COSMO All You Can Eat World Buffet Restaurant | Romford

Cosmo was okay when we visited.

We didn't book a table and had to queue up. The wait to enter was not bad as we got there in the afternoon before 2 p.m. We were on the line for less than 15 minutes. The staff were friendly and welcoming with smiles on their faces so it was worth the wait. When we eventually sat down the service was great, although we still needed them to properly clean our table which we didn't mind.
You have to pay before you can start eating which I believe is reasonable, especially seeing the number of people that come into the restaurant. The payment is taken at the table.
There's a variety of dishes to choose from so you'll find everything you need.
If you know me I'm more inclined to favour seafood which they didn't have much of on the day we went. The pepper prawns were very popular so you had to stand at the station for them to bring out the next batch, this I learned after visiting the station 3 times.
The sushi was too cold to enjoy and there weren't many varieties to choose from so I didn't try it after trying one.
The other dishes available were tasty so there was something for everyone.

One of the downsides was the number of plates and cutlery available.
The plates kept running out and they were not stocked quickly, you had to ask one of the workers about the plates. It felt like you were an inconvenience to them. Some plates came back not being washed properly so that put you off a bit, but I brushed it off seeing how much I've paid for the food.
The soft-serve ice cream 🍦 was so slow to dispense that you just gave up. There were cups of ice cream which was still good but not the best quality.

The amenities were clean and great to use.

I suggest that when you visit make sure to go there when you're hungry and make sure the children you take along are good and not fussy eaters unless you'll be paying for food that they wouldn't eat.

Overall the place was a good place to have lunch with the family and friends.

Indian section is nothing to shout about, chicken tikka was ok, rice ok tikka mushrooms? And chickpeas? Naan the man said to go away and come back in 10 mins (Rude( Not a great selection of Authentic North Indian dishes.Thai was also ok but no white rice to go with the curries??? Weird no sticky rice, no jasmin rice. Not sure what I was supposed to eat the curry with? Cocktails a bit on the small side. Prawns great and enjoyed ribs.

Nice restaurant with plenty of seating. You pay up front and then it's all you can eat. The food was OK with plenty of choice although I'm not convinced those who are gluten free or vegan are well catered for. This was my first experience of a buffet like this. I'm not sure I'm particularly comfortable about everything being 'shared'. I saw people slipping on dropped food and it felt a bit like a school canteen. However, you get what you pay for and I would probably go again.

If you haven't been to Cosmo, you haven't lived!
Buffet, lots of food and drink.
It was a friends birthday and so we made a booking. It's a popular birthday spot as loads of other people had their birthdays too!
Beautiful ambience!
Friendly and helpful staff, always smiling!!
The food was sooooo scrumptious and delightful!!!
Sooo much variety.
Lots to eat and drink.
The ice cream machine and the chocolate fountain are simply an amazing bonus! A great hit with the kids and, of course, adults too!!!!
Clean plates, cutlery, cups and bowls
The best part? You get to eat! And eat!! And eat!!! Until you can't eat anymore. Then you eat some more!!!!
It was such a beautiful experience. The adults loved it. The kids loved it. We would definitely be back!

The decor is nice, chairs padded and very comfortable. We were a table of 5 which they squeezed us onto a table of 4 even though we had booked well in advance, luckily we had a small one with us but if it'd been 5 adults it would have been uncomfortable.
First impression was the buffet area was smaller than I expected, though after having a good look around it had all the usual you'd expect and was kept clean and tidy.
We were one if the first sitting and headed up to the buffet quite quickly but all king prawn items were gone and not replenished in the 90mins we were there even though asking. Now I know this is an expensive item but it does state on the menu so expected.
There was a cold prawn salad and even smoked salmon though.
The Sunday carvery was okay, the beef and Gammon were juicy and tasty though the accompaniments were lack lustre.
The teppanyaki didn't open until 40 mins into our sitting, but once open the only wait was for your food to be cooked. Choice of beef steak (very thin) prawns, scallop and squid and you can pick a mix of 2.
Large choice if deserts, fruit and icecream plus a chocolate fountain.
The staff were friendly and helpful, removing dirty plates quickly and there when needed them but without being overbearing.
Overall the food was okay, we had our fill and everyone left happy.. I would go there again but not in a hurry.

All you can eat with Whippy Ice cream and a chocolate fountain.... What's not to like.
Odd you can't book on the same day so if ore the website, just turn up and hope. Not too busy when we went and we were seated instantly. Food kept warm and replenishmed pretty quick. Great selection from around the world.
Come and enjoy!

I visited Cosmo Romford on Sunday 18.9.22. The place was fully booked. I have enjoyed the noodles, the spicy chicken, fried mussels and its cheesecakes. Definitely went to get the cheesecakes twice!!! my first time in a Cosmo restaurant but I have experienced other buffets. I believe it's a place for many of us to eat at a reasonable price.

The food as awful I would not wish anyone that goes here the manager is rude went for myth amount of people that’s was there like it’s customers fault. Tables were left with food no one was taking the empty plates there was smashed glass no one cleared it when infants are there, I will never ever go back again good for nothing the staff are ok but the management needed to go back to training after paying £800 on food for him to say all we can have back is £21 off service charge which to me is an insult. No ratings of i can do it please go if you wish but to us never again
