A lucky find. We were driving around aimlessly and saw a sign for this place and decided to check it out. It was not busy at the time, which is criminal given how good it was. Alyssa answered all of our questions and made sure we knew what everything was. The food was ready pretty quickly, and delicious, perfectly seasoned, nicely presented, and good portion size. Alyssa had also recommended we try their cake for dessert. Best. Cake. Ever. We tried the pistachio and the mango. I don’t care for pistachio, but I would order this again in a heartbeat. And the mango? Light, fresh, not overly sweet, chunks of real mango, and the icing was perfectly light and creamy to complement the mango. If I’m in the area again I’ll definitely be going back!
Vegetarian options: There are some already vegetarian options but most things on the menu could but altered

Fantastic place! Food was delicious, I got the Yakisoba with tofu and also tried the egg roll. Highly recommend. Server was friendly and attentive And we had a party of 11 for a birthday celebration. I will be back and others in the party were saying the same.

It feels like you’re at dinner party at someone’s house a lil bit and it’s so cute and cozy!! Food is bomb, we’ve always had the same waitress and she’s a sweetie. Love this place!

It's a cute place with good food, but they charged me $50 for a bowl of noodles and a drink. I left hungry even! Service was kind and energetic, but I kept having to go up to the host to ask them to find my server because I had been waiting for so long.

My family’s new favorite restaurant. Mongoose is fantastic! It’s clean, cute, friendly and the food is sooooo good. We’re going back tonight for a birthday celebration. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

All the food is made from scratch, and it tastes amazing. PLEASE save room for a slice of cake! They have homemade cake, and it is a must to order a slice!! Honestly, if you want the best dessert in Deland, go here and get some cake. In case I didn't already mention it... you need to try their cake

Went here last week to celebrate my birthday and everything was fantastic! Can't recommend enough. I've thought about the food several times since will be making plans to go again soon. The pistachio cake was also next level. 12/10!!
Cassie Goodwin
Wow! Such a pleasant little spot! The creative food options include spice, gluten free, tofu and more. The service was phenomenal. The outside dining was relaxing and cozy. Highly recommend.
Yohann Ripert
Went last night. Amazing food, full of flavor, cozy ambiance, awesome quantity!
Alexandra Schwartz
Excellent service, cozy, artistic, and upbeat atmosphere. Most importantly the food…We had the lemongrass asada tacos- to die for and a very good portion size! Will definitely be back. This is a gem of a spot in Deland. If you haven’t been, you just go. They always have different specials to try. It certainly will not disappoint.
