About

Enjoy the best Thai food in Windsor at Giggling Squid. Serving plentiful dishes, vibrant Thai ingredients and bold flavours for lunch and dinner. Situated in the heart of the town, overlooking Windsor Castle, we're a three-minute walk to the river with boutique shops nearby and the Theatre Royal is next door. This beautiful restaurant offers a bright, botanical setting, welcoming service and delicious Thai food cooked by skilled Thai chefs.

Whether you're after lunch with friends, a bite with the kids, romantic date or are celebrating with a bigger group, our vibrant restaurant is ready to welcome you.

The menu features a wide variety of much-loved Thai dishes, celebrating delicious fresh produce from the sea and land flavoured with Thailand's abundance of herbs, spices and vegetables. We offer vegetarian and vegan options and a fantastic value lunch menu with sharing plates, noodles and Thai soups starting from £4.50.   An evening menu serves up classics such as Massaman Curry and Pad Thai alongside hero Giggling dishes such as Sticky Chicken and Salt & Pepper Squid. The drinks menu features perfect pairing wines plus delicious cocktails from Margaritas to Mojitos – all served with a Thai twist! Plus, there's a kids' menu for 'Squidlets'.

We’re open every day from 12.00pm to 22.30pm and our Thai feasts are also available for delivery and take away.
