Reviews of COSMO All You Can Eat World Buffet Restaurant | Belfast
L. X.
COSMO was the most satisfying buffet I've ever had in Belfast, the food was rich and delicious and I ate very well. The staff were very warm and helpful. Special thanks to Sam, Jim, Chessy, Bailey for their service. Thumbs up!
H. 1.
Good place if you want to try different variety of food but the food doesn’t taste as I expected ..
N. H.
Brilliant choice of food, £14.99 eat as much as you can , very fancy restaurant , would 100% recommend to everyone I know
S. C.
Been twice in past week and honestly the food was average at best. You are paying for the variety more than quality of food. £17.50 for just your food and then drinks on top... you are talking £21 per person. If you aren't a big eater or adventurous I wouldn't bother. Even if you are adventurous since the quality ain't great you won't get a proper idea of what the food can actually taste like when made well. Floor is slippy and sticky in places which is just not enjoyable! Wouldnt be rushing back again

Place was clean, staff were lovely, food tasted good. Yes, it ain't fine dining, but it's a good spot. It's very popular between the families. The only down side is, I wish parents that looked after their children Instead of letting them running bout everywhere with dirty hands 👀
S.
Dined in for the first time, was served by Ethan and he explained all the sections and particularly his attentiveness throughout my day. The food was excellent and warm may be because it was the opening. Liked the salted chili chicken and the desserts was one of the best I tasted in Belfast. Would recommend to others.
N. T.
A great place to enjoy world cuisine in a pocket friendly way.
Selection of Chinese,Indian, Italian & European dishes.
Adapted Covid protocols well.
The guy at the entrance and girl at the stairs are making sure place is not overcrowded and constantly keeping an eye number of guests.
With Covid protocols your time is limited to 1.5 hours.
This time food tasted was not upto my expectations, certainly need improvement there.
I have had better Cosmo experiences from Dublin and other parts of UK.Certainly they make money from selling alcohol and soft drinks compare to food.
R. N.
This review is real and effective. The restaurant's environment, service, and price are all great! You can tell how great this restaurant is by the number of people in line at the door. Better to have a reservation!
T. C.
Was few days ago with my family in Cosmo! Yes they are quite busy... but I can understood as for price and wariety of food very reasonable! The food are very good quality 👌 and very tasty!
Will be back again!
朱.
The food is good, the environment is clean, my friends and I have been here many times. Weekends are crowded, so it's best to book in advance. The staff have been great, especially Kenny, Aditya, Chessy and Fiona who have gone out of their way to help and serve us.
n. d.
Was lovely food. But the service wasn't up to a good standard. We were chasing staff members for drinks continuously and we ended up only doing 2 rounds as it wasn't worth the hassle. The queue to pay the bill at the end was horrendous.
M. M.
Had a great time, excellent selection of a wide range of food and drink so there is definately something for everyone. The staff were also very friendly and helpful, especially Ting and Fiona. Will definately come back again.
D. O.
Excellent dinner choice! There are so many different kinds of food which means you can taste a little of something different and see if you like it or not.
C. m. c.
Lovely spot for dinner or lunch better booking in on the fork app before u go as can be busy at times.great range off food from Chinese to Indian to Thai to American I really like the live cooking stations as well a must visit in Belfast based in Victoria Square
f. k.
The food is good 👍! It is the best buffet Chinese people in Belfast. The staff are all nice and patient, especially Bailey, Chessy, Kenny, Jim and Lucas.
M. E.
I went here two days ago, and it amazing me and my family really and the price isnt too bad. One thing is that there ribs was a bit chewy but overall it was great.
W. M.
Larisa was our member of staff to show us to our table & explain how their system worked. She was very polite & friendly .Cosmo offers a great range of foods from starters mains & sweets with a selection from various countries . Each time you come back to the table the previous plate has been lifted. Close to Train Station & Waterfront where we were going & not badly priced. We sampled couple of cocktails which went down well. Will definitely go back
T. B. (. H.
Some of the food was fresh, some of the food was old, dry and inedible. Ice machine was broken so needed to ask for it at the bar... but no sign on the machine that it was broken.
K. C.
It’s not a tourist attraction but a must visit place. I travelled from US and this was the best buffet experience till now. You can taste food from different cuisines and price is affordable for that huge spread. Reservation is a must else be ready to wait even during weekends. The dessert spread is huge. They have separate live counters for Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Italian. Staff is friendly. I specially liked their lamb preparation and King Prawns. Naans at live counters and steak was very tasty. Gravies were well cooked and you can feel the taste difference. The place is very well maintained. Highly recommended.
N. S.
The food was amazing!
The service was so great and all the staff were so happy and helpful, the sushi was definitely my favourite but that’s subjective from person to person.
Everything was super well presented, I don’t have any photos of the food, but I’ve attached 2 photos of my boyfriend and I having a good time!
Also: the cocktails were so good
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to go for food with a good atmosphere and can’t decide what they want to eat!!!!!
5 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
E. C.
What a bargain! So many variety of selection from different Asian food, such as Chinese, Indian, Japanese. They also have live station to prepare meat freshly as you ask for, including lamb, steak, chicken, scallops, just name a few. A queue may be expected during peak dining hour, but the restaurant is quite big to accommodate lots of diners at the same time. We arrived at 8pm and entered the restaurant at around 8:30 (on Wednesday FYI). Good value for money!
L. N.
I have eaten here twice, lyndon and sara have good the service attitude, the variety of food is very delicious, I will come again. 👍
C.
Lots of choice but feels very ‘all inclusive’ - not top quality. The price has gone up quite a bit, it’s ok as a one off but would rather have a cooked to order meal
Y. T.
Wide selection of dishes. But everything is fried. Breaded shrimp fried with shrimp shell. When you remove it, the taste goes to hell. The cooked shrimp were extremely tasteless. Beef and lamb - very tough. I liked the chicken wings and desserts. Fruits - tasteless and like a plastic...
The staff was not the kindest. Very nervous and angry....
w. n.
Definitely Authentic Asian food, Lyndon and Sara served us well, want to try some real Asian flavor, just go there!
S. H.
Cosmo is fantastic for those looking to get their fill of food. Whenever we're in Northern Ireland we always make sure we book in a trip to Belfast so we can indulge the hunger beast at Cosmo. They have a great selection of food including Chinese, Indian, pizzas, 'british' deep fried (chips, nuggets, sausages etc), sushi, freshly fried meats, chicken and seafood as well as an assortment of desserts (my photos don't do the variety justice). On the topic of desserts I'll be upfront from the start, you're not going to return to Cosmo for the puddings alone. They are very much of the cheaper variety and by no means high quality. However, they're probably every child's sugary dream. Back to the mains/sides. At the end of the day it is a buffet, so don't expect fine dining standards. It is however very fresh, tasty and plentiful; all the things a good buffet should be. As mentioned above, there are some food items which are cooked freshly, on demand. I don't tend to go for these ase my experience of using them in the past is you have to wait a while (only like 5-10 minutes, but when there's delicious smelling food all around you this feels like an age) and in my opinion it's not as tasty as the other food on offer, so why wait. The staff are very friendly and there are plenty of them darting about topping up the trays and clearing away your used plates. We normally opt for the soft drinks with free refills which include the normal selection of fizzy drinks. I think the food and drinks are is priced reasonably for what you get. Also worth baring on mind, you get a 2 hour window. This is enough for the average diner, but if you were planning a party/dragged out catch up session you may want to plan for a destination to move on to. Summing up, I have been to Cosmo in Belfast probably half a dozen times or more and never been disappointed. On each occasion I have gone in excited and with high expectations only to leave an hour and a half later feeling very sick but with a smile on my face and is that not what all you can eat is about? It is one of those restaurants that I tell people about everytime I've been to it and always recommend. If you like your food, you'll love Cosmo.
n. l.
First time ever going to a Cosmo. And I loved it, we arrived late - roughly 45 minutes before closing time. And they accommodated us perfectly, they let us know that the food would be getting cleared 15 minutes before closing. Which was perfectly fine, we got the food we wanted - which was absolutely delicious and amazing 😍😍 and the desserts are to die for 😍
L. H.
Didn't enjoy as much as I did pre-covid.
Food just wasn't as good as it was previously and the price definitely dis not reflect this either.
C. T.
Has great selection of different food types.
H. B.
I ate here today for the time with my mates and Oh my word! It’s an all you can eat buffet, abd as you can tell, I pigged out! 😂😂 Really enjoyed the atmosphere, the vibe and the service! Can’t wait to go back here again for more amazing food!!
k. s.
Food wasn't particularly visibly fresh couple of times when I went for lunch. However, I go to this place at least once a month and I completely love it. The range is decent enough. Weekday lunch is cost effective whereas dinner price is little on the higher side. You will have options of some drinks to go with it but that is charged extra and included in the buffet price.
S. O.
Smaller than the one in Dublin but the quality of food is impeccable. Will be back!
Definitely try their chicken selection
D. R.
Nice place for food lovers, really good and big selection around world meals. Amazing deserts make this place ideal for families or nice date.
O.
Nice staff! They had varieties but the spaghetti bolognese was bland. Loved the vegetable spring roll
K. J.
A bit disappointed… love the idea of all the the different kind of food but some were really not good. Mad queue for entering as well
t. d.
Soup was lovely chicken noodle also all meats were so tender the only problem is eat way to much an so much to choose from also bottomless coke couldn't ask for better
L.
Food was great as always. A BIG complaint that all of my family would make is that there was no social distancing at all, both downstairs where you come in and wait to go to your table, and upstairs where you eat at the table. No tables were distanced and too many people were up there at once, they never checked for covid cards or certificates.
No dividers between tables like they said on the "about" section, no social distancing and nobody sanitising even though there were sanitisation stations around the restaurant and alot of people not wearing masks when going up to get their food.
The food was great but we were overall uncomfortable on how much it wasn't socially distanced and because everyone's tables were placed too close to one another. At one moment I was almost shoulder to shoulder with one person while sitting down to eat.
A.
Amazing selection of food which includes Indian, Chinese, Italian, Japanese and Mexican. For a set price you can try a bit of everything and go back for more if you wish. Desserts include lemon cheesecake which is to die for, strawberry cheesecake, eton mess, chocolate eclairs and lots more. Staff are friendly and helpful even though they are usually extremely busy. You can book in advance or take a chance and just turn up. I would advise booking at the weekends as the queues are long. Great place for groups too.
Z. M.
Food always great. Great selection and everything always very fresh due to high turnover. Place is aways very busy so well worth booking first.
A. C.
Lovely food, big choise and good for families with kids as well, was busy but worth. Definatly coming back.
D. C.
Great selection of food to choose from inckuding Asian, Chinese, European and Italian. All in buffet style with no limit to prrtion size. Something for everyone and at a very reasonable price.
J. O.
Lovely food but bar service quite slow but apart from that first class
E. S.
Very good and worthy place for a buffet. Went twice and enjoyed the food. The chocolate fountain was awesome with marshmallow s dipped in it. Tummy filling 😍
M. B.
Food was ok beef was tuff but rest was lovely but no vanilla ice cream only chocolate 🤮 staff was very helpful in every way possible
A. M. G.
1st class food ! What a variety u have to choose from and everything was delicious especially the steak the chef cooked me it was unreal ! Great selection of desserts and a choc fountain was lovely! Will defo be back!
J. s.
Nitant at reception was very helpful and very welcoming. Good food,Good price. Highly recommend.
Definitely will be back.
G. U.
There are sufficient options to suit any eater, friendly service, quality of food can be a bit hit and miss (disgusting mocktail, decent egg plants, good tepanyaki option, good lemon drizzle cake, boring dry coconut cake etc. ) overall would recommend as an easy option to satisfy groups, if not too fussy on quality.
c. W.
OmG Amazing food ❤💚 everyone loved it.
Defs going again
N. B.
Beautiful place, amazing food. Dirt cheap to have lunch/diner in. Recommended.
C. w. a. A. C.
This is an all u can eat buffet with a difference..... Instead of being just a Chinese buffet this incorporates mo s.d t foods from around the world n have over a hundred diff dishes to choose from (n that's not including desserts!)
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone but would also recommend booking as this place is extremely popular for both lunch n dinner
The photo only shows 1 segment of the food area. There are much much more.
M. S.
First class service. First class food. A very wide variety of food. I'll definitely be back here.
J. G.
As usual.
A great variety of dishes.
Frequently renewed, thus avoiding the downfalls of lesser places.
Evening menu if much better as includes the grill and sushi areas.
Definitely would recommend and visit again.
r. s.
Good variety of dishes.
D. W.
Good selection of food including Chinese, Indian, Italian, other European, etc. Buffet trays were generally topped up with fresh food and clearly labelled. Vegetarian options were available but the selection was limited. Prices were reasonable. Worth a look for an all you can eat buffet that should suit most tastes. Maybe take a look around at the food to see if you are happy with the offerings before committing to take a table.
W. M.
I have to admit there was lots of excitement and hype first time going there with tales of unlimited food from around the world and bottomless drink fountains, but really for a family of four unless you have a ferocious appetite then it's expensive for what it is really. 2nd 3rd times was similar even though we tried different times of the day lunch, evening, sunday etc. lacklustre choice and even when it was still an hour and a half before closing time they had started to shut down stations. So no live theatre or freshly cooked or prepared. just luke warm ready meals in a trough with reheated rice and the most freshly cooked thing was chips. which is a bit much when you're £50 down and having staff clearing away your plate when your getting a refil of juice. Was disappointed and could have got a better feed if I went elsewhere.
M. N.
Highly recommended. Good food. Excellent service to go with. Was lovely.
J. K.
Great for food, if you can't decide what you want.. A little bit of everything
C. Y. M.
Came in for a late reservations and they still had plenty of food laid out for us. Staff was not pushy and grill was handing out generous portions. Only late night dining in Belfast city centre, open 10:30.
t.
Was quite busy when we arrived but seated quickly. Staff were helpful and polite. Large range of food but I have to say was mediocre at best for the price. Almost 43 quid for 2 smallish plates of food each. 2 drinks and one cocktail. Looking down the drinks menu I see a fruit shoot for kids is a whopping £2.20.
I over heard a lady ask why her 12yo kid was charged as an adult and the guy behind the till said its based on height. Like really, they aren't buying shoes🤣
M. B.
Lots of choice. All you can eat, polite service.
M. L.
I recommend it if you like Chinese food, Italian, steaks. Desserts are fresh
K. M.
Friday lunch is £9.99 per adult for the buffet plus drinks. Got seated straight away with no queuing. Prompt and friendly service. Dividers in place between tables. One way system in operation which 99% of customers do follow. Plenty hand sanitizers and disposable gloves throughout the room. Toilets were immaculate as always. Good selection of food. And as a vegetarian I had lots of options too 👍 Food tasty although some options weren't as hot as I'd have liked and ended up eating stuff cold 😜 At some points the plates were hot, and at others cold.
N. J.
First time being their,must say the girl at front desk came across as being rude like she couldn't be bothered dealing with people, food was lovely worth the money
P. C.
Outstanding value for money. Food is absolutely top notch and staff are always friendly. Booking is essential as this place is always rammed (understandably so).
H. z.
I have visited this restaurant more than three times, cheap, you can choose what you want to eat from lots of different dishes
D. G.
Best food going but if u have tall kids they charge u for an adult
P. S.
Amazing value in the centre of Belfast! An all-you-can-eat buffee with a vast range of dishes to choose from - mostly Chinese, but also Indian, Japanese, Latin American and even English! Prices are very reasonable indeed, service is friendly and efficient, the place is spotless and Covid-aware. My wife and I visited on Sunday evening and were so impressed we returned the following evening! The food isn't award-winning quality but who cares?! There's loads of it, it's tasty, and the atmosphere is great.
a. c.
Great choices, staff pleasant. Only issue was being asked to wear gloves that were provided when selecting food but the gloves that were provided had all been used previously and put back into tub to be used again, I sanitised my hands before and after instead I wasn't putting those on!
S. B.
Fantastic as always. Always prebook your table otherwise long queue to get table.
N. F.
Absolutely stunning food with loads of choice, we were served by mustafa who was completely on the ball kept making sure we were good and was firing our drinks out like no other! I'm sure he's a great asset to the team at cosmos as he's made our meal amazing :) Well worth the trip as there's loads of choice and as a vegetarian I was catered to really well also
T. J. O.
Nice food, wonderful ambience. Must try!
V. T. S. F.
It really has a lot of different kinds of cuisines to choose from! But the food quality can be improved. But still enjoy my time there.
L. D.
Great selection of food and very well run.
T. V.
The price of this buffet restaurant are terrific, especially when you consider the unlimited use of the soda fountain and vast food options available.
The food itself is overall not particularly good, but there is high variability in quality.
The italian dishes, as well as the british highly processed potato/kitchen based breaded snacks should be avoided, as i found the taste lacking and not worth the money.
The asian dishes and desert can be recommended though, and since its a buffet youll find something to your liking.
Would recommend to go on a quiet night as when it's busy you might wait longer for food.
You can be in-and-out also quite quickly, as there'll be no waiting on a server.
M. V.
Visited on a special occasion but was highly disappointed with variety options of Vegetarian food. Though there was good variety for Non-Vegetarian cuisines but one they mention good variety multi cuisine they need to be more smarter with menu. I would suggest that considering the kind of food people eat now they should be more clear and atleast share menu on website.
L. a.
The service was amazing. Every single member of staff was incredibly helpful and extremely polite and the food was amazing. So many different options to choose from. Would gladly go again and would definitely recommend if anyone is ever in belfast again.
M. V.
Nice place. Hard to finish meal in 1h . 5y old charged £8 , she didn't eat more than than for £2 . But overall okay. Sometimes staff disappeared and I lost my dear time.
C. B.
Excellent restaurant if you are looking for a cheap and cheerful large meal. Average to low quality food but also very cheap. I would imagine a great place to bring children if you want to keep the price down
C. O. R.
Wide food selection, fast service and good food. Christmas dinner parts were warm rather than hot but still nice.
C. T.
Glad to see it's back to self service.
J. B.
120 dishes to choice! Very good choice of food for £8-10. Extremely helpfull staff. The best place sort of eat as you can I ever visited. Good job.
E. D.
All the food and food arrangements were good
Worth the price
No way for the price
Good quality food and well cooked
From my last three experiences
Staff TATA who is Supervisior I feel quite racist to other nationals and so sweet and smiling to nativists.
She was giving the look as if we came to eat from her pocket as free
needed actions from Management !
M. M.
First time I've been to a buffet setting after lockdown, and safe to say the whole experience was well coordinated and looked after by Mustafa, our waiter. He was a swell guy, and kept our drinks topped up and our tables clean while we gorged ourselves. Its safe to say I've never felt more looked after by a waiter than when I was in Mustafa's care. 12/10 service
J. C. G.
great food, great atmosphere. can get a bit too busy
S. W.
Food was not the best but the customer service we received from Mustafa was absolute class. We were cared for by Mustafa and he made sure we had received our drinks when other staff members were not as attentive. Definitely a great asset to the Cosmo team!
J. S.
Fabulous selection of food, warm friendly staff only one thing we had table booked but still had to wait 20 minutes for it as it was so busy... But ut was worth it
L. C.
Booked a table for myself and my daughter, Nitanti was absolutely lovely and very welcoming. Food was lovely and would definitely recommend this place. We will be paying another visit soon.

Absolutely amazing place, food is the best around.

Nothing fantastic in terms of taste. A lot of different things to pick from. 14.95 pound
J. M.
Food great, service excellent. Staff extremely polite and helpful. Nitant met us when we arrived and was very welcoming.
E. H.
We had a fantastic experience in Cosmo Belfast. The food was delicious and the staff are very efficient. We really enjoyed our visit. We will be back.
M. W.
Plenty of choice and variety. Due to covid restrictions food was being served so you asked for what you wanted. Staff were friendly and place was clean.
Got a mojito cocktail and it was really nice.
There was floor arrows to show you directions and each table had hand sanitiser. They had dividers between tables that were beside eachother.
Highly recommended, food to suit everyone.
P. S.
Five of us went last month & had a great meal. There was a really good selection of different food, the servers were really helpful & it was a delight to be out post lockdown!
M. A. D.
Excellent food, great ambience and more importantly the service was an excellent one, especially Nitant who was managing at the entrance, he was very good.Will definitely come back again.
s. p.
Cosmo has gotten very expensive for not top rate food.
H. S.
used to come belfast cosmo with family before lockdowns quite often recenly had a meals with freinds on saturday evening 8:30pm and its absolutely amazing buffet restaurant and the bills came at the end with reasonble prices ,we enjoyed very much in belfast cosmo again and we will come back for more .
J. M.
A good buffet that has a wide variety of foods with nice staff, a good place to go with friends. however the food is okay it is average.
M. F.
The place is okay. Usually plenty of people, need to wait a lot especially if more than 2 people. The price is quite good for an all you can eat.
I usually choose Cosmo if there isn't too much crowd, I hate waiting if hungry. The food is okay, plenty of choices but I reckon they use lot of spices and sometimes the food is not really tasty, you begin to eat pizza and finish eating sushi without tasting the difference anymore.
I suggest it for if you want to eat plenty with a "fair enough" budget.
T. G.
Mustafa was our waiter for the night and he couldn’t have been more helpful. Such a nice guy and literally got us anything we asked for. Much appreciated!
A. F.
It was our first visit to this place and we were very happy. There is a huge selection of food available and is perfect for trying new food, if you have a picky eater, or someone who will eat anything. Price was great. Staff are overall lovely but one or two were a little hard to communicate with. Would definitely recommend and will return when we are next here.
v. v.
Exceptional. Highly recommended. Wide range of cuisine. Fresh and clean. Service was excellent
L. G.
It's a bit of a gamble. I've been here 3 times and the first time it was amazing; but the second and third time the food was cold and just nasty. I do like the huge variety of food. I also love love love the desserts. I like how it's all you can eat and has free refills. It's I really cheap for what you get too.
C. A.
Very good loved it clean and food was great niathen at front so kind helpful definitely returning my fav place eat
m.
Best all you can eat in town, when it's busy the staff do a great job especially with social restrictions in place
a. b.
Excellent world food, perfect location , quality of food and customer service is great , Pratik Bhor served us in the restaurant. He is very polite and professional. The restaurant is highly recommended .
S. N.
Has great buffet selection for Indian, Chinese and European cuisine. Friendly staff and good environment to enjoy dinner. Money's worth ☺️
t.
Thought the initial demand for this place may soon ware off but visited recently and still busy. Selection of food including Indian (my favourite), Chinese, Italian, sushi, and a carvery stand. If you can't find something you don't enjoy, your just being too fussy. For such a selection, food quality is pretty good. Desert stand good as well. As good a buffet as you will find in Belfast.
M. H.
Tasty food. Plenty of it. Very busy so always book ahead. Especially Friday and Saturday
Z. S.
This restaurant has some great tasting food, and a very pleasant contemporary interior. However it is very busy.
Upon arrival, I was greeted with the unpleasant smell of smokers standing out front, indulging in their post meal habit intake. Once past the waiting area, you are seated in what seems to me, the most confined dinning space possible. This is not ideal if you plan a private conversation or have claustrophobia.
If you don’t mind the sound, of the person next to chewing, or touching elbows, the food is great and atmosphere is upbeat.
A. C.
Great selection of food and a nice atmosphere. The receptionist Nitant was very welcoming and friendly. A credit to the company.
P. M. G.
Varied selection of food All you can eat

Very nice place to eat with a plethora of menu to choose from...

Loved the food, lovely fella named mustafa served me all night and made sure I felt welcome and satisfied. Will be going back for seconds. Yummy !!!!!
k. s.
Nitant was in the table service. That was my first time visit. I say he was brilliant at his service. Food I ate was good. Will come back.
l. h.
They will measure your children to ensure they are under 150cm before allowing you to pay child prices. Selection better in the evening than at lunch but in general very good value for money... if you don't have tall kids.
R. Z.
Nitant was very helpful today. We were just hopeful to get a table tonight and he made sure we were accommodated. Kudos!
R. P.
Ohh love Cosmo!! Great range of dishes from all over the world. Amazing for kids too, plenty to choose from for them, and a self serve soft ice cream machine! Prices outstanding! And it has a bar! Get free slice of cake on your birthday!
K. M.
Where do I begin... So much food to choose from, all freshly cooked and piping hot. Live cooking stations and the desserts... 😋 I have 3 children, all very picky eaters, and I have never seen them eat so much and thoroughly enjoy every bit. For the price, it is an amazing all you can eat treat. I've lost count of how many times we have been here. Could not recommend Cosmo highly enough. 👍😁
G. R.
Was at cosmo last week food was better than what was said in perivous reviews was serviced drinks by zainab who was cheerful aNd more than willing to help us odder more drinks when our orders were late me and my family will be going again.
S. C.
Great place to park friendly staff
G. c.
Great service. Easy to book a reservation and not a long wait to get to your table. Great selection of food and desserts. Very warm and cosy inside. Overall very good and a nice fitting price.
D. B.
Good variety of food to chose from and good quality. Friendly staff. Small complaint we were left at the front door which was bunged with other customers waiting to be seated even though our table was booked fir a certain time. When we were finally admitted i was a bit surprised to find that the place was near empty so I cant understand the delay at getting admitted.
R. M.
With a vast range of Asian cuisine from Japanese to Indian dishes there is something for everyone. The chicken korma I had was creamy and delicious and the vegetable samosas were the best I've tasted. You can also buy refillable drinks to quench your thirst which is perfect when eating so many plate fulls! Not only that it's surprisingly cheap to eat here.

Great selection of food from all around the world. They prepare most food before hand and is a self served buffet. Bottomless soft drinks come at a fixed cost. There are stands where food is cooked before you and gets served to you instantly. This includes teppanyaki and chow meins. They have some selections of pizza and sushi.

We have visited Cosmos several times over the past years. Excellent. The choice of food, the service, cleanliness, all are excellent. Booking at weekends is essential, but still expect a wait of up to 15/20 minutes before your party is called. We love the Eton Mess, but was disappointed on this occasion it wasn't available. Great choice of food for kids too.

It is a place to unleash the beast within you. Eat, eat and eat. They have a great collection of cuisine buffet likely, local, asian mainly indian and Chinese alongside Italian dishes. I will recommend this place for the sea food lovers. They will cook the sea food collection on demand in front of you with customised preparations. Also have range of liquors and cocktails. Go on and feed your hungry stomach here. Eat until you die.
M. A.
Excellent quality food at a very reasonable price. Specialist items like squid or steak take up to 15min to be served. Dumplings are rarely available. Everything else is great.

Been to cosmo a few times and I've enjoyed it each time. All you can eat and it costs you £15-17 depending on what day it is, although this doesn't include drinks but soft drinks are bottomless. Good value if you can put away a good feed, especially with the variety it can be hard to get trying everything on your first time here and is definitely worth the second trip up. If you're heading during the weekend I strongly suggest phoning a reservation as we made the mistake the first time of rocking up and having to wait over an hour for a table for two! I'd like to see them have some different dishes sometime and I don't know if it's a thing they do, but nothings changed since my first visit so I don't imagine they will. If you decide to dine here during the week when it's quiet I would also aim to be seated for maybe 6-7, since as the evening draws on and it's quiet they stop replacing the food, learnt this the hard way when I missed out on my lotus buns last time!
All in all good food and atmosphere and overall not a bad price depending on what you can get out of it. If you haven't tried it I'd give it a go (:

I really enjoyed the buffet. Good service and nice location.
s. k.
For the price you can't go wrong!
e. a.
Great food, lovely environment but it's better to book before hand because there is always a queue. There is so much to choose from and the quality of each dish is 100% fantastic. The Dublin cosmos isn't as neat and the food as delicious as Belfast.
C. B.
Absolutely amazing service, the waitress Zainab so incredibly amazing and kind, coming back tomorrow but with friends and family!
C.
This is a fantastic restaurant, you pay one set price and then you can eat all you want. The staff are always very friendly and are willing to help in anyway they can. There is a range of gluten free options available. The one thing that I would advise anyone wanting to go is to pre-book online as it can be quite a wait if you just walk in. This just goes to show how popular it is. My wife, me and our 3 children regularly eat here.
r. w.
A wide selection of food at a set price. You help yourself from the extensive buffet. Refillable soft drinks available. The more popular dishes are very fresh. the less popular dishes seem to sit for a while. Worth a visit.
T. B.
We went as a birthday party group, the food was good and constantly refilled!
It was extremely busy! We had booked in advance and where still made to wait before being called it was freezing cold and the loby was packed out.
Then when we finally got to out table we were squashed in like sardines!! It was a major hassle to get to and from our table freely as we were disturbing and moving chairs on the way past also pushing into the other parties on each side!
I feel if it was organised a little better and maybe not greedily squeezing people to the point where it was just madness everywhere! People would actually benefit from trying different things and enjoying a relaxed social atmosphere.

One time I went to cosmos and got so fat that I literally couldn’t walk and had to phone for a lift home. This was one of the best days of my life. The next day not so much when it came back out. I try to come here at least once a year as I don’t want to get to fat every time i feel fulfilled and have a clear outlook on life it’s like a pilgrimage. If you want to find the meaning of life eat so much that you nearly pass out.
S. J.
Great food good selection
p. d.
Visited cosmo Belfast yesterday, for my daughter's birthday. We all enjoyed our time there, the selection of different foods was really good. We bought a birthday cake, and the staff bought it 2 our table, when we were ready. Staff were very friendly, pay the place a visit, you'll enjoy it.
a. h.
This restaurant has lots of different dishes from around the world, one price eat has much as you can, only thing they ask is don't waste food.
G. H.
Fairly decent food and good selection. My son loved it, especially the desserts! Slightly let down by the wait as the receptionist forgot to call our name, but staff pleasant enough and overall good value
H. A.
The place has a good mix of Asian and continental cuisines. If you are looking for a change from the daily meals you have try out this place as it gives you a chance to explore other cuisines that you won't try otherwise. The live counters were nice and had a wide variety of items for a person to taste.
l. 2.
Absolutely munchy moo people George's food
w. a.
Food was lovely and staff are very friendly. The only problem we had was the prawns. If they are putting them in batter they should take the shells of them as u have to remove the batter to take the shell of the prawns
c. c.
Food was really nice, and the service from pratrick was very good. Will definitely go again.
E. E.
Excellent International Cuisine, at a reasonable price, good value for money.
L. M.
An amazing restaurant that is severely popular, and with good reason.
With a wide range of food to choose from in this all you can eat buffet, you totally get your money’s worth.
The staff are also amazing considering the popularity Cosmo receives, they handle it all in their stride. I love this restaurant! 5* all around!
A. M.
I don't normally eat at buffet restaurants but this one compared very favourably with all the others I've tried. Lots of choice in the buffet and the food was well prepared and tasty. If buffet is your thing then I'd definitely recommend. Dropped a star because they couldn't cope with everyone paying separately...
D. M.
Cosmo is great value for money and a good choice for a group of people that aren't sure what they want to eat or want different types of food. The range is very good. The quality of some of the food isn't great. I would say most is pretty good though. Cosmo is quite good for vegetarians, too, but sometimes this food is not marked clearly. The restaurant has a busy, chaotic atmosphere so I wouldn't recommend for a quiet or romantic meal. Also, this particular Cosmo restaurant is often fully booked, especially at weekends, so you may need to book weeks in advance.
F. O. H.
Never disappointed when we go here. Very reasonable prices and a great variety of food, all of which cooked really well. Everything I've tried here was truly delicious and always leave feeling like I need trousers 2 waist sizes larger.
R. V.
The service was good, however the food could be better. There is a lot to choose from but the quality is seriously lacking. Some chicken dishes were too dry and tough, maybe they had been refried or was left out for too long. Was ok for a one off experience.
V. C.
Average food, never hot enough, good number of choices though, drink refills good value. V. Busy for a Wed evening, they sat us in a really awkward space, which just felt like they were trying to cram as much money as possible into the restaurant. Felt sorry for staff, didn't seem nearly enough waiting staff for the number and turnaround of covers
O.
Not bad. Ice cream not good - it's supermarket quality ice cream you can get from tesco. Food very salty if you like that. There's Chinese,Indian, Italian and British food, so a good but exhaustive spread. Tends to have a lot of kids, as does any family friendly place, so expect noise. Overall not bad but wouldn't recommend it
A. S.
The best value for money possible! Ample space with a magnificent environment, a great level of decoration and very engaging, friendly and competent staff. I loved the huge variety of food and the surprising quality, well above the average, so... I'm returning soon, that's for sure!
J. W.
Booked for 6pm, arrived around 5:30pm, got our table for two shortly after 6pm. Always a crowded foyer, it could be designed better but perhaps it's done on purpose to create a sense of popularity. Table was in a good location. Ordered refilable drinks. We'd started on our first plate before the glasses appeared. No big deal though. Food was fresh and of good quality. Noticed lots of table space which puzzled me, seems to be a throughput issue. Place seemed a little bit grubier than my last visit a year ago. Staff were friendly. If you have parked in the underground car park don't forget to get your 25% off card when you pay. If, like me, you used contactless you'll need to get the car park attendant to process it for you. Give me a like if you found this helpful.
m. b.
Great food, limited sweets but great staff
M.
Recommended if your going for lunch because the price are really attractive. The food isn't bad but nothing exceptional. Great choice but quality may vary. For the diner you shouldn't go because it's almost the double in price and you can eat better for the same money.
A. D.
We just love cosmo. Something for everyone. All the oriental food is fantastic, as is the European food. My husband really enjoys the sushi and live cooking station. Well worth the price, and if you get soft drinks, they are bottomless glasses.
R. A.
Very busy and the staff didn't really know what they were doing when seating us. We also had to ask 3 times for glasses for our children. However the food was lovely as always.
G. M.
Huge variety but somewhat lacking in gastronomy. Basically an all you can eat set up with countless warming dishes containing many regional varieties from which you help yourself. To be fair it's not bad but light years from fine dining and you can certainly make a pig of yourself 😊.
A word of caution though, if you are in the Victoria Square underground car park be prepared for a considerable addition to your costs.
M.
So much choice and variety. Table service, fast service also. You may a fair bit but then you get to eat until your button bursts. Drinks cost additional money but I'd definitely go again....on a emptier stomach. It's a worthy challenge none the less.
B. G.
An all you can eat buffet with something for everyone. Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mexican and Japanese with every side dish you can imagine. We went for a work lunch and I ate my way around the world then fell asleep at my desk. Prices vary on weekends and meal times but 8.50 without a drink was a pricey lunch and the seats were so close together that I could hear the guy at the next tables thoughts. So a mixed experience for me
J. B.
For a buffet, I think the price is a little high, but there is a large variety of dishes to choose from. Although the cuisines are from around the world, the selections lean heavily toward Asian. The salad bar is weak, but that seems par for the course here in Ireland.
If you cannot make up your mind, it is well worth a stop.
T. H. (.
It's got a bit better, though the pretending that it's always full bs just needs to stop. Fine, play that game when you're new but it's been here a while. Enough is enough. Wait staff need to keep their interpersonal drama to themselves, it's weird to see them go off on one another despite how subtle you think you're being in the middle of the floor... Also watch the bar staff as they just assume you don't want change..
R. J.
I have been to Cosmo just the one, and really enjoyed the lunch we had at great value. Many people may not like the long wait at peak times.
For value over all we would definitely go back, but trying to avoid the peak hours.
F. D.
Lovely variety of cultural food. Sadly many of the dishes were empty however the place was very busy. Wasn't impressed when we purchased a bottle of wine and the waitress was oblivious of how to cork or serve it. Was basically just thrown at us. Food we had was delicious
s. p.
Wonderful place and very good food
I. F.
Coming from an American this place is amazing! This is an upscale buffet that provides many foods from many cultures and it's very high quality. If I ever find myself back in Northern Ireland I will definitely be stopping by!
A. D.
Great chain of restaurants, Belfast however is the smallest I've been to. Squid is made very different here than in other Cosmo (Edinburgh, Manchester, London), not as good. Less options than other locations. All in all a good choice, for sure you'll find something good to eat.
V.
Pratik Bhor was wonderful in his servicing, it was feel like home environment. Thanks for making our evening special
L. M.
Great selection of food available and the queues waiting to get in are testament to this desert were appealing small but yummy loads of Chinese food and squid pork sirloin prawns on offer at Japanese section but only 2 dishes per person refillable soft drinks great didnt try the English section roast beef potatoes veg gravy as it looked a bit tired but we did go after 7pm would go back toilets very clean too.
N. O. B.
Love this restaurant. Fantastic value for money with all you can eat. Loads of selection, and all food is fresh and tasty. Plenty live cooking stations in there. Great dessert buffett too. Free refills on minerals which is fantastic. Always leave satisfied.
J. M.
Food quite nice. Plenty to choose from. Food well stocked up. Very clean. Would highly recommend. Only reason for losing 1 star is because the weekend price of the buffet is practically doubled compared to the weekday prices.
A. P.
I thought it was excellent value for money and the staff were friendly,thought the pizza could of been better!
A. O.
The reason for this mediocre review is as follows: A lot the bread was stale and the ice cream tasted like margarine. Unfortunately, one of the people with us got sick. However the seafood ( excluding the mussels ) was very good, and it was topped of with a dazzling chocolate fountain and a large choice for what to go under it. Stick to the Chinese food at its ok.
A. T.
Good selection of hot food, staff very friendly and attentive. Very small selection of desserts on this visit, 2 gateaux, 2 flavours of ice cream (tubs) and some fruit/jelly/mini eclairs. Less hot food than usual but what was on offer was very tasty.
C. M.
Visited cosmos today and was greated by a lovely man named Nitant he was very helpful and made us feel very welcome, the food was also really great!!
A. S.
Bit overpriced if take drinks for normal eaters like us, who can't eat more than 2 plates but good choice of food and nice interior. Expensive parking is upsetting.
D. S.
Nice place, loved the selection although there were a few sections that have very little, indian mainly. Some of the food was a bit over cooked or slightly cold but that's expected really.
J. J.
I like the variety of food here. There's only one thing that puts me off coming here and that's customers with no dining etiquette. Yes it's a buffet but that doesn't mean you can lift food with your fingers and stand at the buffet picking food off your plate while you decipher what else to put on your plate! If you are the kind of person who does this then please eat at home. This isn't any fault of the restaurant but sadly the customers let the place down, as well as themselves for acting like pigs
O. D.
Nitant gave us amazing customer experience, he was the most friendly waiter around.
M. A.
Visited on Friday with my husband. We had booked a table prior to our visit. It was our first time and we were amazed by the quantity of the dishes. Asian, italian, indian kitchen, vegetarian dishes, prawns, potato waffles etc. I tried different dishes from pizza to indian chicken and I enjoyed all. The desserts were also very good. Will definitely visit again!
J. O.
Went last night for the first time. Rang ahead to book a table but was told to just walk in around 9pm. I was also told that it would be open to 11pm and last orders were at 10.15pm. This turned out to be wrong. They close at 10.30pm and last orders were at 10pm to promptly finish at 10.15pm.
The service left much to be desired. Our waiter didn't seen very friendly or courteous. He wandered off while we looked at the drinks menu. Was gone for 10mins and we could see him stood at the other side of the seating area, playing on his phone.
The first waiter also said it was £14.99 per person because it was their Halloween prices. But on their Halloween poster it says Thursday dinner £13.99 pp. How many times was that mistake made last night?
We ordered our bottomless drinks and he said he would return with the glasses. It took a further 10-12 mins for another waiter to bring glasses.
Food was lukewarm and shoukd have had covers to keep the heat in. A lot of stuff was just scraps that were left. At 10pm we were told about the last orders, so rushed to get more food. The staff were already clearing the food trays away!
Poor service overall. Not sure if we would try again.
J. C.
Lovely restaurant very big plenty of dishes to choose from plenty of seating worth the money not really expensive either plenty of staff about
S. T.
Fantastic selection of great food, just be sure to book a table in advance (you have to phone in before 1 pm I believe), otherwise your in for a bit of a wait. Great night out, keep it up guys! 👍
R. E.
Dinner service here was good, decent food and the chief station is honestly amazing. However the lunch service is extremely sub par and still charged the same price for it. Would recommend for dinner, not lunch
M. S.
The choice of food is brilliant everything from Chinese to roast dinner to sushi. Although theres nothing wonderful or special about the flavours it's a great place to take a group of friends or family so that everyone can choose their cuisine.
L.
Fantastic place when you are starving. The food is better than usual buffet food and they have a huge selection including a roast dinner and live cooking station. Plus you get 25% off Victoria Square car park (which we all know can be more expensive than the meal) if you hand your ticket over when paying.
H. S.
Good selection of food but don't go too near closing time or little left. We had to wait an hour to get a table then felt disappointed in available food.
T. K.
Love it!! The quantity and quality of different foods on offer is fantastic, from all around the world. If u come out hungry it's your own fault. Very cheap as well.
J. W.
Not what I expected the staff very friendly food wasn’t just a slight let down overall ok
C. J.
Ratik took care of us tonight and he was awesome, deserves a raise 😄😄 would come again!
D. S.
I enjoyed every bit of the very wide range of food items on offer. My only slight criticism would be the service was slow and sporadic. Being fair though, Cosmo was extremely busy while I was there.
J. B. P. (.
More food than you will be able to fit in. Always a good spot to eat when in Belfast. Would recommend it to anyone who loves food and plenty of it. Staff very friendly and helpful.
W. O.
Amazing food choice, not all hot though, just warm. Live cooking as well which was nice to choose steak etc and watch it being prepared. Did not have to wait overly long For a table. I deducted points for 1) you can't book a table for a Sunday afternoon only for 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening on a Sunday. You just turn up and que which we did. 2) when we went to pay we were told for partys of 6 or more that a 5% service charge was applicable. I asked why this was not told to us or seen anywhere so we were aware of it. The teller told us it on the website and on a sign in front of the till. We refused to pay this as we had to ask 3 times to get glasses and dirty plates at on our table we're not cleared away. We stacked them on our table so we had room for desserts. Plates were cleared when they wanted us to go though. Although we still left a small tip on the table. 3) their signs point out that if you in cosmo you can get a card for 25% less on your parking charge. Surprise surprise they did not have any cards. Like I said to the teller don't advertise such things if you can't fulfill your promise. Not be back in a hurry I can tell you
L. V. (.
Great food service and love the wide variety of foods from around the world, however spaces for sitting in and eating is pretty cramped especially with how close the separate tables and chairs are positioned around the restaurant. I'd recommend booking at least a week in advance if you're intending to bring friends and family along to feast.
A. P. (.
Super busy place but I understand why. Waiting times to get in could be an issue but it's well worth the wait. All you can eat/drink for a good price with lots of choice and really helpful staff!
S. M.
Lots 0f choice. Live cooking station. All food is fresh. Childerens section with basic foods. The price is a bit high however u get what you pay for. I would suggest to book a table via phone or online via cosmos website other wise you may have a log wait for a table
A. C.
Brilliant place to eat. Huge variety of food from all over the world it’s great. The chicken korma is amazing. Definitely go or you will miss out
K. R.
I went with a group of 9 and be had booked beforehand, the food was amazing apart from the deserts which looked like pound land stuff and was very little of it aswel. We went to pay and had our organised £90 as was an anticipated £10 each and the bill came out to £120 as the website and staff failed to inform us of the fact that drinks came with the £10 meal and that there was a rip off and unesessary service charge as the only service we actually received was a couple of empty cups, in the end we had to use, only just received, birthday present money and shopping money which we had very little of!
C. H.
Lot's of different types of food to be eaten here, though with mass production you really don't get quality, though for a great price one can't really argue. Have been a couple of times and would go again, though stay away from the spicy chicken if you ask me, it really doesn't sit well.
R. M.
Went on a weekday dinner and weekend lunch. Dinners are really amazing, you'll feel lost like a kid in a candy shop and confused what to eat and what to leave out. Also there are live food counters who prepare what you ask for (at no extra cost).
The lunch time can be busy though, so be prepared to wait a bit. Once I had to wait an hour since it was a weekend, so the chaperone gave me free drinks on the house :)
S. M. N.
Decent, went around 8.30pm and alot if the food was dry and old at that point. But overall it was ok
S. O.
You know what you're going to get here, varied choices. Customers are not cordon Bleu aristocats but 'head down, arse up' bonviveurs. I returned on the 28th May as requested by my daughter for her birthday. In all honesty, the food was significantly poorer in quality and choice available. The dumplings and sushi was very limited in choice to previous visits, portion control namely in desert areas was also deminuative. The main course were heavily laden with salt and msg leading my table of five stating never to return again. At £15 per head, very overpriced for the quality, I suspect by the patrons that dominate the environment that quantity is the rule of the game here!
j. k.
amazing service. great food and exceptional help and service before going in from nitant
M. H.
Didn't book and had to wait an hour but it was well worth the wait. Food was lovely and the counters were regularly eaned down. The food was checked for the correct heat twice while we were there. Will definitely be back but will book next time.
j. a.
Love the varied selection of food however when we asked for glasses for our drinks we had to ask twice which is a shame but despite that loved the experience, environment as well as the staff being extremely friendly. Would come back again. Well worth the price paid for the lunch tine buffet.
B. B.
Good selection of food with asian or european choices, but most of it is a bit pre-pre-pared rather than freshly made in house. There is a section with meat on a spit or bbq and an area where you can chose your veg etc for cooking in front of you. Its an ok place for a family or a large group as everyone will get to eat something they like and it also gives an opportunity to try something you may not have tasted before. Its definately not a place to go if you want a quiet romantic meal.
P. F.
Went here for a birthday treat. They don't take bookings for under 6 during their lunch time buffet but we only had a five minute wait for our table. The buffet saviour section was ok but not hot enough
T. J. O.
Good place to go if you are hungry and about the Victoria centre. It's on the top floor beside other restaurants but its the place i go to if in the Victoria centre, Buffet style service of many types of food & you can help your self to seconds and 3rds if needed. Chinese, Italian, Mexican, Pizza's, are among so of the food on offer. Well priced and the lay out is good. I'd use Cosmo's about 3 or 4 times a year and always the same high standard.
A. J.
Cosmos, an amazing restaurant. Italian, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and more cooked live to watch and supplied on demand to refill your plate, again and again and again. The food is outstanding and incomparable in variety from muscles in creamy white wine sauce sweet and sour to chocolate cake and ice cream, and like the drinks it is bottomless. The staff and service was, the majority, exceptional guiding you through the process with a smile, however one member of staff seemed to forget how to smile or even to say thank you when I stood aside to allow her to pass before me in actually more than one occasion. However on the whole the experience was extraordinary, the quality of the food and the revolutionary international and live all you can eat style buffet was fantastic and at only £8 each lunch and £13 dinner the only reason for not attending would be insanity. However due to its popularity a 24hr advance booking will save you a lot of time.
S. S.
One of the good restaurants in the vicinity that offers a wide range of eateries mostly because it has a buffet system. Also, probably the best place to dine in whether you are small in number or large.
However, It's hard to believe the authenticity of the cuisines when I being an Indian didn't approve their offerings in the Indian section as Indian cuisine. Samosa they sell is not at all an Indian Samosa. Chana masala and Aloo Jeera looks way too different and taste different. Please understand that Not every vegetable dish has gravy in it. Naan is so over rated here - it is also neither a staple food nor it is healthy - people eat Paratha or Chapati instead.
Japanese, Italian and Mexican food options are palatable. The Fried food and salad options are tempting too.
In the dessert menu, Eclairs are my favourite among 10+ options. Don't forget to collect the chocolate syrup from the fountain and dip your marshmallows in it.
B. S.
This restaurant is leading the way in evolving Belfast. It has an amazing variety of foods to choose and I think I've tried about half so far. Nice presentation, friendly staff and a good environment for entertaining friends and family.
N. G.
Good feed, lack of 'Indian ' type food. The steak and squid cooked on hot plate was fab and desserts very good.
Ps spicy chips and Chinese fried vegetables were delicious.
S. T.
Despite poor service from the start I can't stop wanting to come back... Food is amazing, with huge variety and price is very good...
But seriously sort out your customer service... Especially the people on the door... You are not the gatekeepers of food... Just tell us a time to wait
K. F.
Great range of food, well cooked and attentive staff

Brillian selection of food and it's all beautiful. Been twice in as many months for family birthday dinners. Unbeatable value for money. A* Service from all the staff, they are a credit to the company they work for.

If you like top quality Street food you will love this place. They have ALL YOU CAN EAT EVERYTHING !!Pizza,Thai,Chinese, Indian,Sushi, and a whole range of special fresh cooked dishes cooked in front of you by excellent Chef`s. Leave a plate empty and it will be cleared away from you before you can say 雞蛋炒飯. Lol
They also have a superb sweet selection including a chocolate fountain and pick an mix. I think even the most fussy eating children will be impressed with this selection.
I couldn't fault the quality of food or the Decor, everything was kept so spotless and clean. We will be back !!!
D. S.
Great restaurant. Been here a few times and never been disappointed. It's great that you can try alot of different types of food all at the one place my kids love it to.
J. W.
Good choice of food but not really to my liking. Worth trying, but for me personally i wouldnt be returning. Sometimes too much choice can be a bad thing.
A. N.
Great selection of food. However the big tables are squished together making it hard to get up from your seat. Which is kinda important for an all-you-can-eat buffet!

Nitant is the best person working there, such a good guy and was so kind! Loved this place!
R. F.
The food was great!! Expectational service by the staff notably Nitant!
H. A.
Very nice and very cheap if you go for the lunch period, tonnes on offer, pizza, chinese, indian. You should bring your own drink though if you just want a coke or something. They only do bottomless and it's £3 a pop!
V. B.
Terrific spot. Vegan delights!! All allergens are clearly stated. Very clean. Staff were very friendly and it was great value
e. l.
Great selection for all the family, reasonably priced. Kids loved the free refills of minerals. Have been for lunch and dinner service on different occasions. More of a selection at the dinner service.
J. B.
Great place if you're as greedy as me lol. So much choice and for a all you can eat the food isn't bad quality either. Defo recomend tho can be busy.

Reception was lovely! Nitant was super welcoming, great food and waiting time super quick!
C. L.
All you can eat - Does exactly what it says on the tin!
Food selection and quailty is excellent and constantly restocked throughout the day. Chinese, Indian, American, Italian, Sushi and more they have everything!
At busy periods can be a long wait however it is worth it

Can't fault this place ,,,eat till your beat 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁...

Food was great, very fresh and cooked well (not over/under cooked). Was very busy but did not feel overly crowded. I would advise booking on a weekend, lots of people waiting for tables to open up but as we had booked, we went straight up. Staff are very polite and quick to clear empty plates away.
J. J.
Excellent choices of food all in one place with a very cheap price. Service with a smile is always good to see. Definately will keep coming back...

Hard to beat for an all you can eat set up with the range on offer. Staff are first class also! Just a bit manic at times so go when Belfast is quiet

It's my favorite place. If you're food enthusiast then you should visit Cosmo. I've tried many new things here like Sushi, prawn toast , dessert section is always catchy.

Lots of choice for meat eaters. Not so much for Vegetarians or Vegans. Enjoyed what little choice they had, and everyone else seemed to enjoy theirs. You won't go away hungry

It's good for what you get, it's a buffet so the food can be cold after peak times but it's always tasty. A bit more information on the contents of some dishes would be helpful though.

Total cattle market. Food was ok, staff were disinterested. Were finished eating by the time we got our glasses for our self serve drink after asking 3 times. Had to ask the manager in the end. Won't be back
D. C.
Look this place is about quantity not quality, still the food is of a higher standard than you would expect. Best time to go is off peak but you will leave with a full belly and a big smile
Á. A. S.
Welcoming your guests on arrival is essential, a smile is important. I understand that it was busy, but if you make people feel they are not welcomed they won't probably be back.

Most of the time they have a nice range of dishes to try for lunch and the food is quite good and staff are friendly but they make no secret they keep better dishes for evening service which costs more.
S. Q.
It's really easy to bash an all you can eat buffet, but honestly it's just the best in Belfast hands down and the guys work really hard there, it's good food and life is good. ❤😎

In my opinion its the best buffet restraunt in Belfast and it has great food and customer service, in particular the manager was very helpful when I had an issue with seating. For the best food it's better to go for the dinner menu rather than the lunch menu.

We went there during a family holiday and having visited other Cosmo restaurants in Scotland. Unfortunately we did not enjoyed as much as we have done in the past. The selection of dishes was not as good and assorted as other times (even for lunch sitting) and the staff was not as welcoming as in, for example, Edinburgh. We also felt that the place was crammed with tables, with very little space between them.

Good variety of food and nice!
Just don't get the waiting part to get in when they just open the doors and the restaurant is completely empty!!!

Have been to cosmos on numerous occasions and have always enjoyed the food..but today me my husband and my 11 year old daughter went and they charged her full price the same as an adult which I don't think is fair just because she is taller than the average 11 year old...you can't expect a child to eat as much as an adult and this is going to put people of going because it's too costly if you have to start paying full price for children...I certainly won't be back again...
H. J. S.
A variety of food option available! Had been there during the busy hour. Fortunately booked a seat before going. Location is very easy to find, on the top floor of the shopping centre.

Friendly Exceptional Nitant made us feel welcome, also nice and food
T. P.
Great selection of food and everything was well cooked and tasty. The waiter needs to stop mumbling tho, we couldn't understand a word he said
D. A.
Ok for a standard feed, staff who could speak english were generally helpful, staff who couldnt werent, we were a party of 9 staff tried to charge full adult price (£16 each) for 2 small children until we queried it.
S. D.
Always busy very popular place. Great food but for more variety, I'd recommend the evening time for dinner as they have tapanyaki and delicious desserts!
k. s.
I had an exceptional customer experience all thanks to Nitant. Definitely come to Cosmo.
S. D.
Lovely place lots of choices all foods of the world must say got my money's worth did not have breakfast the next morning
D. M.
You need to work it right when you go here. Small amount on a plate but go up as many times as you want. Also you MUST get teppanyaki though only if you eat meat. You can feast here for a modest price, especially if you dont drink alcohol.
M. M. M.
Good staff and variety however salted chilli chicken ran out twice whilst i visited for lunch and ice cream machine was off instead offering small servings which seems so wasteful of plastic and cardboard.
M. B.
For a all you can eat buffet which covers many different types of food... Normally something will fall short. Not at this place. Really enjoyed the food. Bravo!
C. E.
Food was good and tasted fresh (wouldn't recommend the squid and would recommend the duck also to get the most of your money go fore the duck and have as little carbs.) the staff where friendly and there was a bit of a wait as we where slightly late for our reservation but it was only 10 minutes.
G. H.
staff are friendly and helpful. not much food to choose from, but what is there is nice. if are are coming here, make sure you are really hungry to justify the cost.
R. T.
Excellent selection of food from around the world. Incredibly cheap lunchtime menu, but make sure you get there as close to opening as possible if you aren't booking ahead.
L. T.
Amazing place, staff are great and very helpfull, wide variety of foods so you are bound to love something and it's all great value.
L. C.
Nice place. Good food. Big variety of dishes.
Good service. Suitable for stag party’s, birthdays, etc. Few different kitchens to suit everyones taste.
L. W.
The variety of different foods was great and the price at lunch time of about £8 for all you can eat was good value for money. Well worth a visit.
Y. L.
It is only place where you can enjoy Asian buffet in Belfast. You can enjoy plenty of foods from many other countries at lunch time with reasonable price and at dinner time, fresh foods, such as sushi, steaks as quick order and noodles and variety of deserts are provided.
C. O.
Plenty of variety. Highly recommend the live cooking stations. However i often find that the buffet is either too cold or dried out. Avoid the breaded chicken. Desserts are a win tho
N. C.
Yeah , all you can eat but alot of the food lacked flavour, pretty bland .
P. T.
Great place, lots of choice, great good and good value 👍
L. M. A.
Really wide selection of foods with plenty of fresh hot and cold foods being regularly set out in the buffet. The music is very loud but the service was good and servers extremely helpful.
M. E.
Good food, all you can eat..... say no more.
L. k. P.
Tasty grest selection of foods
J. B.
Just be prepared for a wait almost anytime you want to go. But it is worth it, good selection of almost everything. Only £7.99 at lunch for a great buffet.
L. O.
Good value for money. Always seems to be very busy! Could offer some vegan or dairy free options in the dessert section though.
_. K.
The food is phenomenal for the price that is paid. The tastes really seem to make you travel to Asia. Also nice variety of dishes and excellent service.
M. J.
Wonderful eating experience. Loads of quality food to choose from global countries and home. The dessert section is absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend.
A. H.
Amazing variety and great tasting food! Just had a lovely meal all you can eat Chinese, Indian, European, Asian fusion ... And delicious deserts!!
N. K.

E. C.
Excellent meal. Will definitely be back.
E. L. B.
Nitant the receptionist was so lovely and welcoming!! definitely will come come again
L. F.
I hate this place, but still continue to go with large family gatherings because its the easiest and cheapest option.
You get what you pay for.
It's always busy, so they must be doing something right.
Has everything you can think of, especially Asian and Indian.
S. K.
Not the same with covid . You can't put the food on the plate yourself . Food good
J. T.
Absolutely fabulous restaurant with lovely friendly staff and a great selection of food. I will definitely be going back!
N. M.
Food good, although can be lukewarm. Atmosphere good but can be prone to overcrowding. Dishes need rotating more frequently
S. s.
Little disappointed with the food last time not enough seafood, fish vegetables. But with like meat is perfect. Great place to spend time with my kids and family.
S. M.
Great food. Fantastic choice. Always happy when I'm leaving. Friendly and well mannered staff.

We arrived at 5pm and were seated quickly, staff were helpful and friendly, the food was cold even though it was supposed to be out fresh as they only open at 5pm.
