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
