Little COSMO | All You Can Eat World Buffet Restaurant, Newcastle — Restaurant in Newcastle upon Tyne

Was in with the whole family(4 of us no booking just rocked up) firstly can I say staff did a phenomenal job like wow this is what customer service should be(everywhere else take notes) we arrived where we were shown to a table(it was packed expected to wait nope straight sat down) and no sooner than we were sat than a staff member was there asking what we would like to drink we asked for some time to look she left and within a minute a different staff member was asking the same question about drinks again we asked for more time (there on top of the game)as soon as we had decided however we barely had to beckon and we had a staff member to take our drinks order then the best question are we paying together or separately didn't just assume (like a lot of places do) one person was paying for everything (I mean it was all going on one card but hey nice of them to ask)(also yes here you pay then you eat novel idea I could see it catching on)then we hit the main part the buffet and holy moly were we spoiled for choice like WOW! There was loads to pick from. First plate, melt in my mouth beef(I joked I could drink it, it was that melty)SnS chicken, prawns, rice and sushi already worth what one person would've payed first plate gone in minutes seconds up round two wait a teppinyaki section oh boy scallops and squid, and then everything gets hazey in a blur of food but at no point do we seem to accumulate dishes on our table as the staff are on top of everything and yes there was a lotta plates we were keeping track dad 7 me 6(but mine were more full) brother 4 and mum 4 which is amazing as she usually taps out after two most places and there usually 2 less full plates than she got here and shes a VERY picky eater so already deserves more than a 5 star review for that feet but then we get to the drinks 3.90 for "bottomless" fizzy drinks you get a half pint glass and pointed to the drinks despensers were there was a fair selection(I've seen better but then I've also seen worse) and when you consider a half a coke in most restaurants are like nearly 2 quid a glass, 2 glasses and your already up on the deal so when I'm having a 4th glass I'm WAY up on the deal. Now unfortunately onto the only grip the ice cream machine was broken however with how many people that were there when we arrived(I jokenly said there's probably a wait) it's probably been over taxed by the time we came to get our deserts oh seeking of deserts OMG the selection was awesome second stomach just for sweets and it's also full. We left so full and happy. Me and my dad will be back that's not a promise that's a warning next time we're coming hungry. So would I recommend it hell yeh 5 stars is to little to put stupid Google not letting me put my actual score of 10/5 stars. Wonderful attentive staff(plate broke three staff there in seconds, we never had dirty plates on our table for long and friendly and quick at there jobs) awesome food and selection. Thank you Little COSMO for providing us an...

Went here last night for a new year meal with some friends. It was quite simply, awful. Previously lous202, it used to have shredded duck, salt and pepper ribs, goyza and all kinds of wonderful oriental food. Little Cosmos doesn’t know what it wants to be. It’s a poor man’s Zapatista’s at best. Spaghetti, Yorkshire puddings, noodles rice. Think of all the cheap ways you can make food, they have it.

The place has had a revamp. Choice has been cut by half and they’ve snake oiled customers by jazzing up the interior with some marble tops and shiny presentation platters. Even the desserts are awful. 6 choices of sponge cake, Harrison rip offs and banana with custard!

The turnaround on replacing one or two favourites isn’t good either. I got some chilli chicken which was half decent, went back for more and it was swapped out with boiled mushrooms.

I’m bitterly disappointed. I felt like I’d have got more value going for a Macdonalds. At least you have a level of expectation. If you’re into eating bucket loads of poorly flavoured bland food, this is your place. But expect to pay over the odds for it and even if you like the spaghetti you might go back to find peas or whatever else they’ve got in the bottom of the freezer!

Personally I’d avoid. Lous202 got it spot on with quality and value for money. This place is just providing sub par quality, and stuck a couple of quid on the price for the privilege of glossy counter tops. They’ve also crammed more seats into a large place. I felt like I had to whisper conversation because I was so close to the nearing tables, god forbid someone sneezed.

I feel sorry to have to write this but in a time where every penny spent has to be considered I really feel entertainment and food venues should be making and effort to retain customers by creating an enjoyable experience. I’m this...

Update - 1st August 2025.

Very disappointed during this visit. We went at 12:30pm and seated around 12:40pm. First off they changed some of th dishes which is fair but some of the good ones were gone. Let's see. mashed potato is made from frozen mash pellets. You can still see the individual pellets merged together. The spaghetti is hard around the edges. Only the ones that had some sauce on the top remained soft. This was at 12:43pm. 13 mins after opening so maybe these are left over from night before.

Ice cream machine is broken. They had a small tub for people to scoop but it's all melted away to mush. The shredded duck looks like chicken. Same colour as chicken for sure. Prawn Crackers were not fresh. Tasted a bit stale so from night before.

The Singapore noodles was over cooked. The egg had a green tint to it.

The worst thing is the bathroom. Went to take a pee and only 1 stall was free. Went in and it had shit unflushed. Tried to flush it but flusher didn't work.

The only decent thing this visit was the same friendly staff.

Very disappointed this time.

Will consider if I ever want to try this place again.

3rd to 4th Visit to this restaurant now. Was relatively quiet for the time we arrived to eat. There was only 2-3 occupied tables at the time but did fill up a bit as time went on. Decently priced.

The food looked quite fresh with a decent selection of Indian Curry, Chinese Food, Some Grill Food, Americanised Food, Pizza, and Sushi. The Sushi was acceptable even though the pieces looked a bit flimsy and sometimes falling apart.

The dessert selection was nice, plenty of cakes, fruits and jelly. Pull down Mr Whippy Ice Cream was the best.

Overall happy with the meal and...
