Overall satisfied experience in this buffet restaurant. You can find many choices of world cuisine, including Chinese, Indian and Japanese etc. They also provided choices of desserts like cheesecake, ice cream, and even fresh fruit. Most of them are tasty but some are salty as well. The issue that I found while eating there was that the floor wasn't that clean in part of the dining area.
First and Last Visit – Disappointing Experience at COSMO Romford I visited COSMO Romford for the first time to celebrate a friend’s birthday—and it will definitely be my last. We had a 6:00 PM booking and arrived 10 minutes early. The man at the front (who turned out to be the manager) told us that if we went in and sat down, our 90-minute dining time would start immediately, even though the rest of our party hadn’t arrived yet. Fair enough—we chose to wait. He said he’d hold the table for 10 minutes. When the rest of our group showed up, he repeated the same “rules” in a very robotic, army-camp tone: you pay, then your 90 minutes begin. No warmth, no flexibility—just rules barked at us. On top of that, we were met with dismissive expressions from staff, including the manager. It felt like we were being rushed through a conveyor belt, not celebrating a birthday. After paying and hurrying to the food counters, we were warned at 7:10 PM that our time was nearly up. We were in the middle of secretly trying to bring out a birthday cake for a surprise, and staff interrupted us again at 7:22 PM—this time practically pushing us to leave. When we tried to explain the situation, the staff member ruined the surprise by pressing for answers instead of simply communicating with his colleagues. Another issue: check your receipt. We sat and paid at 6:17 PM, which should’ve given us until about 7:45 PM. But my receipt said 6:01 PM—meaning they shaved 15 minutes off our time. Feels like a scam. As for the food: The grill and Asian selections were good The carvery meats looked dry and unappetising Some sides like potatoes were undercooked Desserts were the highlight Overall, food was okay, but the service and experience? Completely ruined the evening. For a restaurant that wasn’t even that busy, the lack of hospitality was shocking. I wouldn’t recommend COSMO Romford—especially for a special occasion as you won't have a nice catch up with people.
Had a birthday party here, they are very organised! Can't fault anything. Staff were exceptional. And my step daughter got her meal free as it was her birthday 🎂 🥳 we didnt know that either so was an extra little lift for the day. The whole family was happy and catered for. We had a lovely time and wasnt rushed out at the end even though we made a little mess with all the cake. Would highly recommend for large bookings.
I had the pleasure of dining at cosmo, and it was truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of cozy and elegant. The staff were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu they made us feel genuinely welcome. Excellent service like this really makes a difference. Thank you, Mirza for making our visit so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be asking for you next time we come in!
I had my first visit to this buffet and it was absolutely brilliant! Everything was fresh and tasty – from the aromatic duck to the sweet & sour chicken, each dish was spot on. The atmosphere was great and the service was top-notch. I can't wait to come back this week and make it my regular spot! Just a quick suggestion, it would be fab to have some bread rolls on the menu.
