Donderos' Kitchen

Rating: 4.5 starts rounded up to 5. Ordered just their butter chicken for lunch with a side of the soup of the day (tomato). While the chicken could have been a bit more tender, overall, I quite liked how the dish came together. Hope to go back to try some of their other dishes sometime.

Both a hidden gem and locally well known. The weekend brunch is the best value in town. Highly recommended.

i arrived after 2pm, so the kitchen was already closed, but they had lots of premade items. very lovely place, it has a very quaint and rustic atmosphere. it felt safe and welcoming for all people, especially LGBTQ+ folks like myself. i found a new brand of sparkling water there! (San Benedetto, 1L bottle, unflavored. never seen this brand before— adding the bottle to my collection after i drink it.) other items they had that piqued my interest: vegan pumpkin bread; vegan pumpkin muffins; oat cookies; granola cookies; to-go sesame noodles; to-go lasagna.

We got the vegan pumpkin bread for $2.25, which was perfectly moist and delicious. We got the gluten-free grit bowl with fried tomatoes, goat cheese and red pepper sauce. We added a fried egg for $1. The ingredients definitely made the bowl, because the grits themselves were very bland—nothing to write home about. Good amount of food though. The french toast special was blueberry french toast. It was very sweet and was definitely not enough for a meal, which is why we we were glad we got the potatoes on the side. The DK scramble on flatbread was delicious. It was a good amount of food, though I would have preferred more eggs in it. I was going to get the quiche special (goat cheese, tomatoes and spinach) for my meal, but we decided to get it for the whole table, and I’m glad we did because it wasn’t a whole quiche! It was maybe 1/4 of a quiche, which was not advertised. For $5, that wasn’t worth it. It was nice that I got a free coffee because I’m a teacher. They offer deals for teachers, police officers, firefighters, and others, so make sure to check out their website. The place itself is cute—wooden tables and chairs, art for sale and cute little decorations. One plus was there was not wait for brunch on a Saturday morning! We were all satisfied with our meals, but because some portions were small, I’m giving it 4 stars.
