Giggling Squid brighton

I went to the giggling squid in Brighton for my girlfriend's 23rd. the atmosphere was decent, staff were very friendly and professional. However I was so disappointed with the general food... the starter was better then the main :( too much spice was put all over the food which turned my meal into a challenge rather than an experience :'D Finally the biggest thorn in my side was the price at the end which came almost to £80 for two?! which in comparison to the portion size wasn't great. Overall was nice but wouldn't go again

This place is amazing. Super tasty food, I recumbent the salt and pepper squid and the chicken pad Thai as a must, but everything is good. Nice location and a Victorian building, right in the centre. Recommended for romantic dinners ;)

Food Quality is excellent.. had to wait a little while outside before being seated but definitely worth the wait and Minta who served us was very friendly positive and gave us some very helpful recommendations! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good food and quick service. What would have been better is if they had sharpened their colouring pencils for kids as they were all in need of it... But they did have the thought in the first place

Apparently, this is their first branch. Giggling Squid is always a winner. The staff were very attentive and the lady gave us a heads up that we ought to get our order in as a large table upstairs were going to order soon. She took our order a few seconds later and our food came out in less than ten minutes. The spring rolls are very tasty, too.

I love the giggling squid restaurants! Food is amazing and so are the prices. This one is a really quirky house that's turned into a restaurant. Highly recommend the pad Thai

Nice quirky little place. Food was very nice. Staff were helpful and friendly. I found it a little pricey and was not amused by them forcing a 10% tip on top of the bill.

Went to the Brighton Giggling Squid for the first time, in a group of five on a Wednesday evening (booked a week in advance). It looks like a converted house. Two steep steps up to the entrance door, then sharp right to first dining area or straight ahead up and flights of stairs to other dining areas here and there. Toilets are right at the top of the building, in what looks like a loft conversion (low ceilings at 45 degrees). We had an upstairs table in a small side room containing tables for four, four, two and six (us). Wait staff were frequently to be seen and although it was busy (BOOK!) there was little hanging around. We ordered starters and mains in one go as we were very hungry, and eight drinks. Cocktails served quickly, all good. Food was presented in lidded fry pans and stoneware bowls, which you ate from with knived and forks. Everything was nice, one starter, one main and a rice or noodle dish was about about right size for one hungry adult. They add a 10% service charge to the bill without asking, but waiter said that is shared equally between the staff so I left it at that and no tip on top, £184.03 total. NB. Evening parking at The Lanes is just £5 from 6pm to midnight and we used it. It is an excellent facility just found the corner from the restaurant.

I love Giggling Squid, I've visited a few now. The food was lovely, a bit on the cold side but still delicious. The service also seemed quite slow but it was quite a busy evening. The staff were polite & quick to act once they saw how long we waited.

Great food. Good to have a vegan menu rather than having to pick through the main one, but a bit tricky there only being 1 of them to share with the 4 of us. Generally good friendly service but we did have to go to find someone to pay as, after giving us the bill they seemed to forget us. The rotis were very good. With lots of v nice sauce, it'd have been good to provide spoons.
