My Take
Our Take
The Spot
Basic Kitchen sits on Wentworth Street in Harleston Village, running lunch, dinner, and brunch alongside a dedicated wine and drinks list and its own sweets and kids menus. The kitchen leans produce-forward, with dishes like the curry bowl, buffalo cauliflower, and pistachio pesto sitting alongside a veggie burger, sweet potato fries, a green salad with hummus, wings, peas, schnitzel, and swordfish.

Regulars have built brunch into a routine here, and the plant-based dishes in particular have developed their own following, alongside praise for the bowls and consistent service. Charleston City Paper named Basic Kitchen among its best of 2026.
