aa a family everytime we visit my daughter at university. With one fussy kid this is a dream. There's something for everyone. Foods great quality, place looks fab and the atmosphere is great. I wish I had known about this place sooner!

Value for money, good atmosphere, good services , Will visit again

First time there. Wonderful place. All the food you can eat with great service. I'm definitely going back. 1 free meal if it's your birthday! Highlights for us were, and I quote, 'everything, the food the fish' 'Variety' 'Sea food and seaweed' 'The prompt service' Completely forgot to take any photos coz the experience was so good. Here is one from the nearby Winter Gardens.

Arrived at approximately 1300 on a Thursday. Rather empty as expected. The food quality is rather poor. Not many buffets left and I can see why. If you want a place to take the kids then fine. But if you're a foodie, it's not the place to go.

All great but the watery 'chocolate' fountain resembling more of a latte than chocolate could be improved - just placing pure (sugar-free) Coco powder by the ice-cream machine would be a better and healthier option.

I recently visited and had a great time overall! The Hong Kong Noodles were delicious and easily my favourite dish, while the Aromatic Duck Starter hit the spot as well. Service was top-notch, but I did feel like I missed out on ordering extra drinks during the meal. One downside was the second glass of lemonade—didn't taste great and left me a bit queasy. Still, I’d definitely recommend this place!

The food was great- great selection and lovely quality and the waiters were brilliant at clearing dirty plates, getting drinks etc. The 3 star review overall is for the state of the toilets! We were in at 12:30pm when the restaurant opened. They clearly hadn’t been cleaned since yesterday- they were dirty, no toilet paper etc. Went back at the end of the meal and genuinely, there wasn’t one toilet that was useable for my toddler- they were ALL blocked, seats smeared 🤢 and clearly hadn’t been checked once in the 90 mins we were there. Very poor considering the rest of the experience is top quality. There are also only 4 cubicles in the ladies for a restaurant that size. Mentioned to a member of staff the state of the toilets and they said they’d go up and clean them straightaway- she didn’t go up- we had to leave to find a toilet elsewhere in Sheffield- genuinely unuseable.

It was so good the food was perfect and the cakes were delicious. You can even imagine👏👏😍👌

I just had my first visit and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was to die for—everything from the corn cob to the chocolate fountain was delicious. The service was spot on, and the whole place was spotless with a great atmosphere. Honestly, I can't think of anything to improve; it was perfect! This is definitely my go-to spot from now on.

Great selection of food Clean and tidy with attentive staff

We went on weekend and it was quite busy. We loved varieties of food there and they were freshly made.

Is there an option for zero star????? I walked into the restaurant by 8pm and the first thing the waiter told me is that they close by 10pm…. No what would you like to eat? No how can I help you….? I might have forgiven the rude service….. but the service in Belfast branch wasn’t great either so I guess it’s a cosmos thing

Lovely place to with loves ones

We went out to celebrate our friends birthday and we all like different foods…so Cosmos was the idea venue. The food was hot and tasty and good flavours. When we went to pay our friend was told her meal was free because it was her birthday…which was great…so we will definitely be celebrating more birthdays here in future…!!

I loved dining here with my family to celebrate Mother's Day. There was a wonderful selection of meals, ranging from English to Asian cuisine. Since it was lunchtime, we had to wait about 15 minutes before being seated. The staff was very considerate and provided us with a spacious table, which was perfect for accommodating my little one. I loved the ice cream machine especially.

Good all you can eat buffet. Offers a selection of foods including Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Italian and other types. Prices vary over weekday and weekends, for adults, children and under fives. Very friendly staff and good service.

A family-friendly environment with very polite and courteous staff. You might get a free birthday meal if the outing is to celebrate a birthday.

Went to Cosmo for lunch, great food and great value for money. Highly recommend that you book in advance as it is very popular. Will definitely visit again.

All of the foods were very very tasty.

Overall great experience but was very lacking in vegetarian options not even a Chinese curry sauce to add to rice. Otherwise everyone enjoyed it and we're all full

Indeed it is,all you can eat. Lots of good food, great variety Polite staff, helpful

Love to goto this place for the evening buffet, only time I can get the live cooking station for my squid 🐙 and prawns, 100% well worth the price tag, plenty of seating but always best to pre-book a couple of days before to make sure you don't be disappointed. Plenty of variety to choose from, and same with deserts.

Had a wonderful time.enjoyed the food.keep up the good work will definitely be back again.

Although food was fantastic. We were here for our granddaughters birthday booked in for 5 but didn’t actually get seated until 5.15 you get 1 hour 45mins. staff asked us to leave at 18.30 and started clear our drinks away. Was absolutely disgusted meant we actually only got 1 hour 15. Thanks for spoiling a birthday celebration 😡

The best buffet service around, and at a great price too, located at the very heart of the city.

Everything else was great, but it was missing the main factor. Food. The food was absolutely shocking, a good variety but everything tasted like it was taken out of a garbage bag. Honestly awful and I almost threw up. Thing is I grabbed most things and got a few plates to try it all but most of the time the food tasted like dog poo. Would not recommend. Service and atmosphere were nice though on the plus side. Just never gonna be worth the almost 20 quid per person man

Food is average, not too bland or too sweet, tasteless

Managed to get in just prior to closing. Staff advised that we stocked up as they were starting to clear away. Still, we found the food most enjoyable. Great finish to a great night

Had an absolute belter of a meal! Every dish I tried was spot on, from the Lamb with Cumin to the Mussels with Sichuan Sauce—can’t fault the taste or quality. The place was clean and had a great atmosphere, plus the service was top-notch. I'm definitely coming back for more, and I’d love to see some asian food on the menu! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great dining experience!

Had a brilliant dining experience! The atmosphere was really pleasant, and the food was absolutely delicious—highlights definitely include the BBQ Pork and the Profiteroles which were top-notch. The service was excellent; they seemed to genuinely care about making my visit enjoyable. Everything was spotlessly clean too. Can’t wait to come back for another meal!

Good Food, Nice Ambience, Customer Friendly Staff, Nice and clean place.

Don’t even deserve 1 star. £17.99 per person and the food was horrible. Super busy, kids running around screaming, and to top it off me and my partner both ended up with food poisoning which resulted in time off work. In total we’re out of pocket hundreds because this place can’t even do the one thing a restaurant has to do right.

I had an amazing experience recently! The food was off the charts, especially the beef with black bean sauce and mussels in Sichuan sauce – so tasty! Everything from the drinks to the service was spot on, making for a fantastic atmosphere. Plus, the place was immaculate, and I really felt it was great value for money. I can't wait to come back for another delicious meal!

I didn't actually eat here we were at Pizza Express. Looked alright tho walking past.

Was excellent will go again good value for money. Lovely food so much to choose from.

Great lovely foods and helpful staff. Going there twice a month and never stop. Really recommend 👌😎

Foods just cheap blank tasting food no flavour no spices not worth the 22 pounds and 4 pounds for a drink is expensive

I had a brilliant meal recently! The food was absolutely amazing, especially the fried mushrooms and the passion fruit coconut dessert—wow, the taste really stuck with me! The atmosphere was super clean and pleasant, and the team were just lovely—friendly and helpful. Can't wait to come back again and again! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for great value and delicious dishes!

We booked a table for 9.15pm on a Saturday, not too busy, and after half an hour then the restaurant emptied quite a bit, so it was not too noisy. A lovely restaurant, that offers something for everyone. I only knocked stars off as the salad bar was practically empty at 9.15 and was not topped up. I also found that some dishes were slow to be filled up or they weren't filled up at all. This won't put me off going back though.

If you like Buffet eating then this is right up your street. There are lots of tasty dishes on offer. As with any buffet fast food cooked in bulk doesn't sit long before the freshness dries up and with constant opened and closing of the covers over the food the drying process and cooling is even quicker. I found most of the dishes were cold by the time I'd queued and got back to my table. Service was semi-efficient Coke machine issues were slow to be noticed and resolved Cutlery was out of stock on several visits Very noisy Not much room for maneuvering between our table to the food queues, everyone trying to move at the same time added to the loss of temperature of the food. I won't return, it's not my thing. The Ice Cream Cone was the highlight tbh

We enjoyed everything about our visit to Cosmo. The dishes were beautifully presented, the atmosphere was lively yet relaxing and the service was good. I got an offer for my birthday.

Great selection of all different types of food, would highly recommend the Chinese section, the dessert section with fresh fruit and cakes is pretty good too

Solíamos ir aquí a menudo cuando abrió por primera vez, y £ 14. 99 por persona para una cena era un precio razonable a pagar por cientos de platos calientes diferentes que se sirve en platos calientes. La próxima vez que fuimos fue después del Covid, y el precio había saltado a 22 libras. 99 por la misma cena. El número de comidas se había reducido y los platos estaban fríos. Me di cuenta de que algunos clientes estaban dejando las tapas de los platos abiertos, pero aun así, la comida era muy caliente, no caliente. Cuando elegiste tus platos y volviste a tu mesa (que ha aumentado mucho en número y por lo que casi estás sentado al lado de tu vecino) , los platos ya habían comenzado a enfriarse. Un año después, fuimos anoche, solo para ver si nuestra experiencia era única. Y me temo que nada había cambiado, comida caliente para servir en plato frío. Hay muchos lugares que sirven un servicio buffet, en placas calientes, y a un precio más razonable. Basta decir que no volveremos

Fui a un buffet nocturno. Lugar lleno rápidamente a las 5 pm. El servicio estaba bien. La calidad de la comida es solo promedio. La selección india parecía ser todo base de tomate excepto el cordero Rogan josh, que probé, pero el cordero era un poco duro. Los platos chinos eran sosos, solo los mejillones tenían buen sabor. Los desiertos estaban bien, excepto la fuente de chocolate que era acuosa. En general, la calidad de los platos era de solo mediocre, y no se apresuraría a volver, otros buffets que hemos comido en Newcastle y Cardiff, son de mucha más calidad por el mismo precio

Me encantó! Servicio brillante todo el personal super amable. Todo bien sabroso y fresco. Buenas opciones y amplias opciones. ¡Volveremos!

The worst food l have eaten in a while. It's absolutely one of the worst experiences l have had in a restaurant. The food, is tasteless, poorly cooked and presented. The deserts are dry and bland. The drinks tasted as if they were watered down. The meal for 3 adults with one drink was £93.

Just had an incredible first visit! The food was spot on—everything from the BBQ pork to the chocolate brownies was delicious and well presented. The staff were friendly and the prices are a steal for the quality. I honestly can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. Highly recommend checking it out!

Just had a top-notch meal that I can't stop raving about! The food was absolutely on point, from the mussels in Sichuan sauce to the chocolate fudge cake—everything was a winner. The drinks were fantastic too, and the atmosphere made it perfect for catching up with friends. Service was brilliant, and the whole place felt spotlessly clean. Honestly, I’m counting down the days until my next visit!

Well, it's 3 years since our last visit, and we won't be going again. The food was ok but nothing to rave about last time , this time, it was crap with very few vegitarian options. Most of the food was luke warm and not replenished. Plates had chips out of them. When asked if everything was Ok and I said actually no its not the staff member just walked off. Again, I was asked if all was ok when paying the bill. When I said no to the staff member, she just ignored me. Didn't use the Toilets so can't say if they are still a mess or not , kids still unsurprised by parents , running around where people are carrying hot plates and food. Over priced , crap quality , will not go again.

I recently visited and had a fantastic time! The food and drinks were spot on, especially the Stir Fried Noodles and Char Siu—everything tasted amazing and was a great value for money. The place was clean, and the atmosphere was just perfect for a get-together with friends. Plus, the service was top-notch! Definitely planning to come back next year.

Arrived at 1pm sitting. Plenty of choice with Pizza, Asian, Indian through to the gorgeous Desserts on offer and everywhere is spotless and great value for money.

Great, very helpful, polite staff, nice atmosphere, good food. Only improvement would be more vegetarian and seafood dishes. Will visit again

I was really disappointed with my experience at Cosmo. While the staff were friendly and helpful, the food quality was severely subpar. The floor had scraps of food, and the dessert buffet was a complete mess. Staff said they couldn’t refill the candy section, despite unsupervised children running wild. These children were handling food unhygienically, cutting in line, and even pushing into me—something especially unpleasant as a pregnant woman. We had a child with us who was well-behaved and supervised at all times, which made it even more frustrating to see the lack of control over others. Shockingly, neither the staff nor the parents stepped in to manage the chaos. To top it off, the chocolate fountain was watered down and had marshmallows just floating in it—likely another result of the children being left to run loose like animals. The whole experience felt unhygienic and poorly managed. Overall, the chaotic atmosphere and lack of cleanliness made this an unpleasant dining experience. I won’t be returning.

we were there for the first time and we will definitely come back. the food is delicious, fresh and very varied. the taste of everything was delicious. I liked the chocolate fountain, its design was very interesting, the desserts very large selection. The service very helpful, nice and fast. it was a pleasant meal I recommend to everyone.

Came as a walk in and will never return I’ve never been asked to pay for a meal before I’ve even sat down In my life but had to pay before hand (like a thief ) purchased drinks also Once inside Seated in a nice area Everyone else was been fetched there bills once they have eaten except me who had to pay first The other tables had servers asking if they would like drinks throughout there meals Instead I had to get up and go to the bar And get my own manager is rude and spends more time chatting the young staff up then actually doing anything Not to mention been sat near 2 crack heads who was talking about inappropriate stuff around my child This was supposed to be a nice relaxing meal out with family turned into a absolute joke Ps il be. Calling up later to cancel my party booking and also share my experience with my 30.000 Sheffield followers If cosmos would like a link to my post feel feee to reach out Yesterdays trip was diabolical and I will never return From a ex day 1 customer

Primero buenos trozos. . . . El lugar es bastante agradable. Un poco cómodo con los asientos, pero está bien. Las camareras eran muy agradable y acogedor. Estaba deseando ver qué había... Se fue colina abajo después de eso. Cuando subí dos tercios de los platos estaban vacíos. Sin platos de carne. Todo lo que había eran fideos, patatas fritas, hachís y un montón de arroz. También había pizza y pan de ajo. El bar de ensaladas era más que pobre. Virtualmente tiramos rodajas de remolacha y la ensalada de col sabía a precio inteligente de Asda. Me senté con un plato medio vacío. Volví a subir. Tenían algunos platos más. Escogí pollo agridulce. Digo pollo, tenía una textura horrible y lo dejé. No soy un esnob, me encanta el buffet chino estándar, y me gusta Wings etc en Hull. Esto no estuvo ni cerca. Acepto que en el menú de la hora del almuerzo se reduzca... Pero los platos que sustituí eran una broma. Tomé un poco de helado porque todavía tenía hambre. Esto fue agradable, al igual que el pastelito que tenía. El cóctel también estaba bien. Nunca volvería allí. Lástima porque el lugar podría ser genial. Ace para un niño de 12 años que ama las patatas fritas beige arroz y pan. . . .

Nice selection mostly but allot of it was very spicy so not so good for my son or me. Apple crumble was lovely

The food here is always amazing and delicious; it never disappoints.

Tuve un almuerzo fantástico recientemente! La comida era simplemente excelente, especialmente la carne de res en salsa de frijoles negros y Char Siu - no puede faltar nada de ella. El servicio era de primera categoría y el lugar estaba impecable, creando un ambiente encantador. La única desventaja era el precio del almuerzo; pensé que podría ser un poco mejor. En general, sin duda volveré!

To busy not enough food available waitress walked into me spilling my drink not offered any apology or compensation will definitely NOT be back

Good food . Lots of foods from different nations. Good service. With good beers and cocktails at reasonable prices.

The food was amazing and a huge variety to choose from. Me and my family enjoyed eating at Cosmo, Sheffield. I love that i can try different type of cuisine.

Highly recommend coming here for delicious food.

Fantastic food and service and really friendly and helpful

The amount of choice available at Cosmo is great, I’ve heard it was cheaper before, but for a buffet with this amount of variety I think it’s very cost-efficient at £20. The quality was somewhat inconsistent, but once I had tried tasters of each section and settled on Chinese, I was happy to go up for my second and third helping. Can’t comment too much on service cause it’s a buffet. Though there was never an item I wanted that they had ran out of, so I’d definitely say that’s good service. The atmosphere was a big let-down. The decor was nice and I liked the lighting, but the crowds were really unpleasant. I don’t have a problem with kids but the place was like a play zone sometimes. There would literally be kids running around and screaming, almost knocking me over while i’m trying to squeeze past tables carrying a plate chock-full of Sweet & Sour chicken. One kid nearly headbutted me in the legs while he was running around, not looking. I know the staff can’t really do anything about this, it’s not on them to comment on others parenting styles, but I simply cannot say the atmosphere was good. Maybe put up a sign saying no running and playing? When I have to personally dodge around playing kids to get my food, thats unacceptable to me. I want to come back for the great variety of food, but i probably won’t risk this happening again.

Was quite rudly met and told needed to pay up front. Asked what we wanted to drink - wasn't even offered a menu to decide! Shown to our table and left to it. Food was OK but a lot of it looked like it had been there for hours - very dry and hard. Prawn toasts and spring rolls were inedible! Chocolate fountain was very poor - cheap thin chocolate kinda liquid with only marshmallows to dip. It was also really messy as people had spilt chocolate on the counter. 3% service charge added automatically, which is out of order when you are made to pay up front and don't even know what service you gonna get. I said goodbye to the member of staff on reception and wasn't even acknowledged.

Food was hot, staff were friendly, not queueing to look at what was on offer or to get food and generally a good environment for a meal

Love this, great for the price. Plenty of choice in meals and great service

I popped in for a meal and honestly, everything was spot-on! The fried mushrooms were unbelievably tasty; I couldn’t resist having three servings. Our group devoured the Eton Mess and everyone agreed it was the best dessert ever. The service was fantastic, and the whole vibe was just perfect. I can't think of anything that needs changing; it was just that good!

Good, well stocked buffet, with a selection of foods including Asian, Chinese, roast meat, fried, pizza, sushi and salads. In a modern building in the heart of Sheffield city centre. Toilet facilities share a sink area between gents and ladies which was unusual.

Really enjoy it here with the kids. They can enjoy everything they want and get what deserts they like too. The staff are really attentive to detail and quick with service. Very happy and will be coming again soon.

Great food. Multiple choice. Reasonably priced. I highly recommend.

Booked here for my daughters birthday for them to cancel my booking 2days later, now it to short notice to book anywhere else!

Having been to many such restaurants around the country I was not expecting anything much different. I was very surprised at the layout and hygiene steps in place. Then there is the food. Yes, it is the normal offering but the quality far exceeds anything I have had before. Drinks are also very reasonable. This is my first visit to a Cosmo location but it will definitely not be the last.

All the meat chicken and beef is halal. Variety of dessert. Worth for money

Not much taste to food, average at best plus 3% service charge!

If I can give 20 stars I will. Very nice place with nice workers they smile at us throughout

I visited this buffet recently, and while the food was good and the place looked nice, there was a big problem. In some areas inside, especially near the soda dispenser, there was a terrible smell, like a sewer. It was so bad that it made me lose my appetite and want to leave. If they don’t fix this issue, it’s hard to recommend the place, even though the food is okay.

It was quiet whilst we were there. I've been before but the food was of standard and the best I've ever tasted there.

I was there for the third time. The first two times were great, the third time it was on 3th January 2025, the entire silver buffet set was dirty, full of fingers, food slightly worm, mirrors were dirty, dust and cobwebs were visible on the wall from a distance. Then, around 1 p.m., the plumber came and started to work in the kitchen area in fron of people, the smell was so terrible that a large number of people left the room. We started to feel sick and we left the pace.

Always felt good there. A good place if you like variety.
