Giggling Squid - Kingston upon Thames - (Near Kingston upon Thames, london)

5 /5 Tim Husain: Lovely place, great ambience, friendly staff with great service. Prices are reasonable for the excellent quality and tasty food. I had the salt and pepper squid starter and for main the massaman curry and coconut rice. All delicious. Its a big restaurant, but still feels cosy. Highly recommended.

5 /5 Seyi ayodele: Absolutely loved it here! The food was full of flavour and beautifully presented, our dishes tasted freshly made. Alexis served us and was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere was relaxed yet vibrant, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. One of the best Thai dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!

4 /5 Gargi Talukder: Giggling Squid restaurants are always really cute, and every branch I’ve been to has had a lovely atmosphere. This visit was no different in terms of vibe, but the food itself was just okay—not amazing. We tried the salmon Panang curry, which didn’t really hit the spot, and the Fisherman’s Feast was good, though the crab was a bit too oily for my liking. Our order was taken incorrectly at first, so we had to wait a little longer, but they gave us prawn crackers on the house, which was a nice gesture. After that, Alexis took over serving us, and she was incredibly friendly, we even ended up chatting about Gilmore Girls. There’s parking nearby at the Rose Theatre car park, and the bill wasn’t too bad. If you work for the NHS, you can also get a discount here, which is a great perk. Overall, a pleasant experience, even if the food wasn’t the best this time.

5 /5 Sally L. Ewen: Had the best restaurant experience ever at the Kingston Giggling Squid! The food was utter perfection, every dish exploding with fragrance and flavour, and the atmosphere was just lovely. All staff were fantastic but it was our waitress Alexis who really made the evening a success. She was so attentive and helpful and polite and friendly, and was more than happy to assist when we asked for a bit of extra sauce or help understanding the menu. The best thing was that she recalled overhearing that it was our son’s birthday (we mentioned it in passing early on in the evening) and then found a way to discretely arrange for him to have a surprise birthday dessert at the end, which absolutely made his evening. Honestly, the food at a Giggling Squid will always be great, but it’s interpersonal experiences like this, where a member of staff goes above and beyond, that make the evening so incredibly happy and memorable. Thank you so much Alexis!

4 /5 Lee Anderson: The restaurant had some very very pretty areas but we were round the back in a more plain location. The food was good but both my starter and main course were a little cold. The rest of my party said there food was hot so I was just a little unlucky but I still enjoyed the food which was of a high quality. The waitress Alexis was outstanding. Her knowledge of the menu was incredible and she took delight in sharing it with us to help us choose what we wanted. She gave us the option of trying new things we normally wouldn’t have because of her ability to describe everything in full. She was attentive and had a lovely personality we warmed too. Best part of the evening.
