5 /5 Sara I: I felt like I won the lottery when I managed to secure a table at an anime eat along night!! Tonight was that night, and the good folks at Kilig lived up to and beyond my expectations for this kind of experience - something not being offered anywhere else, as far as I know, but something thats been long yearned after by fans of the anime medium.
The care with which these nights are designed and presented speaks to an inspiring passion of the chefs and those planning the drinks and food items. Each menu item is perfectly timed and very fresh. Its even beautifully presented even though the room is dark! (Thank goodness for my night mode camera making these images look like theyre in a fully lit room!)
For me personally, Deptford isnt an incredibly easy part of London to get to. But it was worth all the trains and changes to take part in the anime eat along. The restaurant is just outside of Deptford station, down the stairs and under the rails. It is accessible and so are the toilets.
Im sure if this event is done to this standard, their normal hours will be just as delicious and exciting.
Happy third birthday to Kilig!
Edit: Ive now been back two more times - to Howls Moving Castle and Spirited Away! In my opinion, Kikis remains the best, Spirited Away a close second, and Howls third. Every night is such a great experience.
Its practically a necessity to be following their Instagram page to catch these tickets as they go live so I strongly recommend doing that if youre interested in attending.
