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.
