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.
The place itself is very cute and the staff are very helpful in guiding through the menu. The food is beautifully presented and well cooked. Was a little bit pricey but still a good experience anyway
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
Loved the food. Such a great selection to choose from on the menu... that means I'll have to go back several times to try them all 😀
Nice decor and great service.
Delicious food just bursting with flavour and variety. I had the Prawn Giggling Pad Thai which was very good and filling. The cocktails were also very proffesional and not just some premix (I hope 😂)
I went here with my friend for dinner. It was busier than expected for a midweek dine in dinner. Ambience was really nice. I liked the orchids scattered around the whole place. The staff were very attentive. Food was really tasty and portion size was decent. The duck spring roll is one to order and was my favorite. The pork bun was a close second. I found the pork skewers tough and it was cold. The pink gin was watered down and I could only taste club soda. My friend had the mosquito and found it quite sweet. All in all, it's a good value for your money. I would definitely recommend this place and I would be back again.
First time trying this place and was pretty impressed. The food tasted great and the service was top notch. We went as a work meal out so there were quite a few of us, but none of us had complaints about any of the food or the time taken for it to arrive.
The only negative which isn't really their fault is you cannot park nearby. Unless you are in the city centre already it is best to take a taxi.
I always dine in giggling squid with friends every time I miss Thai food.
Food are delicious and very authentic.
Very cozy and got a nice atmosphere. Service is always fantastic 🤩
Had a lovely time at Giggling Squid - the service was impeccable. Even offered complimentary drinks & dessert given we were celebrating my birthday. Enjoyed everything that we ordered -- each dish having their own flavours and tasting amazing.
Drinks were amazing too, not watered down and well worth what you pay for. Definitely try the silky pink, or Thai Sabai.
The restaurant itself is very versatile I felt, everything from decor to music to staff, and of course food - all made up for the perfect evening.
We've tried to book on a Saturday night a few times but have been fully booked, so we knew it was going to be good!!! It was absolutely amazing...so fresh, great value for money & and can not wait to return!
Came here twice now and tried different foods both times and I intend to go through more of the menu.
Food here is amazing, not the cheapest but its worth spending that little extra if the worth is good and it is here.
It's a busy place but not enough to stop it being relaxing. I highly recommend people try here out, you won't regret it.
Great restaurant in the heart of Leicester.
Multiple dishes of Thai cuisine available. They have a list of house specials, all of them recomendable.
Spicy and non spicy versions.
Ideal place to go with friends or on a date.
Medium price.
Book a table before going as it may get full.
Lovely decoration.
Toilet is downstairs.
Love love love this place! Had friends visiting from London and was an easy choice on where to bring them. I knew they would love the resturant. Atmosphere is great, food is delicious and excellent service. That's the combination that you want! They are already saying when they next come to visit me they want to go back! Will definitely be back soon ☺️
The food is full of flavour here and the smells just make your mouth water. Friendly and attentive staff. The decor is beautiful and you feel as though you're somewhere special.
