About Giggling Squid - Harrogate

Giggling Squid in Harrogate is a Thai restaurant at 2 John St, about a five-minute walk from the train station. The kitchen is built around sharing, with Thai Tapas Sets at lunch that put several small dishes on the table at once. Thai curries and spicy stir fries cover the larger appetites, and a list of Thai-inspired cocktails and other drinks runs alongside the food. Tables suit groups who want to order a spread and pass plates between them. Dogs are welcome, so a four-legged companion can join the meal.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the Tia Tapas Lunch sets, described as fresh, beautifully presented and full of flavour, with a post-spa Sunday lunch named as a highlight. Close behind is the service. Several reviewers describe friendly, helpful staff, and one server comes up repeatedly for recommending dishes and the sides that paired best with them. Diners also mention well-sized portions that let them sample a range of flavours, and one calls the tastes vibrant and balanced. A wedding party describes a glass of fizz on arrival and the children's meals brought out first, and another reviewer was offered a second drink and desserts. The atmosphere is called warm and welcoming, and one reviewer calls it relaxed yet elegant. No recurring complaint appears, though one reviewer notes a Monday night with only two diners in the room. One couple, feeling full after starters, had a server speak with the chef to delay their mains for a while.

    “Great food and service. We were the only 2 people in there but it was a Monday night so everywhere was quite. Food was well cooked and super tasty.”
  • Jamie Price
    “Beautiful meal here today. Staff was very accommodating. Definitely recommend.”
  • Bradderz
    “We had the most wonderful lunch here on Sunday after spending the morning relaxing at the Turkish Baths, and it was the absolute highlight of our day! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, but what truly made our experience special was our server, Cate (with a C). She was wonderfully attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make us feel looked after—such a lovely energy to be around. The food was sensational—fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with incredible flavour (the Tia Tapas Lunch sets are out of this world). It’s the perfect spot for a post-spa treat, and we left feeling completely spoiled. Thank you so much to Cate (with an C) and the team for such a memorable lunch. My fiancé and I will definitely be back!”

    “We held our post-wedding meal at Giggling Squid Harrogate, and I was so impressed with how well we were looked after from start to finish. As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with a glass of fizz, which was such a lovely touch! The staff were absolutely fantastic throughout. They thoughtfully brought out the children's meals first, which was hugely appreciated, and from there the food just kept coming. Every dish was beautifully presented and delicious, and so many of our guests commented on how wonderful the food was. The restaurant itself is stunning and provided the perfect setting for our wedding meal. A huge thank you to everyone at Giggling Squid Harrogate for helping to make our wedding day so special. Your attention to detail and excellent service made our day even more memorable, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you again! Fern & Luke x”
