About Giggling Squid - Horsham
Giggling Squid is a Thai restaurant at 1B East St in Horsham, set in botanical-themed interiors. The lunch Thai Tapas Sets are built around sharing dishes, so a group can put several plates in the middle of the table. The menu runs across sharing platters, starters and mains, with Thai curries and spicy stir fries among them. A list of Thai-inspired cocktails sits alongside the food. For dessert, the chocolate lava cake is available as a mini portion served with coffee.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the friendly, welcoming staff, who recommend dishes to first-timers and look after tables personally, alongside delicious food with a wide variety. One party of four ordered sharing platters, starters and mains and found all of them a delight, with fabulous flavours and great flair in the presentation. Close behind is dessert, as one reviewer paired the mini chocolate lava cake with coffee and says a full portion is next time's order. Food is described as arriving promptly and fresh, and several call prices very reasonable, though one found the meal quite pricey. The main complaint is noise. Two reviewers found the restaurant loud, including one who said a single very loud guest at a neighbouring table affected the ambience, though neither blamed the staff. Others mention staff being considerate toward a friend with allergies, and one reviewer was offered a second drink without hesitation.

“Haven't been to Gighling Squid for a while, and our experience tonight proved it had been too long. New menu looks amazing and nothing we selected did anything to dispel that impression. The four of us chose a wide variety of dishes from sharing platters, through starters to mains and all were a delight. Fabulous flavours combined with real imagination and presented with great flair. Service was brilliant and prices very reasonable for food of this quality. Only downside was a guy in a party at an adjoining table who only had one volume, VERY LOUD! Not the fault of the restaurant but did affect the ambience somewhat. All in all, great food, great service, great night out.”

“I had an amazing meal here! The food and drinks were top-notch, and the venue had such a great vibe. The service was fantastic; the team made me feel really welcome and offered me a second drink without hesitation, which was a nice touch. Honestly, I can't think of a single thing to improve—it was all perfect! I’ll definitely be back for more.”
