Has anyone been..? Good, bad, rats, maggots?
Im thinking i might go there for lunch with my son but he is really picky...

tis good for what it is - damn sight better than the buffet over at shaw ridge

I went with pretty low expectations, having visited New World a few times, and it turned out to be some of the freshest and best Anglo-Chinese food i've eaten. I thought it was quite expensive though.

I've been there a few times during the day it can be a bit busy but the foods good and its cheaper during the day so even non fat bastards like myself can get their monies worth!

Yeah it's pretty good... nuggets sausages and chips if the little'uns don't like Asian cuisine, and a glorious selection of e-numbers for pud

I fuckin hate cosmo,. Foods cold, queues are long etc. Rather eat British food

Like Spag Bol and Chicken Tikka?

Cosmo is pretty good for an eat as much as you like buffet. When I went there weren't long queues* and the food was hot.

* the noodle/grill bloke took a little while as  he's cooking fresh to order.

Nope Chicken Madras and Lasagne!

Michelle its ace, £I paid £34 for four adults for lunch and a drink each - take him

Well we went, the food was really good, hot and we tried loads between us!
Id like to try it in the evening when they're cooking stuff infront of you and the chocolate fountin is on the go :D
Brilliant for those with kids i would say as you didnt have to wait around for the food to arrive and can eat, leave at your own leasure... Eating out can be a chore with Gianlucas ADHD, but it made today a lovely day!

Snap! Although  I thought it was quite good value. Never been at lunch time though and want to see what its like at that time of day.

Sorry Gazza but that is complete bull.  I've been to Cosmo in town on a number of occasions and I've never experienced cold food, or long queues there.  The staff are always going round making sure the food is not sat there going cold, they replace the food that's been there a while.

It's not the top end oriental food, but it's by far the best buffet all you can eat oriental I've been to.

And that's from a very fussy eater.

Lunch time isn't too bad, they don't do all the cook-to-order stuff but you still get all the buffet stuff from the island thingies in the middle. Cheaper too.

I am going by the 2 times I have been there. I would have liked to enjoy it but its not my cup of tea.

Fair enough Gazzz, just seemed a little too one sided, as I really haven't heard many people slate the place like that.  Fair enough each to their own but I think "fuckin hate" is a little extreme.

I do hate it, most of my mates (or is that both of my mates ;) rave about the place. It's cheap and cheerful don't get me wrong. It just reminds me too much of a school canteen as well.

What bloody school did you go to?

Certainly not Dorcan eh!!

i went the other day £6 all you can eat at weekday dinner times is ace.

Clearly, our canteen was nothing like Cosmos. If it was I might have eaten in there in 5 years I was at Dorcan!!!

Packed lunches FTW!

back in my day you were allowed out of Dorcan at lunch time. 5 minute walk home easy.

That place over at Shaw Ridge made me ill. I vowed never to go there again, despite a pint of Guinness being only £2. I have thus far upheld my vow.

Nice to have another Dorcanite on the forum!!

In my experience the food's decent although nothing special and in plentiful supply. If you want a nice Chinese go to Connie's in Old Town, if you just want lots of food, it's fine enough.

Food at Connie's is greased up supreme. It's still a bit ace though, you get proper hot food there.

They aren't allowed out now. I think they stopped that in my last year there. With all the gates around it now it looks like a prison!

Connie's food is nice, shame the restaurant looks like an office though, not exactly the nicest setting for a meal, the decor is plain.  Prefer the Jade Garden for the all round chinese experience.

There are a few of us about on these forums!

Sorry its all about the commonwealers.

erm seconded
