We booked over the phone as online it said it was fully booked. When we arrived there seemed to be a problem seating us even though there were a few tables available. We were told we’d be seated upstairs. We were shown into an empty , cold space which we refused to be seated in, the waitress was saying something about the tables downstairs were reserved. I explained I had an email confirmation of my booking. We were then seated downstairs. The head waitress came over to say we should have said if we wanted to sit downstairs when we booked. We were never given the option and how would we know there was a choice having never seen upstairs before. No apology. She just said next time you should say. The starters were very tasty, the mains extremely bland, which is quite disappointing given its a Thai restaurant. The staff were very efficient and friendly. There won’t be another visit.

Casual meal out for two in the early evening. Good choice and really tasty food that is well presented. Efficient service and when we were there the service was quite quick. Definitely would go there again.

We ordered a takeaway through deliveroo which turned up cold and with dishes missing. The restaurant couldn't have cared less and just told us to ring the deliveroo helpline. Terrible attitude, and to make it worse the overpriced food we did receive was bland and tasteless. Would never use this restaurant again.

As OAPs and it was our anniversary we tried this restaurant with a bit of not knowing what to expect. It greatly surprised us, as we both ordered meals that we had no idea what they tasted like. We were stuffed with the amount that we received, and the staff boxed up what we could not eat. As a type 1 diabetic I asked if they could give me the weight of the food so I could calculate my insulin. This they happily did. Will definitely go again.

Giggling Squid offers an authentic Thai dining experience with freshly prepared dishes and charming service from Thai staff. While some had minor issues with booking and seating, the overall quality of the food and service was praised. The menu offers a variety of tasty dishes, with highlights including the Thai melting beef and the Salt and Pepper Squid. Customers appreciated the efficient service and welcoming atmosphere, making it a great choice for a casual meal out. Despite some delivery mishaps, the restaurant received positive feedback for its customer service and willingness to accommodate special requests such as providing food weights for diabetics. The elegant decor and delicious food make Giggling Squid a must-visit for Thai cuisine enthusiasts looking for a unique dining experience in Tunbridge Wells.

This has to have the best allergy list and access I've known for a restaurant. Having a shellfish allergy and knowing a lot of Thai food has this in regular meat dishes, I have basically stopped eating Thai. Recently I was invited to a birthday dinner and fully accepted I was going for the bland option (sorry I just don't like tofu however dressed up). But the QR code with all the allergens listed was given, I went through all the filters and found, not only was there more than the bland on offer.... Thai red, green and massaman were back on the table for me. It tells you everything including the curry paste ingredients. More restaurants should offer this, instead of making you sign waivers and telling you there's basically nothing we can offer. Nice work giggling squid Tunbridge Wells

Giggling squid is a fun Thai place on calverley road, close to many other restaurants (suchera, ask italian. they serve tapas style small tellers, but for dinner they have regular.

I came here after watching dunkirk in the tunbridge wells odeon (recommended, by the way) the ambiente is beautiful, with Thai decorations, polished wood floors and chairs, overall they were with the decor in the restaurant. for the starters we ordered the starter plate for two that consisted of fish cake, their famous salt n' pfeffersquid, spring rolls and barkberry (not confused with satay this starter was actually...read more

... eating in giggling squid seemed authentic, freshly prepared with charming service from Thai personal. will they be able to keep the quality at the expansion of the group? well, only the time will say it, but at the moment they do a good job.
