This charming, women-owned restaurant offers a range of flavorful dishes that cater to both seasoned Thai food lovers and those new to the cuisine. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch or a casual dinner, Giggling Squid’s menu is sure to impress.

Start your meal with some appetizing appetizers like Prawn Crackers or Papaya Salad, which are light, refreshing, and a perfect prelude to the hearty main dishes. For a truly tantalizing experience, try the Salt & Pepper Squid or the Deep Fried Squid, both crispy and bursting with flavor. These dishes capture the essence of Thai street food, known for its balance of flavors, from spicy to savory.

When it comes to main courses, there’s something for every palate. Chicken Thai Green Curry offers the perfect blend of coconut milk, herbs, and spices, while the Chicken Pad Thai is a satisfying choice with its sweet-sour sauce and crunch of peanuts. For a more intense flavor profile, the Mild Chicken Massaman Curry with Jasmine Rice is an excellent choice, featuring rich, slightly sweet curry with tender chicken. If you’re in the mood for something a bit more indulgent, don’t miss the Crying Beef, a dish with a bit of heat that perfectly complements the savory beef. The Drunken Ribs are a favorite, with tender, flavorful meat that falls off the bone.

Giggling Squid also offers a variety of vegetarian and vegan options. The Sticky Chicken with Sticky Rice is a hit, and for those looking for a lighter option, the Som Tam, a papaya salad, brings a refreshing contrast to the rich curries and fried foods.

One of the restaurant’s highlights is its dessert menu. You won’t want to miss the Lava Cake, which melts in your mouth with a gooey center that’s both sweet and satisfying. If you're after something more fruity, the Strawberry Cooler Mocktail is a great refreshing drink to accompany your meal or dessert.

In terms of accessibility, Giggling Squid is a great choice for everyone. The restaurant has wheelchair-accessible seating, entrance, and toilet, ensuring comfort for all guests.

Had an impromptu visit to the giggling squid on Sunday. We hadn't been for a little while and after figuring out what the wife and I wanted to eat, we decided a visit to this beautiful restaurant. It is beautifully decorated inside, with lots of room. A great menu with lots of delicious dishes to choose from. A great setting for a nice romantic meal, family gathering, party. Highly recommended.

Went here today with just my friend. Upon arrival, there was a strange man with his family who didn't seem to understand there was a wait time. And instead opted for a weird intimidation tactic (which did not work) of glaring and walking slowly backwards out the restaurant without breaking eye contact or blinking. The kind 'receptionist' seated us after telling us there would be a wait. The restaurant was super busy which me and my friend didn't mind. Our food came out in good time and perfectly cooked. Our server was fantastic and a good laugh. Really really appreciated her.

Excellent customer experience. The food came so fast, the spices was on point and the ladies there was so welcoming. Would highly recommend for a quite weekday dinner or a cheeky weekend din out.

Service was excellent and all staff were engaging and all looked happy to be serving us. Food was exceptional, one of the best meals we have had for a long time. Presentation is just as important as the taste, and you will not be disappointed with either. Looked amazing and the taste was fresh and warm to the pallete. At no point were we rushed between courses or to pay the bill.

Absolutely adored our meal and experience at Giggling Squid in Salisbury. It was our wedding anniversary and they gave us a lovely glass of Prosecco each while we were waiting for our meal. The food was sensational, as always. We’ve ordered several things from the menu during the several visits we have made there and they have never disappointed. As for the service, it was superb. So friendly and professional. Thank you !
