  “I was a PhD student at university of Birmingham. This is my favorite restaurant since I was a student. I flew from Thailand for summer degree congregation. I met the same staff, they remembered my favorite dessert. They surprised me with the mango cake with ice cream. salt and pepper squid always the best in the UK. Mew waitress always smiles and she remembered my favorite dish. Bee (chief) always did her great cook. I love you guys, I came here alone but I am not lonely anymore. Love you and thank you so much, you made my day.”

  “Food was tasty and there were options for vegans. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the food giving advice and being right. Decor is absolutely beautiful. Toilets are way upstairs so if you struggle with stairs just be mindful. Lovely restaurant would visit again”

  “A Fantastic Thai Feast at Giggling Squid Harborne – with Special Thanks to Carlo! I recently visited here for lunch with two friends, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming – the perfect setting for a relaxed meal with good company. The food was nothing short of delicious. We ordered a great selection to share: · Sleeping Honey Set – crispy honey duck with chicken cashew stir fry, spring rolls, and jasmine rice · Melt In The Mouth – a rich, flavourful dish that truly lives up to its name · Streetfood-2 – a tasty Thai street food platter · Khao Mok Moo – a wonderful Thai take on biryani, with fragrant wok-fried rice and chilli pork wrapped in a lotus leaf · Pak Choi / Stem · Mango Passion · Thai Iced Coffee Every dish was packed with bold, authentic Thai flavours, and the portion sizes were generous. The Khao Mok Moo was a particular highlight – we’d never tried anything quite like it before, and it was absolutely delicious. What really made the experience exceptional, however, was Carlo. He was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain each dish clearly and enthusiastically, helping us make the right choices for our group. His passion for the food and genuine warmth made us feel truly looked after throughout the meal. It’s rare to come across service that feels so personal and sincere – Carlo is a real asset to the team! If you’re looking for authentic Thai food in a lively, friendly setting, I can’t recommend Giggling Squid Harborne enough. And if you’re lucky enough to be served by Carlo, you’re in for a real treat! We’ll definitely be back soon.”

  “Just back from a family Father's Day get-together. It was our first visit and there were 11 of us. I have to say the welcome was genuine, the restaurant is beautiful and the food delicious. Hubby and I ordered a street food sharer for 2 for starters, then he had a red thai curry with roti, while I had chicken massaman curry with jasmine rice. We ate EVERYTHING and were too full for dessert. Hubby doesn't really enjoy eating out but he is still raving about it so we will definitely be back! Thank you 🙏”

  “Giggling Squid is always a delight, but Carlos elevated the entire experience. Exceptionally warm and professional, with an impressive knowledge of the menu, his recommendations were spot on and made the meal truly memorable. Service like his turns a great dinner into a standout one. Five stars, without hesitation.”

  “Had a lovely dinner out! It was very quiet at 5:30pm but the atmosphere was very relaxed and the restaurant is decorated beautifully. We got prawn crackers to share which were perfect while we waited on our mains. I had the pad Thai which is always perfect but I tried the coconut-spiced curry and really loved this too. I would hugely recommend the iced Thai tea - such a different but delicious flavour. Will definitely be back!”
