Took my mother here for her birthday meal. Fabulous decor, I loved the chandelier above our table. The food was delicious. Although in the seafood dish I had, I only got 2 mussels, which was disappointing but was still nice. Considering the starters and mains we ordered, the bill total was actually quite reasonable. I would definitely go back again
We booked a table however was no need as there were plenty available.nWe started off with the prawn crackers which were more akin to poppadoms than anything else then we had our mains and no dessert.nThe food was a good temperature and tasted ok.nThe wait was about average but the menu options were quite limited and the prices were very steep. However the toilets looked clean so points there.
Very spacious place with nice decor, loved the chandelier, green vegetable curry was very good, tamarind mushrooms were great choice for a shared side, also side of greens was very nice, vegan pad Thai was nice but too sweet for me. Amazing variety of drinks. Will come again.
I recently dined at Giggling Squid, hoping to enjoy a satisfying Thai meal, but unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant. From start to finish, there were significant issues with both the food quality and the service.nnFirstly, the food was a major letdown. The flavors lacked the vibrant punch Thai cuisine is known for. My Pad Thai was bland, with overcooked noodles and a suspiciously dry texture. The curry I ordered was watery and tasted like it was hastily thrown together with no attention to seasoning or balance.l, lacking the freshness and crispness I was expecting.nnOn top of the poor food quality, the service was incredibly slow. Despite the restaurant not being particularly busy, it took almost 45 minutes just to get our appetizers, and even longer for the main course. There was no sense of urgency or care in making sure customers were taken care of.nnAll in all, Giggling Squid was a disappointment. While I understand that not every dining experience can be perfect, both the food and service here missed the mark by a long shot. I won’t be returning anytime soon, and I certainly can’t recommend it to anyone looking for a quality Thai meal.
Nice atmosphere and the staff were very friendly . My Thai green curry was very nice, spicy without being over powering. The Sesame Ice Cream was fabulous! However, both the main courses and desserts appeared in dribs and drabs with side dishes arriving well after mains etc and the staff managed to give the wrong Pad Thais to people . It wasn't immediately obvious as the fillings were buried under a pile of noodles .
