Giggling Squid - Maidstone

You'll find yourself on Earl Street in the thick of Maidstone's restaurant scene, and Giggling Squid slots in perfectly amongst the independent spots that actually matter. This is Thai done properly—the kind of place where the kitchen takes itself seriously without being precious about it. The menu reads like someone's actually been to Thailand and paid attention, and the room itself has enough warmth and character to make you want to linger. Whether you're after a weeknight dinner or something more intentional, it hits the mark consistently.
