Giggling Squid Anmeldelser 

Interesting how they are constantly hiring since a year ago, but when someone qualified applies they rejecte him. Now seeing the reviews here and glassdoor I can see why

Nice cool restaurant on a hot day for lunch. Good service and tasty food, perfect for a small family get-together. Restaurant well situated in Horsham town centre.

We always visit the restaurant in Beaconsfield. The staff are friendly and helpful. Quality food, can't fault them. They have delicious cocktails too!

I recently visited Giggling Squid and had a fantastic experience. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, with stylish décor and a welcoming feel from the moment you arrive.

The food was fresh, flavourful and beautifully presented. There was a great variety of dishes on the menu, and everything we ordered was delicious. The service was friendly, attentive and efficient throughout our visit.

Overall, Giggling Squid is a great place for a meal with family or friends, and I would happily recommend it to anyone looking for tasty Thai food in a relaxed setting.

I cannot recommend this restaurant. We experienced incredibly poor service, marked by unacceptable delays and multiple order mistakes, with some drinks never even making it to the table. To make matters worse, we had notified the team in advance that we were celebrating a birthday, but it wasn't acknowledged in the slightest, and our table placement was very poor. A major disappointment.

Nice restaurant decor wise. Whist not busy it was noisy. Probably 16 people in the restaurant Saturday lunchtime.
Staff were lovely and efficient but cost of a simple lunch outrageous. £170 for an unspectacular lunch for 5. Food was spicey as you would expect but not much of it.
My red curry chicken dish was chewy chicken and a few veg in a small tapas style dish. All other dishes were small. The rice was great but very disappointed in the ‘ special ‘ bento box style.
Sadly I will never return or recommend this west Bridgford restaurant to my friends. I do apologise for this review but really disappeared with the food.

Poor value for money . Nearly £8 for a beer. Ordered a Penang curry... nice sauce but not much chicken.. made up with an excess of peppers.

Too many other better restaurants to want to come here again. I suspect this will close down before too long. Perhsos greedy owners not offering a fair deal to customers ?

Delicious but the takeaway portions are so small. Beautiful packaging, lovely staff but the lack of chicken in the dishes was really not acceptable. To spend £75 on a takeaway for 3 and still be hungry is not on. It’s not the first time that this has happened. Won’t be ordering again.

I booked a table at the brighton restaurant with a lady called Danni, coming from a customer service background myself, I was overwhelmed with the ease of booking, no pressure to pre book (for 14 people), no deposit required and a follow up call to confirm the table booking on the morning of the booking.
On arrival we were greeted by the team and nothing was too much, the food and service were exceptional.
This is my third visit to Giggling Squid (Salisbury and Windsor) and I wish your business the very best - definitely book!!!

On visiting Leeds, we stumbled on Gig/squid and although not familiar with Thai food decided to try.
Ambiance was very pleasant, staff very attentive, food was really good and overall we enjoyed the visit. Even found the toilets to be clean and tidy. Overall a really good find - which was not expected.

I absolutely LOVE this place! Sat outside in tne sunshine in Cambridge and had the most amazing food! The restaurant is beautiful inside and the staff are so lovely! I can't believe they have got bad reviews! Totally recommend! Really great experience

No chicken bar 2 x small slivers, in the take away red thai curry . Lots of undercooked potatoes padding it out. Typical chain exploiting its delivery takeaway customers . Wont be using them again and would suggest no-one else does. There are far better Thai eateries that deserve your custom

Lovely staff and always very helpful at Bury St Edmunds branch. Love the food, eat in the restaurant and regularly also order takeaway. Everyone very friendly and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you

Henley branch takeaway - this is the forth delivery we've had in 2 years that was missing items - not th edrivers fault but the restaurant sending deliveries out. It now costs almost £50 for 2 curries and we got only 1 rice despite having been charged for 2 by Deliveroo!! Also, you are still using the cheap bad tasting beef in your curries, it tastes truly awful. It's not the first complaint. The restaraunt we've always liked, but the delivery side is falling short - low quality for excessive pricing.

Two of us visited the Giggling Squid in Shrewsbury. We were greeted so pleasantly. Didnt have to wait long for our food which was so tasty. So sorry to read the bad reviews as ours was a great experience. Staff so nice and surroundings lovely. Will def go back

The red chicken curry had exactly 3 strips of chicken amd so much sauce which tasted like it was watered down. AWFUL !! Why pull the wool over our eyes and try and cheat us. Well I won't be back !!!!

I wanted chicken satay, but was told they only serve Halal meat, which is a real shame as it's my favourite dish.

I lived and worked in Thailand for 12 years so I don’t normally go to Thai restaurants in the UK as their ability to make good Thai food is hampered by the difficulty of getting truly fresh ingredients that are the essence of the cuisine. My friend who has never tried Thai food asked me to take her for a Thai meal. With reluctance I tried your restaurant. Well you did not prove me wrong. I had a red chicken curry. The sauce was watery and weak tasted only of coconut milk, and was packed out with CARROTS with about 5 small pieces of chicken. Carrots are not a recognised ingredient of Thai curry. Please stop impersonating Thai food.

I'll start with the good things, the service was friendly and quick, the atmosphere was pleasant and relaxing, and the restaurant was spacious. I was having lunch with a friend and we both had been to Thailand and had real Thai food, and you never get it as good outside of the country so our expectations weren't too high.

However, many of the reviews here are correct that the dishes are small for the price.

I had a vegetarian Pad Thai at £15 which was a main course but wasn't too hungry so I said I'd share it with my friend and she chose 2 starters.

I think we were both surprised and disappointed when the food came. The Pad Thai was served on a plate just slightly bigger than a side plate, it was not a full sized dinner plate. The server had asked if egg was okay for me, yet I think I found only 3 tiny bits of egg and about 5 tiny pieces of tofu. There also was no flavour.

The starters were sad but beautifully presented. The crispy mushroom salad consisted of 2 small lettuce leaves about 2 to 3 inches each with a combination of mushrooms and nuts, and the veggie wonton were underwhelming with more batter on them than veggies and you got 3. Each starter was about £8.

The food was okay, not authentic Thai, not particularly good value, with small portions

Our bill was £50 with one small main, 2 starters, 2 soft drinks and 2 coffees. We actually thought we might not be able to eat it all as we expected the portions to be bigger due to the price. But I can't fault the service, but if you are looking for a good Thai, especially Pad Thai ( I've eaten hundreds over the years) then this is not the place to go. If you are hungry then expect to pay at least £30 per head excluding drinks and service charge ( that would be at least another £10)

For a chain, it was disappointing value but perhaps it reflects the rising costs businesses need to absorb due to new government taxation costs?

Brought my mum in for lunch. Very lovely atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service from waiter Amali. Food came very quick by polite and friendly food runner. Food was absolutely delicious!
