Randomly spotted this place when I stayed a couple of doors down at the Ibis. Had to try it. Delicious food, plenty of it! Well organised considering the place was packed out. Just don't make the mistake I did and overdo it on the puddings! I ate so much I could not get comfy even hours later! 🤦

A wide selection of food. With this price, can’t expect really high quality. Overall a happy meal for us.

The food that I chose was good. There's a great choice of food from all over the world, for all tastes, or lack of tastes. It's not fine dining but the food tastes good and you're definitely not going to leave hungry. It was interesting following a robot towards our table. Friendly welcoming staff.

The best in Reading. Variety of foods for an affordable price. But it's busy, reservation recommended.

REVIEW UPDATED FOR 2023 Still an incredibly positive experience! Myself and my partner went again recently (26/8/2023) and again had a wonderful time. My thoughts are still much the same as below - wonderful service, attentive hosts, great food and a lovely atmosphere. It is always packed when we come in, which is a testament to how fantastic it is! Definitely recommend if you are looking for an exciting dining experience. Original review - visit 6/11/2022 Myself and my partner came to COSMO on the off chance on Sunday. We had to wait a little to be seated, but that was okay as we hadn't booked and the restaurant was very busy! When it came time to be seated, we were taken to our seat than none other than a robot - a very smart Spark EPoS 'Kettybot'. I had to laugh as I accidentally got in its way, and it told me to "get out of the way". Cute! I was also absolutely smitten with another robotic member of staff - another Spark EPoS bot, this one shaped slightly like a kitty cat! (Called a 'Bellabot') A male server immediately tended to us and asked us what we'd like to drink. He was lovely. We then went to get some food, and my... what choice! There were more things to choose from than I could shake a stick at. All of the food I had was delicious and flavourful - I'll have to admit, even the things I didn't like so much (just personal preference) were very flavoursome. As for the food areas; everything was wonderfully clean and allergens clearly signposted. Food was clearly labelled, and again, there was so much choice! The staff could be seen throughout the restaurant, tidying, cleaning spills immediately, tending to guests, and clearing plates away. I saw servers laughing and conversing with guests as they collected things from tables - it's lovely to see happy staff chatting with people. I was really impressed with the range of desserts too, and hey - there's a chocolate fountain! Overall, it was a great experience and we will definitely be coming again. Thank you to all of the staff of COSMO, human and otherwise, for a wonderful visit!

Me and my partner go often, at least once a month or sometimes even twice a week! 🐷 The food is always good, sometimes stock is low towards closing time but that’s to be expected. Staff are always friendly and helpful, place is always clean too!

It's such a lovely place. Just a walking distance from the oracle car park and shopping centre. Friendly staff and fast service. There are so many food choices. They have sushi 🍣 sections, Chinese food, Indian food, pizza, chips, etc. Selection of dessert 🍨 cakes, fruits, ice cream available. I will definitely go for more as I couldn't try half the food.

The only eat all you can I can enjoy. Lots of food selections from different cuisine (Indian, Chinese, Japanese - forgive me if I forgot the other cuisines), but I do hope they add more cuisine to make it more diverse. They also discount for birthdays and nhs staff as well. Make sure to book your table if you want to eat here and inform them that it is your birthday on that day to ensure a discount 😅 all in all, great place! You can also enjoy variety of desserts. You also need to pay extra for the bottomless drinks if you want one. 🙂 food wise, it’s good! 👍🏻 I am not a massive eater, so forgive me if I have small portions of meals on my plate. 😂 other photos are from my friends.

Yes , we were all excited to go to this place, we had a family group of 15 people. For which we did booking online n reserved a slot in the first batch in afternoon at 12 pm. Since it was my first time I really love the place , the food n the atmosphere there was amazing. The opening time is at 12 noon . You can book any time after that. Food was lovely & very very tasty.. I tasted all the dishes. & They were amazing . I satisfied myself with all the dishes I was longing to eat. There were chip's , there were different type of noodles , Rice , sushi, sea food , (pork ,chicken, beef dishes) there wer vegetarian dishes, there was a section of India dishes, there wer steamed buns, fruits ,dessert , ice- creams, etc all was too good 👍. There was a separate menu for drinks which needed to be paid separately as per your choice .. We adults had Pinacolada for ladies , men choose beer . Kids had drinks. There r toilet inside the place . It's a perfect for family outing , you can eat alot .. as much as you want but only with in one & half hour. . All the staff there are very kind & friendly . I really look forward to visit it again .

When I heard about this place, I was quite skeptical, especially after some bad memories with some very low quality buffets in the past. But seeing pictures and reading reviews I thought I’ll give it a go and how happy I am that I did! The place is much bigger than I expected and they serve foods from different parts of the world. It’s the first buffet where I really couldn’t try all their dishes, and I am known for being able to eat a lot! The food was actually not the questionable quality you usually get in buffets and most of the times too sweet, but actually very tasty, with some dishes that really stood up for me for the right reasons (the lamb rogan rosh, the green Thai curry, the noodles). I was also pleasantly surprised by the deserts, a good variety of very tasty cakes, not overly sweet, a soft ice cream machine and a chocolate fountain. The only dishes which I think need some work are the Mexican ones. Other than that, it was an overall nice experience (kudos to the waiters as well, very polite and helpful) I’m looking forward to go there again!

Apart from the desserts the food is lovely here. An amazing selection that always tastes delicious. The desserts aren't particularly good though, pretty bland and cheap. Well worth going though, excellent value as well.

My son and i have been going to Cosmo for years and over time and ironically since the onset of Covid and everything that went with that, Cosmo really came out on top of their game. Week after week and no matter the time of day they deliver probably the best all you can eat dining experience bar none. We have tried the competition and there is a lot of horrendous restaurants that simply cannot compete and still charge the same or more for a worse experience all round. This is not the place for name dropping but we will leave it there for now. My son and i know good from bad and also know that Cosmo is excellent, period! We have obviously become regulars and we have a good repartee with many of the really friendly staff within. Ingrid at front of house, in particular is extremely professional and excellent at her job and will always go the extra mile to make sure your dining experience is as good as it can be. A family friendly restaurant that caters for every taste and we often bump into people who have tried the rest and never the best, but all agree on one thing, Cosmo is the best out there bar none ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Absolutely amazing. The food was the real protagonist and my taste buds were so happy! A lot of choices, different foods for every taste. The fish was absolutely a delight. Not a fan of buffet style, but the food was worth the effort. The atmosphere was a bit ruined by kids running around and unsupervised while picking up the food. Overall a very big gem on the high street.

Good place!! The teppanyaki counter. They also have a soft race counter. But the thing that got my attention the most was the ice cream machine and chocolate fountain!!

Cosmo is an excellent place for those who love to explore world dishes, with a wide variety of flavors and aromas that will leave you feeling delighted. The "bottomless glass" concept is a unique feature that allows for infinite pouring of drinks, ensuring that you're able to indulge in your favorite drink without worrying about running out. Moreover, the use of robots for service also contributes to the futuristic and unique atmosphere. Overall, Cosmo restaurant is an excellent place for a dining experience that is both satisfying and memorable.

Food was great and such a huge selection wish we had a bit more time to experience it all and talk about it after but we did feel a little rushed (not by staff). Not much interaction with staff as you serve yourself and a robot takes you to the table which was very slow and kept stopping when children would stand in front to look at it, great idea but a member of staff could've achieved this in half the time. Very kid heavy place so if you just enjoy a nice quiet meal then maybe not the place for you but for my 1st time going I really enjoyed it and would like to go again.
