Black Owned Restaurants in Phoenix that’s are 💯 Vegan!

Black Owned: Nana’s Kitchen $$ | Chandler, AZ | 480-463-9490

We met the owners, who also used to live in Atlanta, so we connected deeply to their southern roots and good vegan soul food.

Nana’s Kitchen is located in Chandler, AZ, in a mini-mart just a few miles from the airport. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The restaurant offers dining, pick-up, and delivery (DoorDash). If you dine in, get there early to grab a seat.

We loved that they had high chairs, and we’ve been multiple times where we’ve done dine-in and take-out.

Vegan BBQ Phoenix at Nana’s Kitchen

If you’ve been searching for vegan BBQ in Phoenix, Nana’s Kitchen is the spot you don’t want to miss. Their BBQ plates are loaded with flavor and remind me of the comfort food I grew up with.

The soy ribs are smoky and tender, the baked beans have that perfect sweet-savory balance, and the vegan mac and cheese is creamy and filling. It’s the kind of meal that makes you forget you’re even eating vegan BBQ—it just tastes like good food.

We also love their cauliflower wings, which pair perfectly with any of the BBQ plates. Between that and the soul rolls (our kids’ favorite), there’s always something new to try.

Nana’s definitely delivers when it comes to vegan barbecue in Phoenix. It’s comfort food with love, and it’s quickly become one of our family’s go-to spots.
