First time having Thai food at a restaurant and it was perfect! Staff are very friendly and the food was exceptional. We we’re all very hungry from completing our run at Nuclear Races prior, so receiving reasonably-sized portions for the price was a real bonus. Every item ordered tasted brilliant and was very filling. We’ll definitely be back next year after our run!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brilliant food, great service. I really recommend this place. I eat here regularly and have never been disappointed. Thanks
Apparently, this chain uses qualified/experienced chefs rather than kitchen staff. If they do, it definitely shows. About £40 a head for a shared starter (pictured) main and a couple of beers.
Very friendly welcome at the door even though we were 4 minutes late for our booking.
Fast, Friendly, attentive service and knowledgeable staff made good recommendations.
Sharing starter was lovely for 4 folk even though it was for 3.
Nice crisp reisling wine and advice on prosecco. Take the dry one.
Nice desserts. Not a massive selection but perfect and light to end a great meal.
Thanks for a lovely evening.
We really enjoyed our evening. The food was good, the range of veggie options was appreciated by my wife, and I enjoyed the meat ones. It was quite busy, but this was nice, a good atmosphere, I could still hear our conversation, unlike someplaces. We hadn't been there for a few year, bu we're glad we did.
Great food, great venue, good price. Quick lunch at the Giggling Squid. Pork belly and sticky chicken was incredible so I'd definitely recommend that! Service was very quick. Staff are very friendly too.
Amazing food, great service. Great atmosphere. Staff are very friendly/helpful & go that bit extra for special occasions.
Will be returning to try some of the other dishes on the amazing menu.
Vegan & vegetarian menus also available
This was my first time eating at a Giggling Squid. Had a great evening, staff were very friendly, helpful and understanding with them changing our reservation time due to one of our party running late! The Squid starter was to die for! Our main courses were also good, along with the dessert. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and me and my girlfriends had a brilliant evening. Would definitely eat here again. The only negative is at the end of the evening the lady taking our payment, was a little rude, however this doesn't reflect on the rest of the staff who were brilliant. Thanks
Great restaurant, loved it. The royal squid package was great, and because I'm on a halal diet, they kindly swapped out the duck spring rolls for the salt and pepper squid - a must have. The lamb massaman curry was divine with so many flavours coming together beautifully.
The chicken and lamb are halal in the curries only.
Would recommend and would go again.
As far as Brentwood restaurants go, it was very decently priced at less than £20pp
Amazing food. Started with the sharing platter for 2. Squid beautifully cooked and not tough, chicken wings melt in the mouth and nothing greasy. Massaman Curry and Green Curry both delicious. Full of flavour and meat cooked perfectly. Came away very full, and would return again tomorrow
Fantastic Family reunion & Fantastic Food, post-pandemic, after 2 & a half years. Lovely restaurant and lovely staff ❤. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Pictures are my lovely 'virgin' cocktail in the most beautiful cut glass crystal and a lovely pot of mint tea 🍵 😋
Service is good. The entree were also good. But the main I got which was Pad kee Mao was very odd and different to your standard Pad kee Mao and was not feeling it. But overall decent place.
Cosy place, my meal was nice and strawberry cooler was delicious. Service needs some improvement, though. Waiter looked like she was rushing us to choose, we had to ask for more time. This happened 2 times - with mains and also with desert.
Amazing authentic Thai food,
Very lovely decorated restaurant
Amazing genuine staff
Food was excellent here. Every item of food was excellent. The deco was amazing and very pretty. Creating a lovely ambiance. They serve halal chicken and lamb here so we tried their Thai green curry and their chicken tapas menu. Excellent. Really enjoyed it.
Great vibe. Pretty setting. Lovely staff
I've always been a big fan of Thai food, and the giggling squid group are perfecting this cuisine for an ever growing army of fans. Each piece was perfectly cooked, and the menu options were vast. Service was slick and the decor really went with the Thai theme. Our salt n pepper squid was lightly coated with crispy batter and the squid itself was firm without being rubbery. The lamb dish was so tender and soft I could almost hear it crying. The spices and seasonings gave every dish and super boost of intense flavours and the side veg was perfectly al dente. We'd certainly go back, and have kept the lucky beer Buddha glass for good luck (as recommended by the friendly staff).
Managed to get a last minute meal as flight was very late into Stanstead.
Great service and our meals were served up with not too long a wait. But if a lifesaver as the thought of a kebab wasn't ticking any boxes.
