Why Travelers Love Loose Mongoose
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Authentic restaurant in the BVI. Walking distance from the Tortola airport (EIS). Great Painkillers. Good food! Excellent dinghy dock for visiting boat people. First time at the new location on Trellis Bay. To say I was impressed would be an understatement. Beautiful facilities, gorgeous dock, excellent food, and great service. The conch fritters are the best around, as were the Painkiller drinks. They did an amazing job building this restaurant. I’ll definitely be returning here often. Great food, great service and an especially great birthday surprise (complete with music, a photo frame, and pyrotechnic candles)! Thanks for making Nathan feel special on his 15th birthday!

Of the restaurants I visited down here this place had the best food, their lobster bisque was amazing, and portions are good. Overall really happy, only con was long service time, but every place here runs on island time so I guess that's just how it be. Recommend giving this place a shot! Picture unrelated 😂

The food is hands down just incredible. As mundane as chicken wings might be, Da Loose Mongoose nailed it. Perfectly cooked and seasoned... Left our table wanting more... Glad we saved up because the Shrimp It! With Asian Red Curry sauce was a game changer. Best curry ever, to a person, in our group. Well done Mongoose! Can't wait to come back.
