COSMO All You Can Eat World Buffet Restaurant | Aberdeen in Aberdeen City

The staff in Cosmo Aberdeen are really nice but I don’t know if they have been taught to hide the loyalty cards from their guests or they are just being silly. I have been there umpteen number of times but when I heard about the loyalty cards and asked them for one , then it was given to me. I don’t understand why prices have increased as well when the number of dishes are the same. A little put off with Cosmo.

I made a reservation to celebrate my graduation day with my family and friends. I ended up getting two separate tables ,My plan of seating and having fun together with my loved ones was ruined. I won't be going back!!!

This place is quite nice, but this place sacrifices quality for quantity at times. The huge variety of food is a little intimidating at first, but, in reality, the only really delicious things they have are their dessert bar, hot wings and fries. Everything else can be described as “mid”.

Prices have vastly increased in recent years and now sit in the higher end of restaurant prices. The food, however, maintains its poor standard despite the huge increase in cost, someone that was forgivable when lunch cost £8, not £23 (excluding drinks)! Deserts are worth a special mention in being some of the poorest quality food items I have come across. Ultra-processed to the point of no longer being a food, even my children turned thier noses up at the ‘ice cream’. Note, the ‘ice cream’ ingredients did not contain milk and could best be described as a flavourless imitation mousse. Better food at cheaper prices available in every other restaurant in Union Square.

I had a great experience. Came alone to the restaurant. A young chinese waitress welcomed me so good. I wasn't sure if eating because there were only 45 minutes to closure. Food was good. But Sitong was so professionall, helpful & friendly. I would come back again because of this. Thank you!

Very friendly experience and great food !

Great experience as always at Cosmo.best mocktails and Christmas decorations are up,however icecream machine wasn’t working.

Came here for my birthday tonight cosmo used to be nice but not now think it's went down hill food was ok don't think I will be in a rush to come back

Fresh steaks and prawns are awesome

Good food, friendly service, courteous staff, nice environment 👍🏻

Really lovely food fresh selection. But didn't get my free birthday meal as advertised in emails

Amazing food, great service Lovely atmosphere.

Lots of good Asian style foods, delicious buffet, friendly staff, a good authentic taste of Asia

I have only been twice with the family, but we love it! Delicious food, friendly staff and so we'll organised.

These restaurants don’t have much atmosphere and the service is efficient though unfriendly which maybe helps in this kind of environment. We love the food though and trying lots of different items, my teenage boys enjoy a Cosmo Restaurant very much, they have big appetites. Obviously very busy, noisy, we had a little two seater edge table so we were happy enough.

Food taste,nice, but you paid and you want eat how much as you can, then a week need rest 🤣.

I got food poisoning from the Chinese mains so did my mum - won’t be going back!

Food was great we will be back soon

Best restaurant choice in Aberdeen for people of all nationalities, offering buffet service where we can select our preferred food. Good ambiance and services. The staff is very friendly. Perfect place in Aberdeen for a get-together or small celebrations.

Nice display of food. Service was polite and comfortable. Though food doesnt seem to have much varieties. However, i would recommend the lamb chops. The 3 star for atmosphere is cause i wasnt expecting the rowdiness, oops.

Nice place to have all you can eat with lots of dishes to choose from

Great value food not fancy service is quick and tables cleaned

Overall, good experience - very busy when visited - exceptionally wide range of food choices

I went here with friends today. The food was spectacular, a wide range of different food items and all were amazing You really do get your moneys worth here. The customer service was second to none. The staff were incredibly polite and very accommodating. I'd definitely come back here again and I'd recommend people to come and eat at Cosmos.

First time diner. Hot food nice desserts. Clean toilets. Friendly staff.

Eat as much as you like food. Caters all food varities.

It was brilliant the food was good the choice was amazing and the staff worked really hard

Superb food and well worthwhile, great serving staff as well.

I'm happy, especially the children, it's also a good place for a First Communion dinner, I would spend the same or more doing things at home, and here I am, not standing in the kitchen but at the table with the guests, everyone has to try the horse, she will answer, she will come back, we will come back

It feels like a canteen with too much thickener. It’s about the domestic self-service level of 60 yuan. The squid is delicious.

expensive and at best average quality. Packed to capacity, train station atmosphere, dingy buffet corners, the all-you-can-eat advantage is completely lost

Visited for my sons birthday, for was delicious and there was something for everyone. Friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Bog standard buffet only exception was the ice cream was fantastic. Went and got it twice. Tried a little of the Indian section, which was nothing home to write about. The Chinese area was decent it would have been nice if they had veg dumplings. The sushi section was poor, the wasabi was too thick. The dessert section presented nicely but the various cakes had no taste very bland. Chocolate fountain nice touch for the kids. Only the ice cream was tasty. The serving staff were polite and very nice.

If you're a vegetarian or vegan, I strongly advise avoiding this buffet restaurant. The primary focus is clearly on non-vegetarian dishes, with very limited vegetarian options. Even worse, many of the so-called "vegetarian" dishes contained ingredients like egg or mollusks, which are definitely not suitable for a pure vegetarian or vegan diet. It's clear that this place is not intended to serve a vegetarian audience. If you're looking for a buffet with a variety of plant-based options, this is not the place for you. I was disappointed and won’t be returning.

Enjoyed the food variety! Worth the penny.

Just wanted to say how much I've always enjoyed my time with family and friends at cosmos . The staff are really friendly, and it’s great value for money!

Tasty buffet. Friendly staff, They offered to cook some vegetables just for me.

The main food was as usual at its best and wonderful selection. However the desserts lack taste, and the ice cream machine remains broken, as it was over a month ago. This very disappointing, and wonder if it links to an ice cream phase out.

Was actually surprised by the quality of the food, was impressed! Nepalese lamb was lovely and the Asian section was very good. Great place if you are really hungry!!!!

Great food and price also staff are very helpful

Good food cooked at the BBQ grill area as usual. Lamb was tasty. Perfect when you drizzle chilli oil on it and add mushrooms.. Ice cream machine still broken and some of the desserts missing and not topped up

I will start by saying that the sweet and sour chicken was the most tender chicken I have ever had. The drink selection could be wider. The staff are brilliant at taking your plates as soon as you are done. All and all a good place to go for dinner.

Everyone enjoyed with food really fantastic

Food was lukewarm. There was a lack of choice. The meal was overpriced and the drinks area was filthy.

Has a good variety of food to suit anyone. Despite being in a transport hub, you don't really hear the crowds outside the doors. Staff are courteous and friendly, some are quick to clear out a table which can be off putting sometimes. Despite the price hike, the quality of certain dishes have gone down ie dimsum they offer leave much to be desired. Tepanyaki grills have less options now ie. Scallops/squid used to be on the menu but is now gone. They have a new ice cream machine which is pre-programmed where you just place the cone in and give you a small dollop of ice cream. They also have a gimmicky robot that they use, from what we've seen during our most recent visit; to bring candlelit cake to dinner parties. This is probably one of the better Cosmo's we've visited. The chef's manning the grills are always friendly, the staff who ensure that areas are clean and presentable are helpful if you have any questions.

Very tasty belly food. 22 pounds per person, at 7-9 p.m. ,Friday/Sunday.

The environment is cozy. The staff who attended to us were very warm and welcoming . They always came to ask us if we were okay or needed anything else especially with drinks since we went for the buffet option. Worth knowing that the buffet option only comes with the buttonless drink option so any other drink you order for you will have to pay separately for that. Sadly, we didn’t know this so we spent way more than we expected because we ordered more drinks 🥹. The buffet was £22 per person . Very good and tasty meals. Pasta, Noodles, Prawns, Shrimps, Lambs, Chicken, Rice, Potatoes, Fruits, Desserts, Salads and a whole lot more. The food was so good, you just know you are eating a nicely prepared meal . Didn’t get to take pictures of my food because it was too tasty and didn’t remember until I was done with my food but you guys, I took a picture of the fruits and my dessert. Closing time was about 9pm ish . Very lovely place to celebrate with your friends and family.

Lovely lunch out with a friend. Fab service, nice food and cocktails :)

A very nice place. From the first time I visited some years ago till now, Cosmos has maintained the quality and taste. Thumbs up. A true eat-all-you-can place with a lot of varieties.

The food was good overall, though it could be hotter and refilled more often. Ice cream machine wasn't working, which was really disappointing. Soda and lime drink was a rip off as it was charged as 2 separate items!

Can never get tired of eating at Cosmo. All you can eat at great price. I love the bottomless cup as I get to also drink as much as I can. It’s the perfect place to celebrate a birthday, graduation, after business dinner or a family eat out. Great for the family and a great place to visit as a tourist also. Lots of dishes from other parts of the world. The Steak and prawns is my all time favourite and the Sushi. Kids love it as they never stay too far from the chocolate fountain

Amazing food, pleasant staff, sure a good gastronomic experience. You should try, once.

I love the chocolate fountain!!!

First time here in a few years, went with my wife and son , and daughter with her Boyfriend. Service first class , decor good but sadly food cold lukewarm at best they had just opened for lunch So I would have thought everything would have been piping hot. But sadly not we waited until they refilled some of the trays but food sadly still cold. We stuck too the Chinese food as the The Indian curries were a funny colour and still cold. We had been hoping that we could use this lunch to get to know daughters boyfriend a bit better. But sadly the only topic of conversation Was about how cold the food was. I can't really judge if food was as just too cold And at £107 not the cheapest lunch I have had . Won't be back

Big buffet not much else to say. Service was good and friendly. Pricey for what you cam get.

My favourite restaurant but it's getting very expensive £57 for 2 people

This place is amazing great food a lot of variety’s all u can eat was so nicely decor fantastic

Amazing place, keep coming back. Clean, great service, happy staff and yummy food. What more could you want!

Huge selection of food across multiple countries. Buy a drink and then drink it flat rate

No Indian starters like any type of pakoras, unless you like sushi or Chinese starters not a lot on offer, very small selection for such a large place and over priced.

Every one of us was sick after eating here

This place is amazingly beautiful! I love the different types of foods here! This is possibly the best buffet I've come to, not to mention that the staff are friendly! If you love a variety of different dishes, this is the place for you!

Service amazing food poor curry’s were far to salty not enough choice also scraps in the filling up trays no fresh food was put out

Food very bland. Black bean Beef tasteless. Chicken curry watery and very Mild. Indian dishes poor also. Balti chicken tasteless. Tandoori Chicken cold and dry. Nan bread tastes of nothing. Chicken Masala very good thankfully. Steak very good. Very poor overall for the price you pay. This is the worst Cosmos I have been in. Visit only if you like bland tasteless food.

Nice job guys… will always be happy to come back

What nice plase very busy but good staff and helpful

Great food nice and clean friendly staff

One star is generous. This place is disgusting I wouldn’t recommend to my WORST ENEMY. I feel sick at the thought, prisoners have better meals than what this place charges. Everything was watery or stone solid. I expressed my opinions to the cashier woman and she said its not theirs or the chefs fault and couldnt do anything about it other than a 10% discount so me and my friend end up paying £40 for all we had one plate which we didn't even eat and 2 Drinks of refillable draft drink.

food was absoultely disgusting. Honestly dont even know if u would call it food, I feed better to my hamster. The chicken was as tough as a rock. Service was horrible aswell no one would come over to us. We only ate half a plate of chips which was half cooked stil frozen in middle. We complained and only received a 10% discount which didnt even cover our refillable drinks. Absoulutely fumimg and safe to say i will not be back ever infact i think i would rather die.

Six of us for midweek lunch. Not too crowded and great choice of dishes avaliable.

Had a lovely lunch here. The food was all hot and very tasty. Such a lot to choose from. Would recommend highly

I didn't visit people queue looks good

Some of the food is great, some is mediocre. The kids loved the sushi. The price is reasonable. Bottomless drinks were broken during our visit, bottled drinks worked out quite pricey when trying to wash down the spiciest curry known to man.

Tasty food. Easy to dine with a large group as each person goes and order and pay on their own at the cashier. You just need to remember the number on your table after you are seated.

Excellent value buffet. The range of food and drinks is impressive. I like the informal nature of the place. The staff are always pleasant and accommodating.

It is just amazing place to eat and the staff is really friendly and the price is good for the amount you can eat

Fantastic. Visited here existing on a city break with my husband. The food was great and service was good too. Would recommend

This is a franchise chain you can eat anything you want, Japanese, meat items, Indian, Sushi, customised salads 🥗 more variations in desserts. You can have all for £22.99 per person. But you have to pay for drinks. But it’s worth to visit cosmo for a once in a lifetime. We really enjoyed their service and the foods. Really tasty and fresh food. The desserts were so good. Better to reserve a table before you go there. As it’s so crowded in the evening and even in the weekdays. For parking you can park in the union square parking but have to pay for that. A must visit in Aberdeen restaurants. Really enjoyed the time with my family, they even do have tea. 🫖

As a single person about to visit Aberdeen I will be unable to dine at cosmo as they only take bookings for 2 or more people for dinner. Disgusting.

I Love Glasgow's Cosmo restaurants and frequently in them, but this imitation Was the Willy wonka Experience of restaurants, absolute imposter to the cosmo brand , food was never renewed and left to sit and dry up , Anything chicken was rock hard , 0 popular curries, and very small offering of desserts , for £27pp its very poor and will never be back.

Excellent food, wide variety of cuisine and desserts, friendly staff. A place where you want to return!!! Please stay like this!!!

Great restaurant, plenty of variety and choice at the buffet for all tastes. Very busy but lots of helpful staff when needed. Will be going again.

Lovely abundance of all types of food ,very good

A wonderful and hearty buffet restaurant

Food quality poor. 2.5 hours prior to closing, around 50% of food wasn't available. For example, mussels in black bean sauce had zero mussels and ribs were conspicuously short (none)of ribs. I'm unlikely to return

Highly recommend. Been there a plenty times))

Arrived late so food options limited.

Staff lovely and friendly and food was piping hot. Plenty to choose from. Very clean and room to move about.

Dined here today at lunch time with 2 very small babies, the buggy was an issue but we didn't expect to take it up to the table. The servers where making a scene about it. Lunch time as expected busy but trays of food where empty, we certainly didn't get ours money's worth. Very disappointed as this was recommended.

It's a fine enough place to go for food, definitely plenty of choice. I dont really eat much of anything though, but I am partial to the chocolate fountain 😀

Always a delight to be in Cosmos.

Amazing food as always, plenty of choice.

Worth the money for the food and the staff are so good with all the customers as well now and the food is amazing

Great good and great service. Warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Excellent food. Very good service. Cosy atmosphere.

Very popular so crowded and even if booked there's still a queue waiting for tables.

Very nice and friendly foods amazing

第一次吃英国自助餐，老板是HK的，好多服务的都是粤语系阿姨，60%是中餐🥢，可能很难找到食材吧，国内可能也就50块钱的水平，意难平已经习惯了。哈哈哈😆

I was late and my reservation was still intact. They have polite members of staff, excellent food and lovely views. The funds spent was worth it.

Liked food but wasn't enough after checking in at 2pm food was not being topped up so there was hardly what u call a buffet and had to pay full price
