There were two waiters for a saturday night so service was incredibly slow. We waited for an hour between starter and main. During that hour we were entertained by another table vocalising (incredibly loudly!) about the appalling service and food. They all got up and walked out.
My main course eventually appeared but was totally different to how it was described on the menu, when I asked why I was told they were changing the menu on monday and I was lucky as this variation was much nicer!
Another table complained about the mains all coming out at different times and asked for a free bottle of wine.
The resturant was also chilly.
I would like to say the food made up for it but I'd be lying. When we asked for the bill they hadn't even got that right.
Gordon Ramsey would have had a field day there!!
Never again ]]> Sun, 31 Jan 2010 15:26:54 +0000 168-621 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-cosmopolitan-chelmsford-essex.html Having recently changed their menu and name to become a Turkish/Greek grill, you would hope their notoriously poor standards would have been swept away along with the incumbent menu. Unfortunately this is not the case.

The place feels like a canteen and the fact my girlfriend and I walked in at 8:30 to find only one other table occupied should have been warning enough, however I love Greek food so thought we should give them a chance.

The waiter was abysmally rude. We had to seat ourselves wait 15minutes until a menu was brought over. To which finally after a food order was taken he walked away before drinks order was made. I had to get up and walk to the bar to ask for more drinks during the meal as he had not bothered to look over once. Neither did he enquire as to how the meal was. His surly manner was very much not appreciated and the food was edible but decidedly substandard. To be honest I could have cooked it myself quite easily. The portions were far too small and the presentation was something that would have been at home in a GCSE cookery class, obtaining no more than a D grade.

Toilets were foul and there appears to be no men's toilet only a disabled one. To cap off this culinary abomination a function was being held upstairs. There is clearly no door between the upstairs room and so called restaurant downstairs, so we were treated at volume to the DJs club classics throughout, magical. Needless to say KFC stands more chance of receiving a booking from me in the future. Do not go to this place. ]]> Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:05:04 +0100 168-564 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-cosmopolitan-chelmsford-essex.html best best best!ever i know abot turkish cuisine i was always travel to london for turkish food.thanks god now I dont have to go to the london.great food great stuff good manager good head cheef they are friendly

DO NOT GO THERE IS ALL I CAN SAY ]]> Sun, 28 Jun 2009 11:01:09 +0100 168-538 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-cosmopolitan-chelmsford-essex.html I can only be honest with an account of what should have been a fun hen night!, Booked two months ago for 17 people, was underghoing a major refurbishment but would be well finished by the time we have our night! even after double checking the details and contacting the restaurant, no one informed us as to what we were about to walk into!!!!
Changed their name to the COSMO restaurant and did not inform us so spent over an hour trying to fing the place, once found OH MY GOD! looked a bit like a bad kebab house from the outside and the newspapers up at the whitewashed windows looked classy!, yes you have guessed it "Still undergoing the refurbishment" no one in the place at all, but they had put up tables upstairs just for our party.

Regrettably the place is very quiet which creates a lack of ambience. The organic fillet steak was so tasty it just melted in your mouth. I would thorughly recommend this restaurant and can't understand why it is so quite. Maybe the prices are just a little too high.

Unfortunately we ordered a birthday cake from the bakery below which is also owned, I believe, by the same people but this did not come up to standard. ]]> Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:53:32 +0100 168-316 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/chelmsford-venues/chelmsford-restaurants/the-cosmopolitan-chelmsford-essex.html We tried the A la Carte menua. We found there was a reasonable choice if a little old fashioned.The presentation was modern if a somewhat sparce, but this did not matter as the individual tastes were very good. I had the fillet of steak with a delicious although very rich mushroom/truffle sauce. I asked for medium rare and was pleased with the velvety result. My wife tried the chicken thighs with pear which she equally enjoyed. The ambience was quiet due to few people and the service was attentive, genuinely friendly, polite and informative.
As mentioned we enjoyed our evening but thought the prices were slightly too high. We would certainly recommenda this restuarant with that proviso ]]> Mon, 01 Sep 2008 20:26:49 +0100
