Indian, BBQ, and Creole flavors all get along great at Grann - Review - Seattle - The Infatuation

"Grann is a comfortable neighborhood hangout with exciting food that will pull you in whether you live five minutes away or 45. Inside this Tacoma dining room, great things happen as Indian, Southern BBQ, and Creole dishes join forces. The result is a menu of collabs that makes you say, “Why haven’t I tried this sooner?” Tandoori ribs fall off the bone during a light breeze, puri pimento bites are a texture masterclass, and masala mac and cheese exudes richness. Besides the terrific food, it's a welcoming place for all kinds of groups. Date nights unfold facing the open kitchen, as families pile in by the front window and some folks just pop in to say hello to the chef. Even if some bites are a touch salty, and a few Cajun-heavy dishes could use a bit more Indian flair for balance, Grann is worth a visit when you're in Tacoma. Or, if you already live in the city, consider becoming a regular. What they’re doing already is something special. Food Rundown Puri Pimento Bites Start with these fun little one-bite snacks that have a creamy middle and tangy sweetness from pickled red onions. The airy puri shells give the whole thing a nice crispy texture boost. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Apricot Cornbread The portion might look suspiciously paltry at first glance, but this thing is rich. It arrives warm, plush, and dripping with fruity apricot butter. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Curry Caesar Shout-out to whoever gave this kale a proper deep-tissue massage. It’s tender and chewable, which is a miracle in the world of kale salads. That said, it’s a touch overdressed. Pair it with the cornbread to even things out. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Butter Chicken Agnolotti The sauce is more tangy and tikka-like than classic butter chicken. With a thinner agnolotti dough, this dish could be perfect. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley Tandoori Rib Plate These might be the most tender and fall-off-the-bone ribs we’ve ever had. Masala Mac & Cheese No skimping on the cheese or creaminess here, which is both a win and the reason it’s a little salty. Could use a bit more masala kick, though. photo credit: Kayla Sager-Riley" - Kayla Sager-Riley

Every dish was delicious! The fusion of cuisines was expertly executed and complimented both tastes and textures. Presentation added to the enjoyment of the dish. The atmosphere was lively and also intimate. Serving staff were knowledgable about each dish and made valuable recommendations. Drive from over an hour away to enjoy this food and already planning a return visit. Highly recommend Grann to anyone who loves excellent food!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at GRANN Restaurant for my birthday, and my wife and I truly enjoyed the experience. From the moment we arrived, the welcoming atmosphere set the tone for a wonderful evening. Although there was a slight wait due to us our arriving earlier than our schedule time slot, we were seated just two minutes after our reservation time. The staff and owners were exceptionally friendly, making us feel very comfortable. Now, regarding the food—simply outstanding! Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The ingredients appeared fresh and locally sourced, highlighting the best of what the Pacific Northwest has to offer. The cocktails were equally impressive. Every sip was a delightful experience, well-balanced, and creatively presented. It’s evident that the mixologists at GRANN are dedicated to their craft. I highly recommend GRANN Restaurant to anyone seeking a remarkable dining experience. I suggest making a reservation, as it may be difficult to secure a table without one given how popular it is. I look forward to returning for more delicious food and cocktails. Without question, this is one of the top spots in Tacoma, and it’s a Black-Owned Business, which is an added bonus.

What an incredible dining experience! Our party of eight enjoyed nearly every appetizer and main course—and the red snapper was hands-down the best I’ve ever had. As a pescatarian, I was thrilled to find a smoky, BBQ-style fish on the menu, along with pork-free beans (a rare and delightful surprise!). The staff was wonderfully attentive, the drinks kept coming, and every dish was devoured. The only hiccup? The lively atmosphere made it a bit tricky to hear friends across the table (I’d recommend an ‘off-peak’ visit if you prefer quieter conversations). A standout meal with vibrant flavors and warm hospitality—we’ll definitely be back!

We have been wanting to try this place for a while now because we had heard about the chef when he was at a different restaurant and we really enjoyed his food there. Grann was not disappointing! The food was so delicious with flavor combinations I wouldn’t have thought of and the options were very enticing. The atmosphere is very comfortable and inviting, and the staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful! I highly recommend you visit this wonderful restaurant cause I guarantee you want to come back!

This place is exactly what Tacoma needed!! Amazing food, full of bold flavors that make you happy dance. We have been twice now and have loved everything!! The red snapper fish & ribs were phenomenal! I cannot stop thinking about the puffy rice salad from Valentine’s Day. Everything is cooked perfectly. I can’t wait to go back and try more!

Highly recommend visiting GRANN if you want a delicious and creative meal! My husband and I went here for our wedding anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The flavors were on point the staff were friendly. Looking forward to visiting again and tasting the rest of the menu!

Disappointing grilled fish– The dish looked different from the online photo, and the overpowering tomato sauce drowned out the fish’s flavor. It seemed like a Cajun-inspired attempt but missed the mark. Highs and lows in other food – The lamb burger was tasty (though the bun was too soft), and the fries were perfectly crispy with a great dipping sauce. Dessert was decent but overcooked—not quite the beignets we expected. And not the same as we had in New Orleans. See the photo with 3 items in the plate. Service & atmosphere. The hostesses were welcoming, but our server seemed indifferent. The noise level made conversation difficult, and despite only ordering mains/dessert, our meal felt rushed (in and out in exactly an hour). Sadly,we left underwhelmed.

Had the Tandoori Rib Plate, Butter Chicken Agnolotti, and Apricot Cornbread. I rarely eat pork but I had to steal one of my husband’s ribs - they were the best I’ve ever tasted. We were already planning what we want to order on the next visit before we were done eating 😂

What a wonderful restaurant in our city. The food here is incredible, and it is an honor to have something that stands out in culinary taste and presentation in Tacoma. As sad as I am that the table has been replaced, something great has started its journey and is continuing to shine in the community. We went here for our book club meeting, and dinner was impeccable. I ordered the Mac and cheese, butter chicken agnolotti, bbq fish, baked beans, and greens. When I took my first bite of the greens I was very moved and had an emotional memory, there is a connection I felt when I ate that dish with my own godfather's famous greens. That's for another story, but we loved the baked beans- so flavorful and delicious. Our main dishes were a 11/10. I cannot wait to come back to this restaurant, chef you outdid yourself! Thank you for taking a chance in Tacoma.

We had a great time meeting up with friends and meeting the owner! All the servers and hosts were great and the ambiance is very lively (loud but not in a bad way). I wasn't a huge fan of the food, however, as maybe I had high expectations after looking at the fusion of flavors and was just imagining something different. It's not that the food wasn't good, it was great! But I didn't feel there was anything special from the Indian flavor profile. For example, the beef biryani had tiny bits of shredded beef, the Mac n cheese tasted like a good regular Mac without the Indian twist, the gulab juman beignets tasted like normal traditional flavors instead of the Indian sweet it was described to taste like. The drinks were ok. Non-alcoholic Mango lassi was watered down, the tamarind cocktail had no tamarind taste at all... Overall, it's a great place and wonderful service! But I personally wouldn't go again for the food.

Had such a fun experience! We took our time eating our way through the menu! I just looked at the menu is slightly different for when I went in July. I'M EXCITED TO GO BACK AND TRY THE NEW ITEMS! Also, for reference, there were 4 adults eating and drinking. It's not necessarily a family style restaurant, but it could be and we treated it that way. We started with Pani Puri and both versions of the naan. Portions were large enough to feed everyone. We added the pimento cheese balls next... I LOVE that it came out in an even number so no one feels left out. You can tell the ingredients are fresh, they frying oil is clean, and everything is made with attention and care. For dinner we each got 1 meal and shared. The Ribs were falling off the bone. It came with a potatoes salad (my least favorite item), bread, and homemade pickles. The Masala Lamb Burg was cooked to perfection. Butter Chicken was served with a silky smooth cream sauce over perfectly cooked rice. Finally, the Smoked Beef Briyani was smashed full of flavor! We added Mac N Cheese and Baked Beans as well. In the end we did take some food home. The mix of Indian and BBQ flavors was something I was reluctant about, but IT WORKS! Everything had a nice warm spice. My friend doesn't like anything spicy, like I do, and yet we were both perfectly happy! Finally we all shared the assorted Beignets (6 minis- 2 of each 3 flavors). This was the most lack luster part of the meal. I feel like the sauces lacked the flavor punch that the meals had. It was..... fine. Next time I will try something different. We were there for a long time and never felt rushed. Seeing the fried chicken skins on the menu will be bringing me back in sooner than later!!! This place is a must try!!!

Try this place! I really enjoyed the new innovative concept of Southern and Indian fusion cuisine! Pros: the freaking smoked beef biriyani - has me thinking and dreaming and wanting to come back just to order that there and for take out. I'll take a whole skillet of this many times over! Wow! So so so good! I also enjoyed their Old Grann cocktail - play off of an old fashion. I had 3 drinks and this was by far my fave. It packed the right punch! Also had the Piri pimento cheese balls and omg yuuuuum although they looked fried- so light and airy and had a salty and savory taste with relish to give you a nice finish! Loooove! Cons: customer service was not the best. I got there early and was told to wait outside in the heat. They seemed a little disoriented but maybe because they are still new. Not all the food and drinks were great. I also asked if can sit at a regular table (no one was there) but they were all reserved. As the evening went on, one table looked open but we were not given the option. I understand that it's hard to balance. Overall- please go! This is an establishment that I hope will stay and I will try more dishes and drinks soon!!!!

Food quality: very good and unique flavor combinations. I unfortunately just did not enjoy the flavor combinations. I would say this was a personal taste preference and nothing to do with their cooking or menu design. Service: very good! They were very patient and attentive. Atmosphere: we went on a Friday night. So it was very packed. Extremely loud. You would be yelling across the table to talk to your friend. Kind of felt like a circus being surrounded and constantly having lots of movement and noises. The design of the restaurant made it feel like noise echoed loudly and sounds bounced around. Notes: I honestly think it's just a personal preference, I think many other people would've 100% loved the food and environment. I would say if you want to go somewhere to have good conversation and don't want to feel overwhelmed by this environment maybe don't go on a weekend night.

If you haven't tried Grann - stop everything and go!! Grann is right on 6th ave, close to some really cool places in Tacoma. I can't say how happy I am with Tacoma's food scene- places like this make Tacoma so special!! The restaurant itself is pretty cool, we sat up on a high top, with a clear view into the kitchen. Grann is named after both the chef's Grandmother. The BBQ/Indian fusion is hands down- genius. You take two of the best types of foods- and it's pure heaven. Cocktail- a mango lassi- WHAT!? I shared some dishes with my friend. Started with the naan, homemade, hot, buttery- perfection. The pakora were flavor bombs with a yummy yogurt dipping sauce. We shared the butter chicken angolotti (pasta) and the shredded beef biriyani- both two of the best dishes I've had in a long time. Go support these awesome people and your mouth and tummy will thank you!!

TLDR- 5 stars for the food, flavors, ambiance and service. Grann is a vibe! Grann is the latest addition to 6th avenue and it was worth the wait. I have been waiting for their open for months. They are in their soft opening and this is the best soft opening I have been to ever. We ordered a bunch of items to share and each one was an experience- the layers of flavors they have incorporated into each dish is next level. The mix of soul food & Indian doesn't sound like it would blend nearly as seamlessly as it does. We had the masala mac and cheese, the fried chicken skins, smoked beef biryani and the gulab jamun beignets (yes you read that right) and they are all amazing & I would order them again (but first I have to order the rest of the money). The music selection was great and the staff and owners were a delight. I honestly cannot wait to eat here again and again.

My husband saw there feature on Seattle Refine and decided to have our anniversary dinner. Street parking only. Reservation required for sitting with a one hour window. The layout is welcoming and inviting with great music playing creating space of enjoyment. Black owned business. We ordered the BBQ fish with greens and the lamb burger. Great customer service. A must try!

Wow. So so so delish! We couldn't decide on one thing, so we ordered multiple dishes. The naan bread was so fresh, and comes in one big piece that's easy to share. Next we ordered the pakora which had a slight kick, but the sauce served with it was a perfect compliment. The curry Caesar was good, but wished it was kale mixed with another lettuce type. The tandoori rib plate was by far the best ribs I've ever had in my life. So flavorful and good portion! Collard greens were to die for. Last was the masala mac & cheese, wasn't our fav because you could smell the cinnamon (I think) which kinda threw it off. But still 10/10 food & atmosphere. Service was also great. I'm looking forward to returning asap!

Came with a large group so I was able to try a bunch of different things! My fave had to be the ribs but honestly everything tasted pretty good. The service was fast and friendly even with a 20 person group. It was a fun and different place to try!

I really dig this fusion of Indian, Creole and Southern Bbq. It really works, the flavors blend together with really beautiful aromatics and spices. I got the pleasure to try their grand opening menu without reservations. The service was amazing. Only had to wait about 15 minutes before getting seated. It is a open kitchen concept which i think makes the experience even better because I love watching the chefs put the food together. We ordered almost everything on the menu and the one item we really wanted to try was the tandoori ribs which was sold out. The cornbread was really good! I could eat like 10 of those. And the drinks pack a punch. The only thing was that their main dishes were a tad heavy on the salt. But I can't wait to come back and try their restaurant menu.

Delicious! We had the Creole Masala Shrimp, Puri Pimento Bites, Tandoori Rib Plate & Coconut Masala Green. The shrimp were fresh & flavorful, which the heads on and the sauce was addicting. The pimento cheese was the perfect tasty snack. The ribs were hot, moist, smoky and came with a fantastic and unique potato salad. The greens, the BEST I've had. Great drink menu too. 10/10 recommend. We'll definitely be visiting GRANN again and again.

I went with two friends. The good: service was great. The other stuff: I'm not sure if I just wasn't a fan of their flavor combinations but I did not enjoy any of the dishes in particular. We tried the cornbread, fried chicken skins, fish, Mac and cheese and lamb burger. You would have thought that with this many dishes, at least one of them would be a clear hit. My issue is that both Indian and Creole cuisines are known for their intense flavors. Despite this, all of our dishes were bland (this impression was shared between the three of us) -- it felt like the food lacked a clear vision on what they were aiming for. It felt like bland food sprinkled at the end with a smattering of Indian spices and labeled as "fusion." In addition, the fish was overpriced at $40 and came with no sides - no rice or naan, just fish in sauce. We had high hopes and left pretty disappointed.

This is so close to a 5 star that I'm sure once they get the kinks out it will be. The food is so good - highly recommend the ribs. For mains, we ordered the ribs, the chicken masala ravioli, the Mac and cheese, the shrimp. The shrimp was such a stunner- I highly recommend it. But as a whole the meal was really great, flavors were nice and overall executed well. The only issue that I could see was that service was a little slow and tbh the beignets were not good. But the service issue isn't major- I just anticipate it to be growing pains as we went when they had just opened. Overall can't wait to see this place thrive and can't wait to come back!

Where to start. Made a reservation with the note that we were celebrating an anniversary. No acknowledgement of this event. Second there was two fans circulating the stale air, upon leaving the air outside was more refreshing. The ambiance was cheap at best, with plastic flowers sticking out of repurposed light fixtures from previous restaurant. (The Table). The drinks were overpriced and overpowering with no flavor (had the beehive) the breads were overpriced priced and cold (had the apricot cornbread and the Naan) the main dishes were plentiful and delicious but could tell these were not fresh so resembled a school lunch that had premade and waiting to serve. Mac and cheese was so worth it. In all, over priced for mediocre room temperature food.

What you need to know... The food is amazing, it can be loud, it's a little tight. That being said, let's go back to the food! Holy wow! I like flavor, I like spice, I like comfort food. This place has an abundance of all three without being cliche! I got the bbq fish, who else even offers that?! It was cooked to perfection, and the sauce.... I have no words! I also got the pimiento cheese bites, I could have eaten 50 more! My husband said the cocktails were good, he really loved the Dark Star which seemed to follow the "unique flavor" theme. To finish off the meal we got the chef's special for dessert. Strawberry ice-cream with cognac (I think) sauce and some kind of magical mixture of crunchiness that included strawberry flavored pop rocks. Super delicious and the perfect end to an amazing meal.

Wow! I did not know what to expect when I came here. We pretty much ordered a little bit of everything and went with the servers Recs on a few dishes. We got there about an hour earlier than our reservation but they graciously sat us without any trouble. It was very busy but the service was outstanding. One of the owners came up to us and chatted and I found out about all the hidden Texas longhorns in the restaurant (I'm a Texas gal through and through) so that made it way better. The ambiance was nice and relaxing, although it was super busy it wasn't too loud. But, the food was amazing, every bite had the right amount of flavor profile, my palette was in heaven. I'd definitely recommend this restaurant hands down! I can't wait to go back and try something different!

Fantastic new addition to 6th Ave with wonderful food, drinks, atmosphere and staff. If you're wondering what Cajun-Indian fusion cuisine tastes like, you're just going to have to try it for yourself. There was no vegetarian entree on our visit so my companion and I ordered all four side items and shared. Amazingly, it made a perfect meal with the lively, complex flavors of each dish perfectly complimenting each other. The Vindaloo Baked Beans had a smokey flavor with the right amount of sweetness. Bonus points for the use of black-eyes peas. The Coconut Masala Greens were fantastic. I love collard greens and coconut but this was more than just a sum of its parts. The seasoning has a really pleasing finish. The Masala Mac & Cheese was the standout. Who knew that curry and Tillamook Cheddar could work so well together? The Coco Bread was slightly sweet and desserty. A perfect way to sop up the remaining coconuty broth from those delicious collards. Their signature cocktails were excellent. The Love Jones is their take on a Mango Lassi and hit the same spot as a Margarita. The Beyhive is a bourbon cocktail with curry syrup. Yes, it definitely works. My one and only complaint is the lack of a vegetarian entree. I loved what we ordered but I want to try something different when I visit a restaurant a second time and there's not much else I could eat. I suspect they're working on this, though.

My photos are not great because we were so hungry I took a photo after eating some! We waited an hour for our food and service was slow over all (expect to wait for drinks etc..) but the food was worth the wait! I felt like the food portions were a bit small but the flavor was all there. I LOVED the Mac and Cheese and Greens! I couldn't believe how small the cup of greens was though for $10! The ribs were incredible - I would recommend this dish! The Butter Chicken was a unique spin on the it - personally I didn't like it but my kids did. This is a great spot for a special meal but not a place I would just pop into casually.

This is my experience during soft opening. My husband and I started with the salad and pani puri. While I liked the salad, the pani puri was the star. My husband wanted to play rock paper scissors for the last one, but I was a nice wife and let him have it. As a third starter we got the aloo tiki which was good, pretty similar to what you get at an Indian restaurant. For main, we ordered the ribs. They had such a distinct spice we both loved. Each rib did have a bite that was super chewy that we did not care for, but the flavor made up for it. The ribs came with a piece of the coco bread which we did not know it came with. We actually had ordered it as an additional side. Personally, I would skip it, although it reheated pretty well in the air fryer. Mac and cheese was great, it has a nice warm flavor similar to pumpkin spice. The space itself is very beautiful. When you walk in you see pictures of the owners with their families. Outside of the food, our server was helpful and light hearted. The hostess checked on us a couple times as well. Both chef owners came by to chat too. The two of us were seated at a long table at the end on barstool height chairs. I'm vertically challenged, but I made it into my chair OK. They do have regular 4 top and 6 top tables I hope to sit in in the future especially if my toddler comes along. On that note for families, I'm not sure if they have any high chairs or boosters for children. I did not go to the restroom either so I'm not sure if there is a changing table.

We were excited to try this place, we had frequented Our Table before and liked the space but always felt it was a little stiff. The folks at Grann really breathed some life into the spot, made it lively, chic, colorful and welcoming. I like to see a slim menu that's precise, streamlined and well thought out and Grann is checking all the boxes. Drink menu is the same, you can tell there are people with creativity and experience building the drink list. We had the Detroit Red: bold, flavorful, complex and smooth, the In Grann Fashioned: dark, velvety and strong, the Mango Lassi: thick, tart, sweet and well balanced. The food...some of the best food I've had in Washington. These people aren't playing. There wasn't one thing we tried that wasn't a 10! Pani Puri has always been one of my favorite Indian street foods, I was excited to see the Grann version and it did not disappoint. Fire!!! So flavorful and uniquely made, the crunch and the salty creaminess of the pimento cheese was heaven. It really set the stage for our entrees. When you get the heads along with your shrimp dish you know they are going to be fresh. If you're not sucking the heads you're not living. The gravy was bold and savory, shrimp perfectly cooked. I want to talk about the collard greens. The. Best. I've. Ever. Had. The coconut masala does something magical here that is hard to explain but it absolutely SLAPS! I could just eat a bowl of that and leave happy. My husband's Butter Chicken Agnolotti was creamy and tender, like literally everything else it was bursting with flavor. We finished up with Beignets and they were pillowy soft, subtly sweet with a dusting of pistachio. We wanted to try so much more but the portions sizes were perfect and we were so so full. Can't wait to go back and try every single item on the menu. All together we got: two cocktails, three NA drinks, one app, 3 sides, two entrees, a desert and our bill was 160. I think that is more than fair for what we got. The service was fast, attentive and authentically friendly, the staff genuinely seem to like their jobs and each other. The kitchen churns the dishes out like a well oiled machine, we didn't wait long for any of the food or drinks and the pacing was experienced and efficient. Restaurant and bathrooms were clean and organized. Definitely make a reservation, they get busy and for good reason! It is so refreshing to see a place like this in Tacoma. It's bold, unique, well executed but even more than that leaves you with a feeling of contentment transcending feeling full after leaving a restaurant. It almost feels like leaving a dear friend or family's house after a lively celebration filled with good food, drinks, music and conversation. Grann feeds your soul too and that's truly beautiful. In a time where countless mediocre restaurants are opening up, all selling the same underwhelming dishes, with a redundant whitewashed vibe and high prices, Grann stands out. We will be back!

I just crawled into bed. I ate at Grann about an hour ago, and I hands-down have a new favorite restaurant. That creole fish was out of this world. And the beignets with the cardamom sauce, apricots, you better just shut up. I ate myself into a food coma. When I tell you, I broke the speed limit, did rolling California stops at every stop sign, and ran through every yellow light turning red on my way home, I am telling you the truth. I could not get into my pajamas and crawl up into this bed fast enough. But I texted all my besties and let them know that we have a favorite new restaurant. They are so excited to try it. Keep doing what you are doing because this was some of the best food I have had in ages. Thank you.

The food was seriously impressive! The puri pimento bites stole the show (go ahead and order a bunch!). The butter chicken was, without a doubt, the best I've ever had! We appreciated the warm atmosphere of the place. The bartender nailed my mocktail! Big ups to our fantastic chef

Innovative, exciting menu, excellent, welcoming service and space. We've been waiting for Grann to open, and it didn't disappoint. We had the BBQ fish, masala macaroni and cheese, biryani plantains, and bhel pur, which were all delicious. Our drinks were excellent, too. Highly recommend the beyhive cocktail and the exceptional old fashioned, made with dark rum and garam masala. Exceptionally sip-able. When we return, we'll bring others and order family style. The dishes we chose balanced together well, and we had enough for at least four people. Sadly, we were too full for dessert, but a flight of beignets and date cake were on offer.

What an amazing dinner experience. Came to celebrate my mom's birthday with family and we all left sayin the same thing, the food is immaculate. This restaurant is very friendly, the place was clean, the vibes were amazing. We ordered a few different things and each meal was made spectacularly. The flavor in each bite made you realize this restaurant is one of one. This restaurant is a 5 star restaurant. We will be visiting again.

We wanted to like this place but unfortunately our experience didn't pan out that way. We ordered the BBQ Fish, Lamb Burger, and Masala Mac & Cheese. The fish seemed to be prepared nicely and the sauce it was bedded on had a good flavor-but the fish had a smell/was not dress sho I couldn't finish it . The burger was overcooked-again good flavors, but dry . The mac & cheese was pretty good. The folks next to us also had the burger and said it was dry and another couple ordered the ribs and said they too were dry. However, both couple said the butter chicken was very good. Don't think we'll be returning...

I'm so excited Grann opened! It's probably my favorite restaurant in Tacoma now. Finally something that's different and so well done. We went as a party of 4 and shared the tandoori rib plate, bbq grilled fish, masala mac & cheese, coconut masala greens, vindaloo baked beans, and gulab jamun beignets. I'd order all of that again and can't wait for my next visit when I can try other things as well

The service is top notch and they were fast! The inside is small but pretty. My friend and I didn't have drinks because we both were driving, but we had a lot of things and they all were delicious! I'll say this: Imagine breaking up with the chef and never again getting coconut collard butter or onion confit without having to pay for it. ‍ Go check it out!

From the moment you walk in the door you feel so welcome and there's a warm friendly vibe. The hostess was so kind and checked on us. The servers were really efficient and patient. The owners were really nice and you can tell they put in the effort to make this new spot so beautiful and special. And the food! Everything we tried was soooo good. So much flavor and you won't find these dishes at another place. My favorites were the ribs, the greens and burger. I have to go back to try more! So glad this spot has opened in Tacoma.

10/10 must recommend! Everything was delicious & flavorful. I'm not going to lie when I first took a glance at the menu I had second thoughts until I ordered a little bit of everything

Trailblazing, trendsetting, cool, delicious, community staple. Bumping music and busy so learn sign language or bring paper and pen if you have trouble communicating in background noise. We looked forward to dinner here for months and prioritized it on a short trip to Tacoma. I'm still thinking about the panipuri!

Everything was so great here. Loved each cocktail we ordered. Each dish was delicious. Our server was AMAZING, she had great energy and I'd go back just for her. We ordered nearly everything on the food menu and everything was great. Our top dish was the biryani though!! 10000000/10. The interior itself was lovely too, pretty busy so make a reservation!!

Maybe just a bad night,but I'm not a huge fan of open kitchens which wasn't the key issue.There is an open server/bussing spot which seemed to create unnecessary noise,plus the room itself is loud,even with a handful of guests.Service was friendly.Now,I'm a big fan of Creole,Caribbean,Soul food,BBQ and I give the owners/chefs a thumbs up for wanting to fuse Indian with aforementioned food genres,but our dishes did not impress.Lamb/beef burger was close tasteless and the bun was tough to cut through,plus there very hot peppers mixed with a nice Aioli which ruined the meal.Chef came over and introduced himself but I didn't have the heart to burst his happy demeanour.The Biriyani was lacking in beef and the Butter Chicken was hot,hot.I asked our friends if they would come back in a couple of months to give the restaurant another go.The answer was no.A shame,but,I think the cooking team need to put a bit more work on their food compilations.

I was intrigued by the southern BBQ and India fusion food. This restaurant exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was perfect it was classy but almost gave you the ambiance of a local hangout. The prices were not bad at all. The food was amazing we had the fried chicken skin which was so good. And butter chicken ravioli it had that perfect kick of heat very delicious and a kale salad that had the most amazing taste and so fresh. Definitely going back to try the BBQ ribs.

Wow. Well I accidentally showed up on grand opening night and the place was packed with joyous happy vibes. There was a dj posted up at one end of the bar but I don't know if that's going to be a regular thing. This is a fusion restaurant with a combination I hadn't heard of or tried before. There was southern, bbq and Indian vibes across the menu. I had the tandoori ribs, masala Mac and cheese and hot honey cornbread. All were awesome. My rib was just slightly dry but the flavor was amazing. The food was served in disposable trays which I hope is temporary. The quality of the food deserves a better presentation. I had a nonalcoholic mango lassi which I don't think fit the normal expectation of a mango lassi but was delicious to me. More like a mango lemonade. I ate at the bar and the folks tending the bar were very kind, social, and attentive. Lots of folks came to order their food up at the bar. I don't think that was the norm, might have been just cause they were really busy. I'll have to pop by again as they get in their groove.

Listennnnn!!!!! When I tell you that I told EV.ERY.BODY about this place after my visit, and low-key I wish I didn't and I wish I was lyin because I don't want the secret getting out. But community shares with communities and this place is definitely a must try. We had the curry kale Caesar- Delicious! And, I'm also realizing that I don't hate kale as much as I thought. We had the lamb burger- salivating as I wrote that! We had the masala Mac and cheese- can I hug the auntie, mama, gran-big mama, family, friend, cousin, ancestor that introduced this to us!? Shout out to the hands that prepared our meals, the staff who authentically slayed, and the bops that took me back! Can I also say, I'm here for the community seating. We met some great people and collectively shared in our palate explosions! Grann, see you soon! Like, next week because we have another reservation.

Pro tips 1. chicken skins are a must have (order 2) 2. try every drink on the menu if you can 3. order the ribs.... thank the chefs after 4. bring your family and tell your friends Cons 1. parking can be tough, but you can usually get lucky going down Anderson st. 2. The staff is just way too nice ;) Can't wait to go back!

Such a fantastic new restaurant. The ambiance is phenomenal. The whole place just feels so comfortable. The service is great. Our server was the nicest and we were always well taken care of. The food was phenomenal. I loved that it was like nothing I had eaten before, but somehow very familiar. The flavors are on point and novel. The quality is top notch. The whole experience felt like I was at home, but with better food. Crispy chicken skin was awesome, briani rice was killer, and the fresh fish was perfection. I didn't even have room for the ribs or beef, but when I saw them headed to other tables I decided another visit was a MUST!

The Grann kept poppin up on Insta. As me and my BF love to get out and try new things, especially involving food, we had to try. Oh my goodness, the Grann is a whole experience. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with a smile, asked if we had a reservation and seated immediately. We were approached by Denzel, who was super confident in all that he and his partner had accomplished, and rightfully so! Displayed on the walls, all the photos to capture the success. He then went on to describe the food and "dranks". I ordered the Tandori ribs with the greens, bf ordered the fried chicken skins and butter chicken. We both agreed to take dessert home with us, the beignets, of course, but not before taking an extra order of Tandori ribs to go! 'Cause, why not?!!! They were THAT good! We headed in around 5:00pm and there was already a pretty nice crowd and people steadily pouring in. Food and drinks were out promptly! This is going to be such a great addition to our community. I will definitely be returning, as they now have a repeat customer.

The flavors here are amazing - the biriyani, the beans, and the ribs! Omg - we had such an amazing dinner filled with spices and flavor profiles we didn't know our lives were missing. Can't wait to come back and try more. Oh - and such friendly service! We will be back!
