Visiting from Canada it reminded me of an all-you-can-eat from my childhood 💜 Everyone was super friendly and the food had a ton of variety. Bring your appetite and grab an icecream come on your way out!

Food was absolutely revolting, it was unediable greasy & raw. Looked like it as cooked by ‘cooking Kate’ from tick-tock, if anyone knows her!! Food has been left out too long & uncovered therefore food was drier than the Sahara Desert. Service was blunt as a HB pencil!!! My husband had some scallops, lamb & prawns. My daughter had chicken korma (which can I add was like drinking water!!). We left 20 mins ago & my husband & daughter started being sick!! I don’t normally write bad reviews, however our experience has ended up with us emptying our shopping bags & using them for puke and racing back home as our bottoms are blinking!! Our bill came to £78.00 in which we had to pay before we ate, no wonder why!! How anyone can eat this kind of food is beyond me!! Absolutely disgusting AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Four was okay and taste was also okay not bad. Sea food was delicious and not much option to eat with the price tag.

I just had an incredible evening at Cosmo! The food was absolutely top-notch—everything from the lamb to the chocolate ice cream was delicious. The service was spot on, and the atmosphere made it such a pleasant place to be. I can't wait to come back in a couple of months for more of those lovely dishes! Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a great meal with friends or family.

Nice place. Nice food and atmosphere. Good food choice. Parking is also very close. The closest is in Park pl. just around the corner.

A large selection of both fish and meat. Very testy fried shrimps 🍤 . There are not many desserts, but the ice cream is top... I think we will again.

You try to ring them to make a booking for a big table and all they do is just hang up on you not good if you ask me

First time visit was a little disappointed Carvery offer was very poor (Only cauliflower as the veg to go with the roast, tiny Yorkshire pudding and frozen roast potatoes and heavy so thick you could hang wallpaper with it) Other cuisines on offer were better not good seemed warm rather than hot. For the price I would not return rather spend the money on a more established venue

Haven't been for a long time but me and my wife thought we would revisit after years of good food and service in the past but after tonight's experience it is a real shame to be writing a bad review. We arrived at 7.30 shown to our table witch was brilliant drinks turned up straight away but when it came to the food was absolutely awful there was nothing left and you could tell its been left there a long time and was told because it's almost 8pm the chefs stops cooking. But I do have to say we asked for a refund and that was no problem our server Mr riyadul went above and beyond and couldn't be more sorry We will come back in future because it can be really nice hopefully it was just a one off

all the tables are cramped together in different small rooms, its very loud and overwhelming. the food just isnt worth it, tasted like i was having a £2.50 ready meal from tescos (probably wouldve been better) and theres little to no vegetarian options. just not worth your time.. GO TO ZA ZA BIZAAR!!

Never answer the phone. Days and night no answer They need employ somebody if they don't bother having customers in

Really nice restaurant, nice atmosphere and OUTSTANDING SERVICE! All staff members were fantastic, very busy but the service was faultless. No real complaints except the food is average, not bad but nothing amazing. I guess it is a buffet afterall so it was acceptable. Good value for money too.
