Exciting culinary news for Charleston food enthusiasts: Makan, a renowned D.C.-based restaurant, is set to open its second location in our very own Lowcountry. Taking over the former Goulette Rotisserie and Grill at 210 Rutledge Ave, this new dining spot promises to bring a taste of Malaysia to downtown Charleston.
South Carolina’s own Chef James Wozniuk, who has garnered multiple accolades including recognition in the Michelin guide, will be at the helm of the new lowcountry eatery. The 2,350-square-foot restaurant will offer a menu rich in traditional Malaysian flavors, featuring dishes like Nasi Kunyit (turmeric rice), Ramly burger, and the legendary Spicy Hakka Noodles.
