Basic Kitchen

Absolutely loved Basic Kitchen. We ate dinner on the beautiful patio next to a heater that kept us plenty warm without needing to wear our jackets. The food was amazing! I had the caramelized carrots (they were so big they looked like sweet potatoes), a golden latte, and the coconut chicken bowl. The waitress was incredible, she asked if I like spicy things and I said no so she suggested the chili oil on the side and I’m grateful for that suggestion as it would have been to spicy for me. She also gave us a list of places to check out when she learned it was our first time in Charleston. Everything about this place was top notch and I highly recommend it.

We were told by our valet to go here for lunch. We sat at the bar and our servers/bartenders were exceptional. They educated us patiently and did a great job with their recommendations. I had the Falafel Bowl with the Shawarma Chicken (thanks, Ben, for that upgrade recommendation!) and my husband had the Naughty Burger. The flavors were great on both. Great, fresh flavors and a very fresh environment.

Basic Kitchen continues to impress. The bowls were amazing. My wife had the Falafel Bowl, and it was absolutely delicious. Super fresh, perfectly balanced, and very filling without feeling heavy. The house-made hot sauce deserves a special mention. Incredible flavor with the right amount of heat. It elevated the entire dish. You can really tell they use very clean, high-quality ingredients, and there are plenty of great options for vegetarians. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Between the food quality, cleanliness, and overall experience, this place truly lives up to the hype. Highly recommended if you are in Charleston.
