“ Second time I visited Giggling Squid and I’m happy with both food and service at the restaurant in Reigate. We had prawn crackers, then the street food shared starter , generous proportions and perfect for two of us, presented nicely and tasted delicious! My husband had egg fried rice with sticky chicken and both were well presented and tasted divine! I had Jasmine rice and beef red curry (although I did order sticky rice, but it didn’t matter). The rice and curry tasted well together. I’d never had Thai red or green curry, but opted for red and was worried green would be spicier, the red curry was the perfect amount of spice and the flavours in the curry were just amazing! Not too sweet with the coconut and not too much veg. The sticky chicken dipped in the red curry sauce was nice too! We were quite full after dinner but had a mini chocolate melt pudding and mini salted caramel souffle they were the perfect size, presented nicely and tasted lovely. When I made the booking I made a note it was mine and husband’s 1st wedding anniversary and the staff did a lovely presentation with the puddings to congratulate us, it was such a lovely personal touch!! Overall such a lovely experience and the food was delicious, we would definitely come again! ”
“ This is a really great place for delicious food and cocktails. They have a great selection of vegan choices on the menu so you won’t be disappointed. The massaman curry and the cashew stir fry were amazing! We had the salt and pepper mushrooms as a starter which was so good too. Highly recommend. ”
“ Excellent food and very attentive service, despite it being busy. We ordered a couple of starters to share and then both opted for a chicken massaman with sticky rice. Honestly, this curry is my absolute favourite and I highly recommend as Giggling Squid does a good version. Also, really recommend their spring rolls as they have delicious filling. Well worth a visit. ”
“ A great experience. Good food, fresh and hot, lovely waiting staff and very child accommodating and gave us a lovely window seat and kept checking on us. Overall really recommend. Parking is hit or miss outside or there is a car park around the corner! ”
