Stroll Through North Charleston’s Newest Vegan Restaurant | Eater Carolinas

"Opened on December 11, 2017, Dell'z on the Macon in North Charleston was launched by Maudell Grayson and her daughter Smarel Nicole after 10 years of nourishing downtown Charleston with Jazzy Pizzas, Picky Nikki Nachos, and fresh fruit smoothies, and they are excited to bring delicious, healthy food options to another part of town. The menu is entirely vegan-friendly, and Smarel Nicole insists that “Soul food began with healthy eating. Good food is good food.” Thanks to a partnership with local nonprofit Metanoia, menu items are offered on a pay-what-you're-able scale—for example, a guest can choose to purchase a salad for $4, $5, or $6 and receive the same portion size. Located at 2021 Reynolds Ave., the restaurant is a vibrant, comfortable place to work, play, meet, and make new friends: large sidewalk-facing windows let natural light flood the colorful space, which features a community table, high-top window seats, short round café tables, a cushioned bench, and a floral mural that proclaims “Niam N Goura” or “Eat to Live” in celebration of culture, wellness, and vitality. Dell'z on the Macon operates Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and is part of Dell'z Restaurant Group, LLC alongside Dell'z Uptown with a third restaurant planned to open in late 2018." - Victoria Rae Moore
