🍽️ Grann Brings Southern Fusion to Olympia

BBQ Meets Indian Spice at One of Olympia’s Most Unique New Restaurants

Olympia’s food scene just got a bold new flavor profile. Say hello to Grann, a brand-new restaurant that’s blending Southern BBQ, Indian flavors, and Creole influences into a dining experience that’s as creative as it is comforting.

Located on 6th Ave in Olympia, Grann is more than a place to eat—it’s a story of family, heritage, and food traditions coming together in unexpected and delicious ways. The restaurant just celebrated its casual grand opening on April 4, and early buzz says this is a must-try spot for adventurous food lovers across the South Sound.

What’s on the Menu at Grann?

Grann offers a unique culinary mashup that’s rooted in Southern hospitality and spiced with bold global flavor.

Here’s a peek at some of the standout dishes:

🔥 Tandoori Ribs – Fall-off-the-bone BBQ meets Indian-style marinade
🍔 Masala Lamb Burger – Topped with mint chutney aioli and Tamarind BBQ sauce
🧀 Masala Mac & Cheese – A soulful Southern favorite with a warming spice twist
🥘 Indian-Inspired Starters – From crispy samosas to fried okra with curried remoulade
🐟 BBQ Grilled Fish – A fusion take on a Creole classic, kissed with spice and smoke

And don’t sleep on the vegan options—Grann is plant-forward friendly, offering dishes that don’t skimp on flavor or heart.

Why Grann Matters for Olympia

Olympia’s culinary scene has long leaned toward farm-to-table and Northwest-inspired fare—but Grann breaks the mold by embracing cross-cultural fusion with deep soul and intention.

Here’s why it’s a big win:

✔ A New Kind of Comfort Food – Familiar enough to feel nostalgic, bold enough to feel new
✔ Family-Driven – Grann is inspired by generations of family recipes with global roots
✔ Expands the Local Flavor Palette – Olympia foodies now have a place to try something entirely different
✔ Culturally Rich Dining Experience – Combines the storytelling of Southern cuisine with the depth of Indian and Creole spices
