Restaurant · 27 guests · April 2024 · Sophy Digbeth

We had a wonderful event at Kilo Ziro as part of a work retreat, and rate our experience very highly- we'll be back! We didn't have much lead time ahead of the date (about a week!), and Jeanette worked with us to plan so we could have a buffet that met all of our group's dietary needs (shout out to the caterers also accommodated our requests and put together a nice spread). The staff were really friendly and attentive, and the space was really nice--lovely to also have the whole place to ourselves. We have only good things to say about the experience - highly recommend!

30th Birthday Party · 30 guests · October 2022 · Sophy Digbeth

Staff were amazing, very friendly and the service was brilliant. The venue space was perfect for a party my size, (around 40 people) and everyone complimented the venue saying how lovely it was! Drinks were lovely and the wine wall was a bit hit with my guests!

Only downside is the roadworks in digbeth meant that the venue was a little difficult to get to if you didn’t know the area. I don’t have a bad word to say about the venue itself though

Very poor communication

Unfortunately, it started off well, but the lack of communication when important details needed to be agreed was disappointing. This ultimately left me with only three weeks to find and secure another venue, which caused unnecessary stress.
