KiliG

Headline: KiliG: Filipino–Colombian fusion. Creative events. Cocktails that hit.

Restaurant Category: Casual fusion restaurant; special “anime eat-along” set menus around £62 per person; regular à la carte feels mid-range.

Menu Highlights:
– Lechon (slow-roasted pork belly) with spiced mango and coriander oil
– Colombian coffee bavette steak
– Chicken and shrimp lumpia with tangy dips
– Cocktails that stand out (Paloma and spicy marg often praised)
– Anime eat-along specials like tempura veggie platters, ramen, sandwiches, and ice cream
– Sides such as pickled cabbage and ensaladang talong (eggplant salad)
– Mango banoffee with calamansi cream

Service Highlights:
– Warm, attentive team; many diners felt truly cared for
– Family-style sharing works well for groups; lively music and inviting vibe
– Well-orchestrated “anime eat-along” nights with timed courses
– Attractive, cozy space under the arches with thoughtful touches

Notes:
– Consistency varies: steak can be melt-in-your-mouth for some, chewy/bland for others; lechon sometimes fatty or not fully crackling; aubergine underwhelmed one table; lumpia oily for another
– Some anime-night items (ramen, vegetarian alternatives, fruit soup) felt underseasoned or not to taste
– A few reports of unfriendly service during events; one severe complaint about toilet cleanliness on a particular night
– Tiny tables and an automatic 13.5% service charge noted by one diner
– Event price (~£62 pp) felt steep to some given portions/flavour balance
– Getting there can be a trek with multiple transfers for those far from SE London

Logistics:
– Right by Deptford station (down the stairs, under the rails)
– Step-free access; toilets reported as accessible
– Slight rumble from passing trains, generally minimal

Paragraphs:
Diners come to KiliG for that playful Filipino–Colombian mash-up and the drinks program that keeps getting shout-outs. Many folks talk about a warm, looked-after feeling from the team and a space that’s been put together with love. The family-style sharing format encourages ordering a spread: lechon with a bright mango note, coffee-rubbed bavette steak, and lumpia that, when it hits right, is a crowd-pleaser. Cocktails are a recurring highlight—Palomas and spicy margs are the go-tos—while sides like pickled cabbage and ensaladang talong often steal the show. The themed anime eat-along nights are a big draw, with timed courses and a fun, immersive vibe that fans say you won’t find elsewhere.

That said, diners mention some ups and downs. The steak can swing from perfectly tender to a bit chewy, and the lechon has ranged from “to die for” to too fatty or not crackly enough. On anime nights, a few dishes (like ramen or some vegetarian swaps) felt underseasoned, and not everyone loved items like a fruit soup finale. A couple of guests felt the £62 set price didn’t always match the flavour or portion pacing. Practical bits pop up too: tiny tables and an added 13.5% service charge were noted, and while the rumble of trains is minimal, it’s still under the arches.

Service is largely praised as lovely and attentive, though a few customers mention less friendly interactions during busy event nights; one reviewer also reported a serious toilet cleanliness issue on their visit. On the flip side, plenty of others describe smooth hospitality and memorable evenings. It’s easy to reach if you’re near Deptford—right by the station with step-free access—though some folks coming from farther out found the journey a bit involved. Fans call it a gem for inventive fusion and unique experiences; others wish the execution were more consistent across the board.
