#Giggling #Squid #Clifton
Had a great visit again to the giggling squid in Clifton. The food was great, I had a the Tapas lunch menu, which was full of moth watering flavours, green curry, jasmine rice to name a few with an extra dish of honey duck, which was awesome. My wife had the giggling squid set with a dish of salt and pepper squid on the side, which she raves about.
Service was fast and efficient, so was the delivery of the food to the table.
The restaurant was quieter than I have seen it before, especially for a Saturday afternoon, so it slightly lacked the noise and hussle.
Came here on a weeknight and surprised with how busy it was, although it was quite the intimate restaurant which may add to how busy it is.
Staff were very warm and welcoming and the food was so flavourful! For starters, we ordered the pork skewers, squid and fried mushrooms which were UNREAL – I wouldnt have thought this was a vegan dish!
Then for mains, my husband had a prawn pad thai and I had a beef dish from the special menu with the tom yum fried rice. The beef dish was okay….very soft and tender which I loved although I had a lot of fat on mine.
Then we had the pandan tres leches to share which was so moist and was so addictive!
Only downside was that they didnt have the pineapple banana coconut smoothie at the time.
Very surprised by how mid the food was given the popularity of the chain and the other positive reviews. Maybe i got unlucky, but both the pad thai and green curry were very bland and did not taste authentic at all. Both dishes were left unfinished. Also the prices feel quite high, especially for the quality. the green curry in particular, despite being completely veggie, (and a small portion- came in a tiny bowl as pictured) and cost nearly £15 ..
Came out for an evening meal with some colleagues. Food was tasty and well presented. I went for a masaman with sticky rice! The Thai twist in the cocktails was definitely a hit! Gave a four on service only because we had to call a few times to get attention but the restaurant was v busy for a Friday night!
Lovely spot with great food! The service was fast, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was delicious, with plenty of vegetarian options available.
