Giggling Squid - Leicester

The decor really makes for a calm and relaxed atmosphere when dining. The food portions are really nice and the food is very tasty, I appreciate the addition of sides made for sharing as it makes group dining even more enjoyable. I also appreciate the level of detail for making allergy friendly menus

A really nice place for Thai cuisine, though I wouldn’t brand it as super authentic. For starters, we ordered the salt and pepper squid and the giggling wings which were both amazing! The wings were coated in a delicious glaze which really enhanced the dish. The paneang curry was beautifully fragrant and paired well with the jasmine rice. The soft shell pranee prawns were also really tasty and great to share with the table. We also really enjoyed the pad kee mao, which had a smoky flavour and was cooked to perfection. The papaya salad here was disappointing however, it had an unpleasant taste which was reminiscent of raw shellfish and the spicy element was missing. Given that the other dishes were faultless, I was able to overlook this particular menu item. The cocktails/mocktails looked really interesting but the Chang beer really topped off the dining experience. Great service too.

Ambience - Chic, classy and well kept Service - friendly and accommodating wait staff, they were very understanding of our seating requirements and had great food recommendations too. Food - So, I’m from SE Asia and so I cannot find the food as good or close to what I’m used to but if I forgot that I was at a Thai restaurant and just thought of it as generic Asian style food, it was pretty delicious. I was rather disappointed with the coconut rice which I thought was a sad cop out as I was expecting nasi lemak type flavour whereas it was just rice wth some coconut milk over it? Other than that, they have great vegetarian options which is amazing. Would I visit again? Probably due to the veg options.

I went around 2.30pm on a Friday, was quite quiet. Always friendly and helpful staff, don't have to have a table booking. The food came very quickly and was very nice, we had the giggling pad thai, the vegetarian one and the chicken one. They also have this new cbd infused fizzy drink which was quite nice, all the flavour choices are quite herbal tasting, so bear that in mind! I've been here before when it was much busier and still really good service, food given quickly. I've been served by a lady called Chaya, and she was very helpful and smiley.

We had a wonderful experience here, we ordered the Bangkok sharing platter- tasty bite sized morsels. We ordered the Thai salmon bites dish as our main. We requested the dish to be spicy- when it arrived it wasn't spicy... as soon as we made a staff member aware, the rice was replaced with spicy rice which was mind blowingly good :). Overall staff were very friendly, food and drinks were fantastic too. A special thank you to Guy for being so welcoming and accommodating :)

We booked here for a pre show meal, and the service and efficiency were excellent. The staff were very welcoming, and they were more than happy to help whenever we needed. The food was outstanding, I will definitely be coming back for more. It was the best squid i have ever had, and the portion sizes are great. The drinks are fab too. I can not thank the staff enough. Loved it.
