As a busy mum-of-three, it is ALWAYS nice to eat out and our trip to Cosmo’s Wolverhampton restaurant was a much-anticipated family outing.

This restaurant, which is tucked away in the corner of Bentley Bridge Retail Park, offers a sleek, modern interior with ample seating.

I would recommend to try Cosmo when you're in the mood for a culinary trip around the world because if you’re like us, we wanted to try everything!

The Wolverhampton restaurant is a vibrant, family-friendly place. My kids loved it - the idea of eating as much as you want was heaven on earth for my ‘always-hungry-never-full’ offspring.

It’s particularly good if you’re eating out with a large group - because there truly is something for everyone.

The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring your table is clear and your drinks are refilled promptly. The place is also clearly popular, it was busy, but the restaurant is really spacious so it doesn’t feel cramped.

One of Cosmo's biggest selling points is its sheer variety of dishes.

The restaurant boasts a wide range of options, including Chinese, Indian, Italian and Japanese. You can sample sushi, dim sum, pizza, curries, grilled meats, and wide variety of desserts like cakes, jellies and ice cream.

I think what was most surprising for us, was that the food quality was really good for a buffet setting, with many of the dishes prepared fresh. The live cooking stations, especially the teppanyaki and stir-fry counters, offer a chance to enjoy freshly made-to-order meals.

For us, the seafood section was a highlight, offering a range of shellfish and fish dishes. A point to note is that the food is constantly replenished.

This branch has been going in Wolverhampton for 14 years - so they are clearly doing something right.

For the price, Cosmo offers decent value for money, especially considering the variety.

Lunchtime tends to be more affordable than dinner, and the prices can fluctuate depending on the day of the week.

The prices vary, you can see more about this here.

So would we return to Cosmo?

The answer is YES. Cosmo doesn’t disappoint. The price is fair, the food is good and the setting is relaxed and inviting.

The atmosphere is upbeat, and while the quality may not always be top-tier for every single dish, the extensive variety more than makes up for it.

As a family-of-five, that has a few fussy eaters in the mix, this is a great destination for us because when you leave everyone is happy - and full!
