My grandma and I come here often and are always welcomed with extremely friendly staff every time. The food here is also very DELICIOUS! - and the Thai Tea is a must! I want to specially thank our waitress Suphitcha for being so welcoming and kind, I hope to see her again on our next visit to talk about planning trips to Thailand! Thank you very much :-)

Gave me food poisoning so wouldn't recommend! Or just avoid prawn dishes!

Went there for a quick lunch.We were let down by the low quality of the food and the very poor service.

Food poisoning from the undercooked steak. Did complain for them to investigate but they never came back to me. Suggest avoid or ensure food is well cooked. Disappointed with the experience.

Our favourite restaurant for delicious food, attentive but unobtrusive service, and an unhurried time to catch up with friends.

The place looks nice and welcoming. The shared plate was very good. The main option a bit disappointing. One dish was not so warm and mine was misleading . I ordered the prawn and soft crub however lots of super spicy sauce with some French beans but the main ingredient were almost nothing just the battered bit. Lots of sauce but no much to eat..and way too hot. A bit disappointed. Desert were nice.

Lovely establishment with good atmosphere, service, and more importantly food.Both my starter of one bite salmon and main of king prawn pad thai were excellent. The star of the show however was the impulse order of the tamarind mushrooms with greens. This was excellent. The deep fried mushrooms were beautifully battered and fried (not tempura thankfully) and were perfectly seasoned. They were so good they have made me question my default order of crispy chilli squid the next time I go there.I am not vegetarian or pescatarian , but for this visit I eschewed my default of beef and curries for lighter plates. I was not disappointed.After the highlights of starters and mains, the deserts were disappointing. Nothing wrong with them, they just did not shine.Also points for great selection of alcohol free cocktails. Mango and chilli was great.Vegetarian options: My wife is vegetarian so its great to dine out somewhere where she does not feel like a second class citizen.

Giggling Squid offers a good menu. The favourites are well catered for here. The green curry is delicious. The staff are responsive and friendly. The team cope well with large groups. The interior is good. Definitely a good place to eat with friends.

Vegetable pad Thai was lathered in oil, and had burnt bits.Dumplings are MSG bombs.Service is good but shame the food doesn’t match up.

The food and service was excellent. We tried their sharing fisherman’s platter for a starter and I had Prawn and Soft Crab curry for main whilst my partner opted for the chicken pad curry and both were excellent.I was however surprised to see that I had been charged £1.75 for 2 glasses of tap water which slightly took the edge off our experience. We both ordered alcohol with our food and the bill for the two of us was slightly in excess of £100. I briefly considered deducting the service charge from the bill in protest at being charged for the tap water, but as our waitress had been so nice decided to let it go and said nothing.Having had a very respectful reply from The Gigglig Squid I can now see that the £1.75 charged was for a diet Coke mixer and not for water. I can only appologise for my error and again express my delight in with the excellent quality of food and service.
