History

The first Cosmo restaurant opened in Eastbourne in 2003.[3] Between 2003 and June 2012 Cosmo opened in Bristol, Chatham, Coventry, Croydon, Margate, Romford, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Wolverhampton, and Swansea. A branch opened in Croydon in November 2011, and at the time was Britain's biggest restaurant, with a seating capacity of 800. In July 2012, Cosmo opened restaurants in Reading, Aberdeen and Belfast.

In 2015, Cosmo was officially voted third in the CGA Peach Brand Track Survey for "Customer Satisfaction" and 2nd for "Value for Money". In 2016, it opened restaurants in Oxford, Dublin and Southampton. Its branch in Oxford won very positive reviews. The Oxford Mail said: "Cosmo definitely has the wow factor" (June 23, 2016) while monthly glossy OX Magazine said: "There is serious fun and genuinely great food to be had" (August 2016).

The restaurant serves up more 150 dishes from around the world, including China, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Mongolia, Singapore, Vietnam, England and India.[5] Examples of dishes include sushi, sweet and sour pork, pizza, salmon fillet in black bean sauce and Chicken Korma.[6]
