Review: Giggling Squid

By Nadeen Jawad, fourth year dental student

If you’re wanting some Thai food, Giggling Squid located in the heart of Clifton Village is the perfect place to go!

It is a very homely restaurant with a bustling atmosphere. We went here on a Wednesday evening and despite it being mid-week it was very busy – so be sure to reserve a table! The staff were very polite, seating us very quickly upon arrival, and were very attentive for the duration of our time at the restaurant.

The menu had a very wide range of dishes, with a great selection of drinks, starters and mains.

For the starters, there was a very big list of things to choose from, which was unlike other restaurants which usually have quite a limited starter menu. The prices of starters averaged around £7 a dish. We ordered the ‘chicken satay’ and the ‘salt and pepper squid’ which were both delicious, my favourite was the squid and I would definitely recommend getting this if you go!

For the mains, there was again a large range of food and they divided the menu into the different meats and types of dishes which made it a lot easier to decide. The prices of the mains varied quite a bit, between £10-15 each. We ordered the ‘sticky chicken stir fry’ and the ‘tropical jungle curry’ which were again both very tasty!

Per person, including drinks and two courses the meal cost was around the £30 mark – so it is a bit more on the pricey side.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Giggling Squid for a delicious Thai dinner. Particularly for a treat or a special occasion!
