Little Donkey

Vsry dark place with a great happy hour menu. Had the burger and chicken sandwich. Both were very good and cooked just right. The drinks are super good. The grapefruit drink is good but small and pricey. Staff was great and the place is very open with lots of room.

We are back again at Little Donkey, this time as a party of three. First thing I want to do is give a shout out to our server, Whitney, and Joe, who is the floor manager. They took such great care of us. The service was amazing! The food, once again, was outstanding! Fresh oysters, brussel sprouts, bao buns, desserts, all of them were amazing! You can tell this is a kitchen that clicks at all times and really cares about the food that they prepare. Go to Little Donkey. You will not regret it!

I had such a wonderful experience at the little donkey! Marvin the bartender and his whole staff behind the bar treated me like royalty and I cannot wait to be back. Drinks were perfection, food was delicious and decadent and service was top notch. Thank you!!

I was right the food was extraordinary. The staff was accommodating and very pleasant I highly recommend if you are in Cambridge to visit this establishment you’ll have an amazing meal.

Little Donkey succeeds by embracing range without losing control, delivering a globally inspired menu that remains grounded, energetic, and confidently executed. The food is eclectic by design, but not scattered. Dishes pull from multiple regions while maintaining clarity and balance, avoiding the trap of fusion for fusion’s sake. Flavors are bold but considered, portions are generous without excess, and plates arrive complete rather than overworked. While not every dish is revelatory, the overall batting average is high—an impressive feat for a menu this broad. Service is relaxed, friendly, and well-paced, reinforcing the restaurant’s approachable tone. Staff guide comfortably without overexplaining, and the room runs smoothly even at volume. Hospitality here feels natural rather than s
