Giggling Squid - Harborne in Dudley - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had an amazing evening at the giggling squid! The caramelised pork belly was unreal! Mew was super helpful and attentive. This was my first time and I would definitely return!

Great food and service. Cocktails were two for one too which was a nice treat and also now accept BlueLightCard discount so was a good deal for us

Beautiful meal! Brilliant service by Sam, thank you will definitely be retiring for a third time! Definitely recommend the massaman curry

First visit on Friday evening - booked online, welcomed warmly, shown to a good table by the pass (disguised by a wonderful wall of silk flowers). Ordered glasses of rose wine and sauvignon blanc which went well with the food, Thai garlic hake and pad Thai prawn and jasmine rice. Generous portions of tasty, well presented food. Service very professional, not obtrusive but effective. such a pleasant change. finished off with mini chocolate melt pudding and coffee and a liquor. What a great evening. will definitely be back.

Every visit to this branch of GS is a joy. The staff are wonderful, so friendly, with a warm greeting and fabulous service. The food is always excellent, having travelled extensively in Thailand, this is some of the best Thai food I have eaten anywhere. We went for a friends Birthday which I casually mentioned and when desert arrived, so did the wonderful staff with a special treat, singing Happy Birthday which made my friends day. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, the decor is beautiful and stylish, first rate food and service.

We went to the giggling squid for a meet-up with some family friends. There were eight of us in total. When we sat down we were told we had 1 hour and 45 minutes before someone else needed our table. For us this was fine. However if someone tells me I have a certain amount of time I don’t expect it to take ages to get menus then ages to get drinks and so on. The food was excellent. The kids portions were absolutely huge and our family friends got a takeaway box for the rest of the lovely kids food that two of their children had left.

The food was superb, the service exemplary and the atmosphere delightful. All in all this was a wonderful experience and I cannot recommend it enough. 5 stars 🌟

We visited this Giggling Squid in Harborne on 9th February and Best was the server for our table, this amazing lady did everything perfect, the way she spoke to us, explaining the menu and table service were truly 10/10. The food was also amazing as we had Squid Bites, Steak, Lamb Shank, Rice, Bangkok Bites & Prawn Crackers - too much food

Great food, reasonable price and quick, friendly service. Only downside is the parking near the Harborne Hugh St. But that doesn't reflect badly on Giggling Squid. Honestly is probably the best Thai food I've had out of the fair few I've been to. FYI- had the Hawker set (lunch menu). Would definitely have it again.

We visited Giggling squid Harborne more than a few times since the opening back in 2021. Always enjoyed the food and service in fact we celebrated my birthday in the past and received acknowledgement and a little cake from the staff. However today despite informing the restaurant that this wss a special birthday lunch, it was disappointing to find that there was no birthday acknowledgement or any little cake which we found very disappointing as it is this kind of attention to details which makes restaurant stand out from the competition. No longer special venue for special celebration hence the overall low score.

Beautiful place. Delicious lunch (Hawker Set: Chicken Tom Kha Soup, Minced Chicken Gra Pao , Prawns Wok Fried with Ginger, Special Fried Rice). Lauren, who served me, was very friendly and helpful. I’ll go back soon to try more dishes, and will recommend to friends.

Beautiful food and venue, just a shame one of the servers was rudely trying to rush us out when we wanting a relaxing meal. However Mew was our primary waitress and she was wonderful!

Took forever to get our drinks, the food cane out quickly my seafood main was way too salty. I definitely get the concept but after visiting a few times I'm just not impressed with the food.

Lovely spot for lunch with friends for a birthday treat. Lovely settings and great food. Total bill with drinks was £80 for 3 which was very well priced. Highly recommend the lunch tapas - a great way to taste all the lovely options available.

We had heard good things and already have their cookery book and then had an opportunity for a lunch and we were not disappointed. The decor and atmosphere is very nice and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The menus are very varied and the food was very tasty. We ordered from the lunch tapas menu and everything was very tasty - squid, satay, wings, roast duck, gra pao, prawns. Shame the dumplings weren’t available but will be back to try them again another time. Highly recommended.

Lovely setting with a fantastic spiral staircase. We ordered various dishes including the shared mixed starter that was splendid. Lovely food plenty of garlic and would definitely return.

My first visit. A couple of things not available off the menu but atleast the food is so popular its running out. My meal was hot and delicious. The interior is stunning. Staff very attentive and friendly. My one and only criticism, a service charge added to the bill is an American habit we can do without. I'd like to leave a tip because my server deserves it, not because it's on the bill...does my waitress have to pay tax on this? Does she even get this service charge?

Lovely venue. Went on 3rd Nov to celebrate a birthday. Ate upstairs and our server was amazing. So attentive and friendly. And we got free ice cream and a happy birthday song! A great evening and fab food too.

First time trying the Harborne branch of giggling squid, interior was very impressive. Service was quick and attentive. We had starters and mains which were nice, not a huge Thai curry fan but still enjoyed it. Did feel it was a bit pricey for what we had, especially with the 10% added to the bill. Defo worth a try but I won’t be rushing back.

My daughter and I went for lunch and really enjoyed 5 tapas plates. The food was sooooo delicious. The service was helpful, interested and the staff were delightful. We only had just over an hour and we didn’t feel rushed but enjoyed the lovely surroundings, staff and food.

We had to change our booking twice on the night and the staff were brilliant and respectful in changing and accommodating us. The service was not rushed and just perfect. Our host Best was really knowledgable and helpful with ordering and recommendations too. A great first visit.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Tasty food with just the right amount of spice...and the stickiest sticky rice ever! Portion sizes are just right, however the sharing starter was very generous.

I haf a great experience at this restaurant, ordered online to pick my well packed and ready food 20 min later. I even got free crackers for waiting just few minutes inside. Very polite and helpul service, delicious food! Thank you so much and I...

We couldn’t understand why there was no one else in the restaurant when we turned up at 1pm for lunch. Food was very good, however, the waitress was repeatedly, jaw-droppingly rude. Not recommended.

Every member of staff we encountered were lovely and made the experience more enjoyable. We had a cocktail to start - tasty and well presented. Food was amazing (food heaven!) We had chicken satay, pork dumplings, pork cheek, drunken ribs, sticky rice (stickiest rice I've...

Good variety of food and nice space. Waitresses are very welcoming and helpful. Food are delicious and good Portion size. I recommend 2 things: one to order the tapas set, so tou have a bit of everything and second go ti the restroom before eating.

Food was very nice and the service was lovely too, will be back soon for sure. I would love to recommend this restaurant for everyone because it’s very decor and i love Thai food so much so this place will be my favourite place in...

Such a lovely ambience. Food is always tasty,and when I say always I mean always! I've never had a concern about anything which is why I always return.. Staff always check if we're happy. I always find it hard to leave...definitely a 'must try restaurant!

Really lovely the food is very very nice, lovely fresh greens, tender falling off the bone meat and delightful tastes and quality. Totally value for money, friendly staff, quick service, knowledgable and helpful and very nice experience, lamb shank was too spicy for my old...

5/5 great food with amazing service. 2 4 1 cocktails were a bonus for sure. Would definitely recommend and would go again

Excellent staff. Molly was amazing. Food was really well cooked and full of flavour. Lovely decor and a great atmosphere.

My family and I had dinner during a recent visit to Birmingham. I really liked the decor of the restaurant, the flowers were beautiful. I had a couple of margaritas and I will say they were some of the best margaritas I have ever had,...

Great food, staff attentive and knowledgeable about the food, and how to eat them. Cocktails very nice. Very clean place, food was served on warm plates, some of family mention to staff that some of the food wasn't hot enough but was edable. Tried puffed...

As we seated we was given a list of not available items. Drinks ordered taken and brought but this is when it starts going down hill. We had to wait for a while before someone took our order, starters arrived after 10-15 mins. Then nearly...

Not a great experience for food. We had their signature dish salt and pepper squid, it was just mouthful of salt, completely inedible. The classic satay chicken skewer is not grilled and you cannot taste the peanut sauce, instead it’s taste of lemongrass, not authentic...

We were in Birmingham for the day and decided to have dinner at the Giggling Squid after reading some good reviews and we weren’t disappointed. We managed to get seated straight away. The staff were friendly and the food full of flavour. The restaurant has...

Great food, very flavoursome. Decent size portions too. Very pretty decor and great service by Lia and Best. We only were given 2 hours (it was monthers day) and could have probably fitted in a quick desert, w hours for a table of 5 is...

Food amazing - really loved Salmon Nests starter :). Atmosphere great. Decor very pretty. Staff attentive but not in your face

We went to the restaurant first time. We were were very happy with food and service was second to none. We also order the vegetable green curry which I recommen. The dessert were so delicious.

Really lovely staff and yummy food. We went for a family lunch and thought the quality was outstanding. Kids were happy also!

One of the best Thai restaurants i have ever been. Me and my girlfriend went there for valentines day and had a great experience the staff was really nice and helpful. We ordered beef brisket and red curry they were really nice and tasteful. However...

Delicious dinner we all enjoyed. Good service food lovely. Booked after reading reviews. Not disappointed

We visited here as we had always wanted to try the very tasty sounding menu. The restaurant is nicely decorated, cozy and the hostess was very welcoming. We decided to try a selection of starters (Golden Money Bags, Moo Ping Pork Skewers and Salt and...

Such a pretty interior, with quickly-made delicious food! The chef made chicken massaman curry instead of prawn, and though I insisted that that was ok and that I would still eat it, they remade a new one for me with prawns. Service was excellent, and...

Food was tasty and the portion were filling. The service was friendly and welcoming, thank you Ozan. A bit expensive but it was worth it.

Food was excellent at our family lunch (4/9/22) unfortunately can’t say same for table service. Not very attentive waited far too long to pay. Oh then had audacity to impose a 10% service charged which I did not notice til I got home!!

Went here for a joint birthday meal, after hearing that this place was giving Sabai Sabai and good run for its money! Decor is amazing very instagramable! Good walk to the toilets with quite a few stairs. Starters came out and whilst they were tasty...

Attractive presentation on entry. Menu varied and broad-ranging, including GF and Vegan. Ten adults seated, each with a different order, one needing GF with which Staff were not only professional but checked with the kitchen that what the Guest was told would be safe, would...

Came here with my partner on Sunday, lovely decor, lovely waitress but the food was poor, the squid starter was rubbery, chicken wings were cold and sparse. The main, jungle curry just tasted purely of ginger, there was barely any chicken I. It. The crying...

We had a fantastic engagement meal for 35. We had the whole of upstairs to ourselves and from beginning to the end we were looked after superbly. The staff,Horeja and Mo were pleasant and very attentive. All our needs were met and I don't think...

I read some of the reviews, looked at the photos of the restaurant and studied the menu, and thought we'd take a punt at a new (chain) restaurant. I could not fault the waitress or the decor, but the food was definitely not like any...

Our granddaughter is a student at Birmingham Uni and is vegan so finding this place has been a god send. I was impressed that they openly advertise a Vegan Menu. I booked a table for 3 at 5pm so we could eat with her before...

First Thai restaurant visited as a family. My daughter loves to experiment with her food, especially Asian food, Korean/Thai/Chinese. I'm skeptical about new places but this was a great place to go! The Squid was her favourite! There's a real good selection for Vegetarians too,...

We came here for a family meal which we were not disappointed about as the staff were amazing and friendly! The food was delicious with reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend! we will be returning on the next family outing..

Visited to celebrate a family birthday party. Was initially really impressed by the interior the place is very pretty. It wasn't overly busy during our visit but the wait between starter and our mains felt really long. Also 2 of our starters came out cold....

This was our first time visiting the Giggling Squid on Friday evening and what we witnessed was very shocking. A group of people running a scam by complaining about the bill and from the sounds of it was refusing to pay. This created a very...

A superb meal, delicious cocktails and a fun welcoming environment to sit back and relax in with friends. Looking forward to returning already.

Great interior , nice and airy , well decorated. Attentive staff. Found the food to be a little bit hit and miss but will know the menu better next time. Overall a good experience but a little bit on the pricey side

Had a meal for two this week and were served by Mo, who was excellent throughout. The restaurant ambience and general atmosphere is great. However, there were no large bottles of beer and £4 a bottle for a small beer was very expensive. In terms...

Having visited the Giggling Squid in Wimbledon two or three times I had high hopes that the one in Harborne would live up to my expectations, however it did not. Before we had hardly got in through the door we were greeted with any allergies...

We’d heard mixed reviews about Giggling Squid but given it’s a five minute walk from our house we decided to go and check it out ourselves. Have to say, we were really pleasantly surprised. We’d booked a table for four as a joint birthday celebration....

So, let’s get the good stuff out of the way first. Food was tasty enough, good value and the portions were quite large. That said, I wasn’t “wowed” by any of it. The decor was really nice and, when we arrived (at 7.30 on a...

Given the current Government restrictions on party gatherings of 6, our party of nine was sensibly and safely segregated, yet perfectly accommodated and catered for at the Giggling Squid, Harborne.

We visited the Giggling Squid on a pleasant Summer evening. It was busy and very loud inside; there are no soft furnishings or curtains so the sounds echo a lot. This was particularly noticeable when the bar person shook her cocktails next to my ear...
