Reviews
What a pretty restaurant, and delicious food as well ! My drunken noodle and prawns & basil stir fry was so yummy. My husband had duck that was just fell of its bone, and the mushroom also superb ! Will defo back again !! The only Criticism is just the egg fried rice, the rice was hard and no taste.
Another gorgeously indulgent meal out this evening, at Giggling Squid, Maidstone, where the venue is decorated beautifully with the brands usual floral theme. This restaurant is airy due to the high ceilings, and feels much bigger than the Brighton branch, although it was very quiet due to being an early mid week evening. Lovely refreshing cocktails to start - we had a Sweet Jungle Colada (coconut water, pineapple, lime and mint) and a Thai Sambai (Rum and lime juice infused with Thai basil). The leaves on these two drinks did seem to be the wrong way round, with a Thai basil sprig in the sweet jungle colada, and no hint of mint within the drink at all, but honestly, as someone who isn't keen on mint, I was happy with this! My wife who also loves mint in a cocktail, was also pretty chuffed, especially when this happy accident happened on the second order of drinks too! We had the Fisherman's Feast platter to share - crispy squid bits were nice, but perhaps too many; soft shell crab was our first time having this so no comparisons to be made but it was certainly nice; salt and pepper squid is definitely the best starter here so I'm glad it featured on this platter and a classic papaya salad, which has left my partner once again dreaming of our holidays in Thailand - such authentic fresh flavours. Very luscious, and the salad was so fresh which cut through the rest nicely, but it was too much fried food in one hit for us, and left a bit of the squid bits. For mains, I went for a usual - prawn pad Thai, but I also ordered sticky chicken to go with it as it comes highly recommended - I understand why, it was so goooood! My wife had a new dish, spicy double curry sea bass with a roti. She said it was very good, very fresh but not actually that spicy, for her anyway, and not to the level of Thai spice that we remember. We were pretty stuffed from the starters though, so much of our mains was brought home in takeaway cartons and eaten a few hours later. It would be great if the sticky chicken was available as a side dish portion.
Excellent experience today for a late lunch with the family. Had the lunch set menu for the first time and it was delicious! Loved the idea of getting 3 smaller portions with rice for variety. Amazing price too. Manish in the maidstone branch served us, he was very welcoming, polite and attentive throughout. Will definitely be back - now a firm favourite of ours! (Forgot to take a picture as too eager to tuck in)
We recently discovered this place and it's amazing! The food quality was exceptional, and at excellent value in comparison! Our server Adriana was helpful, very efficient and very pleasant! The service was fast to, and the restaurant was quant and beautiful. We're already talking about what we'll get next time!
