Everything was fabulous, the food was delicious with good quality ingredients, great value for the portion sizes.
The service from the ladies was very attentive without being overpowering (just right) they were talkative, happy, and bubbly, nothing was to much trouble, we were not rushed in any way, overall a great experience, it was our first visit, and definitely won't be our last, the decor was very colourful we loved it, there was a very good atmosphere the background music was very relaxing.
Thank you so much, Gigi Goa's

I've scored value as a 9 because of the price of my soft drink .I'm happy with the cost of the food and alcohol but not with the price of a glass of coke.I understand its the same everywhere however. We really enjoyed our visit to the restaurant ,food was outstanding and all the waiting staff were all really nice. We will definitely return.

We celebrated my Son’s birthday at Gigi Gao’s and we had a great experience. The lady who assisted us (sorry, didn’t get your name) was very attentive and kind, she even gave my son a lucky charm bracelet when she found out that it was his birthday. The food was great and good portion. Would highly recommend.

So sorry but the duck was tough and dry and in large pieces, I had no knife to cut just a fork! The drinks were very expensive. The staff and ambience were wonderful.

Food is lovely but it is expensive for what you get. The decor is looking tired, there were a few damp patches that I noticed. The chair covers were quite dirty and could do with a wash. The staff were very friendly and could do enough for you and the service was excellent. We didn't wait long at all for our food.
