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.

My family and I recently indulged in a delightful dining experience at Cosmo in Belfast. As we stepped inside, the vibrant atmosphere immediately caught our attention. The tantalizing aroma of various cuisines filled the air, promising an exciting culinary journey. The food variety was astounding. From sushi rolls to succulent sirloin steaks, the buffet spread catered to every palate. I couldn't resist sampling a bit of everything—the crispy duck, the fragrant curries, and the freshly made dim sum. The indian section, with its butter chicken and butter naan, transported me to the streets of kochi. Despite the crowded dining area, the service remained commendable. Our server, juggled multiple tables with grace, ensuring our glasses were never empty and our plates always replenished. Her friendly demeanor added to the overall warmth of the experience. However, the bustling ambiance did have its drawbacks. Finding a quiet corner proved challenging, especially during peak hours. But perhaps that's the price to pay for such an extensive culinary adventure. In summary, Cosmo Buffet is a good option for food enthusiasts seeking variety. It's not about Michelin stars; it's about abundance and exploration. Prices are reasonable, ranging is about £15.00 per person. If you're ready to embark on a flavor-packed journey, gather your loved ones and head to Cosmo! 😊

We made a reservation for dinner. What a terrible idea. Arrived 10 mins before our booking to find the place queued out the door to the entrance of Frankie and Benny's. Almost everyone in the queue had a booking but were still waiting 45 mins in the freezing cold to be seated. At this point all other restaurants in Victoria Square were booked out so we decided to wait. Finally got seated 50 mins after our booking was made for. But the staff were bringing in walk ins even though the booked tables hadnt been seated. Didn't make any sense. Wish I had just left. The food was bad quality. The only section that was ok was the Chinese food. The pizza, sushi, Indian etc were all horrific. The place was so busy you could barely move and we had to take our own plates to a big caddy to be taken to the kitchen as staff were so overwhelmed they didn't have time to. No knives or forks on the tables either and when we asked for then we were told to grab them ourselves. Will not be back

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.

Best restaurant ever. Lots and lots of food, and the food tasted and looked amazing. When I arrived, the place was packed full. For drinks, the menu is below (image). Service is great. Quality of food was great for the amount of food you can have. There is sushi there too, Fresh Teppanyaki made in front of you. Above each food there is a label telling you its name and whats inside it, including allergies. When you arrive there a staff member will lead you to a table and ask you for a drink then you can get picking your food but plates are hot but they put paper for you to pick the plate with. Dessert section looks VERY yummy, there's a chocolate fountain and marshmallows next to it with sticks to cover them with chocolate if you wish too. Would come again if I could. 2 things could be added, New floor(s), And more room.

HONEST VEGAN / VEGETARIAN REVIEW (written by an indian) This place has ONE vegetarian main course dish: mushroom masala. the veg pulav is the sort that you wouldn't want to feed your enemy. The red pasta is as dry as it gets. NO vegan dessert options at all. The cut fruits look canned (pale, floating in sugar syrup). The starters are cold or soggy, nothing crispy or fresh to be found. The mexican counter has ONE option: beef. The chinese counter has one vegetarian option: sauteed onions and peppers. literally just that. What an absolute waste of money. We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. beyond disappointed.
