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!
Great place good prices and a lot of choice for food! great cocktails too
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!
Was really good didn't have a table book had a big group of more than 10 staff sorted me out quickly.
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.
