   Friendly and helpful, I went with the waitress recommendation( Xui ) and had the melting beef, and it was absolutely amazing. We all had something different and tried each other's, all the food was lovely and portion sizes were spot on. I would definitely go again when I'm in the Horsham area. 4 of us spent £200 however, we all had starters, mains, and side dishes, desserts, drinks and coffee. Felt full but not uncomfortably full. Recommended.

   Really expensive! Have to pay separately for rice. Cocktails were nice. We arrived at 6pm and got our food within 10 minutes of ordering. And then continued to have dirty dishes next to us for over 45 minutes and the waitress excuse was because she "didnt see us", yet she walked past our table multiple times!

   I walked past the Giggling Squid during lunch today and it was happily buzzing with guests. Later in the evening I did go back to give it a try!, makes sense why it was busy, the food and menu options are great, Ms Cooper who was very welcoming helped me choose my main course and dessert, both of which were delicious. The mini dessert and coffee is a great way to try the chocolate lava cake only to realize it’s so good, next time a full portion is definitely worth it. A great experience overall 10/10. A must visit kinda place.

   A Standout Experience at Giggling Squid – Horsham From the moment we arrived at Giggling Squid in Horsham, I was warmly welcomed and impeccably looked after by the wonderful Natalie and Leena. Their attentiveness, kindness, and genuine enthusiasm brought the whole experience to life — it’s rare to find service so thoughtful and naturally gracious. The food? Simply spectacular. I started with crispy, golden spring rolls filled with fresh vegetables and served alongside perfectly balanced dipping sauces — the sweet chili had just the right kick. The green curry was vibrant and aromatic, with tender chicken, fresh bamboo shoots, and silky coconut milk marrying beautifully with the Thai basil. Every dish was presented with care and packed with flavor — the chicken wings were sticky, spicy, and addictive, and the beef skewers were grilled to perfection with a rich soy-based dip that rounded everything off. Each plate was a little burst of colour and freshness, made even better by the thoughtful garnish and presentation. Whether you’re a Thai food devotee or trying it for the first time, this meal was a delicious reminder of how soulful and satisfying Thai cuisine can be. Natalie and Leena, thank you for your wonderful hospitality — you made my visit truly memorable. Highly recommend for anyone passing through Horsham — I will absolutely be back!

   Dined here for the third time tonight with my partner and it was flawless yet again. Gorgeous food - we've had the Chang Mai sharing platter, lamb shank Massaman, duck curry, pork cheeks, melting beef, and also their Christmas set menu in 2022. Consistently fantastic, lovely staff, great atmosphere! Cocktails are also delicious

   Cannot thank your chefs, Harry, Jonny and nick enough for making our anniversary meal so special. We are blown away by the high standard service and food. Please send my thanks to the chefs who cooked my prawns and papaya salad, completely preparing the best dish without chilli, oil or dairy. I appreciate this so much as no other establishment gets this right. My dishes were prepared with such care. The drinks we had were second to none. This was our first visit and we are so grateful for looking after us. I cannot recommend you enough.

   Authentic Thai food served in generous portions. This restaurant is very easy to get to, if driving from out of town park in Piries Place car park and it’s a short walk. We ordered a lot between four of us, as the menu is large with a great selection and we simply couldn’t choose. The service was quick and starters arrived soon after ordering. The plates were generous for a starter and we ordered 6 plates so we could share and have a taste of most dishes. Duck spring rolls, “Money Bags” oyster mushrooms, Beef tips, rice balls and their iconic salt and pepper squid. It’s easy to see why the salt and pepper squid is a favourite, it’s fresh with a light batter and the sauce is delicious. Onto mains, “taste explosion” comes to mind. All the dishes tasted nice, the lamb shank massaman was rich and creamy and whilst it’s one of the more expensive items on the menu, you don’t feel cheated because it was so tender. It comes on the bone but it basically falls off. I did however get a very small bone in it too, so some attention should be paid. The duck was very tasty and the red curry was perfect for anyone looking for that classic clean Thai spice taste. The menu highlight however was the tofu. The method to get a light crunchy texture is not something you often replicate at home, so it’s a treat. The sweet sauce used was delicious and if you’re looking for a lighter menu item, this one is perfect. It should be noted that all the meat eaters said this was one of the nicer dishes! Overall we spent £130 for four of us. This included a bottle of wine and a beer, 6 starters and 4 mains with rice additions to each. Very prompt and friendly staff, they’re very attentive and friendly. Few takeaway comments: They ask for dietary requirements, one of us was Vegan. When ordering, the vegan main we chose was not available. This would have been better to say earlier. Please add a mango sticky rice to the menu :)

   My favourite restaurant in Horsham. I have never once been disappointed by the food and the atmosphere is great. They have a range of spicy and mild dishes, so there is something for everybody. My favourite is the prawn penang. I love that they also use Thai flavour combinations in their cocktails and desserts, which a lot of restaurants do not do. If you come at lunchtime then they have Thai tapas which is great because you get to try more things than you otherwise might.
