Tani Modi in Edinburgh, City of

We went there three times in total because we liked the food so much. The service was always very friendly. On the last day we had the problem that the card machine didn't work and we didn't have any cash with us, but a solution was quickly found. We would recommend the restaurant to everyone!

Delicious breakfast at very reasonable prices

Had such a lovely experience out for lunch with friends! Three out of four of us decided on various pancake options - mine was the fresca and it was so delicious! I had to try a bit of my partner’s Mushroom pancake too, which was equally delicious and unique. I also got to try the pistachio latte, something i wouldn’t usually go for, and it was so, so yummy - would 100% recommend trying. The service was honestly so kind and welcoming, they all seemed to be enjoying their day - and the positive energy definitely passed on to us. Thanks so much, will be back sometime soon 😁

Marvelous and extremely delicious pVery friendly and hearty service. Coffee prep took a little bit too long but the taste and quality were worth waiting. We will come back next year 😎🫶

Nice place and people not to mantion about food, delicious!

From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, Sara and her colleagues greeted us with warm smiles and exceptional attentiveness. They thoughtfully provided a basket of toys for our toddler, bringing giggles and games to our dining experience. Service was prompt, with food and drinks arriving swiftly. The kitchen was also accommodating, allowing us to tailor our dishes to our preferences. The service was impeccable and the food delightful. We highly recommend this restaurant for an enjoyable dining experience.

I just had the most fantastic avocado salad - (generous sliced whole avocado and crushed mousse, fresh greens, tomatoes, seeds and a delicious dressing) and sensational hummus for lunch here. The hummus is about the best I have ever eaten and I should have bought some to take away. It is also incredibly good value. Why have a never discovered this wonderful place before? The menu has some wonderful items with pancakes, eggs and a general brunch feel and I will make a point of trying them on subsequent visits. The theme is situated around Rimini - thus Italian with a nod in the direction of the middle East and the service so friendly and welcoming that I felt I had dropped in on a friend. I also wish I had ordered a coffee, as it looks sensational.

We found this place by accident, but oh my goodness, this is now a MUST every time we come to Edinburgh! I had the eggs benedict and I thought that was divine.......until the pancakes arrived!!!! Best pancakes, and I do not say that lightly! Truly a little gem 🙂

Best brunch I’ve had in Edinburgh! Came back again this year and the food is always so delicious and tasty. If you’re a foodie and enjoy qualitative food, this is your place!

This little cafe down the stairs was welcoming. Staff were friendly and engaging. Nothing too much trouble. Great black coffee with the best crema. Delicious. Poached eggs were spot on.

Absolutely delicious, with kind and attentive service. 10/10

What a lovely place! The food was delicious, would recommend the octopus for anyone who is into seafood. Also couldn’t resist getting the full Scottish breakfast and elderflower lemonade #3rdtrimesterhunger 😅 the staff were so sweet and the owner lovely and even came to have a chat with us. Definitely recommend!

Always come here when in edinburgh but unfortunately attended yesterday and sorry won’t be rushing back. An order of avocado on toast with poached eggs (eggs over poached not runny and a scraping of avocado) and a morning roll took 45-50 minutes to arrive (separately). The food and service not up to usual standards we have always enjoyed.

Great food and staff that are rightly proud of their restaurant! Have been twice with my toddler now and as there are many more dishes to try, we will definitely be back again! Lovely little gem of a place I never even knew existed until 2 months ago.. don't make my mistake and just walk past it for years, go now!

Everything absolutely lovely, really friendly staff!

Seriously the best breakfast I have had. Quality ingredients and fabulous haggis and black pudding. Huge portion but I had to finish every last morsel. Toilets were lovely too!

Had a tasty breakfast at Tani Modi Brunch House on Hanover St in Edinburgh! The chef even apologized for the delay of my meal because she felt like her perfectly poached eggs were taking too long to cook! Everything was perfection and her passion shone through. Bless her!

Very delicious food and fantastic service

Its a great spot, we almost missed it, cos it’s literally a small signpost. But soo glad we didn’t. Staff were nice and friendly. Its a chill cosy place. The food was sooo good, like it was just soo good. I had the Scottish breakfast and pistachio pancakes. My sis had “shakshouka” which was recommended. Food arrived promptly enough. We relished every single bite. The owner came out to say hi. It was generally a nice welcome to Edinburgh. I would definitely be back there for lunch soon.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast with the wonderful Sarah making our experience so special! I always recommend Tani Modi to people visiting Edinburgh, and this is exactly why. Great food and staff!!!!

Wonderful food, amazing service and chefs, and reasonably priced to boot! We recommend highly. Big shout out to Sarah and her infectious enthusiasm as well as the kindness of the head chef in answering questions.

Cosy and packed with patrons. breakfast was perfect in flavor, portion and service was kind and on point even though every table was full.

This is an absolute find. Easily walked past but don't. The service is friendly and efficient and the food is great. Just go! Booking advisable.

The absolute best breakfast we had in Edinburgh. We had Pancakes, Shakshuka, smoothie bowls and the sourdough bread (and also a slice of haggis, which was the best we had on our entire scotland tour). You can watch your food beeing directly freshly made. And the people were funny and friendly. Wonderful experience!

The team at Tani Modi have this uncanny ability to make you feel right at home. You’re not a customer here, you’re family. The food truly does speak for itself (especially the pistachio pancakes), and the place is right in the centre of town. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Edinburgh, Tani Modi is a must!

The food was good, but the service was poor - mainly due to Fringe but it is what it is.

Best breakfast in Edinburgh. We ordered the Scots breakfast and the light breakfast. To add up, the toilet had everything you need, from hand cream to sanitary pads. Very thoughtful 👏

Great little spot! Stopped in here just by chance to grab some lunch and we were very happy. Doesn’t look much from the outside but the service and food were fantastic. Thank you!

Amazing food and even better customer service! The shakshuka was absolutely delicious and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend!

A small café in Edinburgh which serves the BESTTT pancakes and lemme tell you, they’re amazing. Fluffy with a lot of flavors and they just melt in your mouth. They have good combinations and so fulling. I can’t wait to be back. Cool staff that are friendly and helpful, good service too. This is a must for everyone, so make sure you try it out when you get the chance.

Phenomenal food along with great service. Good array of food options, including lemon meringue pancakes that were very unique and well worth trying. Loaded hummus was unreal too

Worst experience in this city. Waiting for 45min but food still missing. Table next to us arrived late but have the same food before us. Ridiculous service. Please avoid thid place if you have any schedule later.

The food was served very slowly. I was the first one in the morning and had to wait 20 minutes before it was served. The bread was also very hard and it took a lot of effort to cut it with a knife. The avocado was also very salty.

We were just walking around finding a place for us to have a late breakfast, and we found this café. Everything was so good and amazing. The staff are very lovely and friendly

Best chicken and pesto wrap I have ever had and a delicious brownie too. Food made with love, delightful service.

Breakfast was very tasteful with eggs perfectly fried and quality bacon. The portions were more than enough. Good cup of coffee with super fast and efficient service.

Amazing brunch spot. Their black pudding was superb, both taste and texture wise. Pistachio pancake was finger licking good as well. Owh and their lunch menu: roasted chicken (came with baked beans with spices and bacon pieces) was to die for! Plus the amazing hospitality from the waitress and chef, highly recommended! It’s just 7 mins walk from the famous monument!

The food was alright. We ordered the vegan breakfast which didn’t seem like much effort was taken to make. But the pancakes were great.

It looked perfect... But we had to wait over 20 minutes inside to get the menu... Then people after us got it faster, the food looked nice - unfortunately it was terribly tasteless. The only thing I could recommend is the coffee. The Scottish Breakfast was fine - but a small portion, and the Bennys Eggs were also a small portion and the toast was burnt... After such a long wait, we left still hungry. It's true that we got a 20% discount for the long wait - but it was still too expensive to call it a good brunch...

Came here from the US on vacation and we stumbled upon this place after not being able to get seated at two other places and can honestly say I’m glad it worked out that way because the food was great. I love a good breakfast and big portions and this place checked all the boxes. Highly recommend.

We had breakfast at this delightful little restaurant. We ordered the berry pancakes, a vegetarian breakfast and a bacon baps. My personal favourite was the vegetarian breakfast. The decor is cosy and cheery and the toilets are spotlessly clean. All three were beautifully plated, delicious and sizeable portions. In my opinion, Chef Abby was the highlight — you know your chef is putting his heart into his creations when he is singing, even doing a cheery jig whilst making them! Definitely worth a try.👍🏼

We went to Tani Modi on a whim and are so glad that we did! Everything our group had was delicious and the service was warm. Definitely add this to your list of brunch spots!

I had the best breakfast in Edinburgh in this place. Coffee is sooooo nice and staff are very friendly and happy. A must go.

I recently visited Tani Modi with a friend and was thoroughly disappointed. The place was overpriced for what it offered, and the atmosphere was unnervingly quiet. The staff were overly persistent, which made me feel uncomfortable. My chai latte was a letdown, lacking flavor and warmth. To top it off, I overheard the staff speaking negatively about customers, which was very off-putting. I expected a much better experience for the price.

Tasty food & coffee, good service, lovely staff.

Great place for english breakfast. Service was excellent with some special english food.

Great services and excellent place for spending a morning or afternoon. The toilet is amazing. It’s filled with pads and mouth wash and even hand lotion. Which is super helpful in different situations.

Lovely little place. Nice staff, tasty food. The haggis was great!

Place is below the average, needs more attention to interior, pancake yogurt 9,5/10 Egg with sourdough 9/10 Service needs to improve

I will call this a hidden gem of Edinburgh. Every part of my need was met. From the mouth watering food (I recommend all, the American pancakes for a start), the family warmth of a customer experience and top it of to a cosy and welcoming ambiance. I will definitely recommend to every single beautiful soul in the land of Scotland and beyond!!! You will thank me later!

Food was so good I forgot to take a picture. Lady serving us was the best The music selection made you feel magical You can barely tell you're in the back, the lighting is great

Breakfast with good products, it's not heavy, the quantities are niquel, the waitress was a little overwhelmed by customers and forgot our coffees but apologized and made them quickly afterwards and we got them Free

Everything we ordered was perfect. The place is very clean. The service is perfect too. And toilets are clean, spacious and with some extra hygiene items.

Absolutely fantastic breakfast/brunch spot! Impeccable service, amazing food, great vibes; nothing else to ask for! We had to return the second day just to try more things on the menu (as we were drooling over other table’s orders during our first visit) and we were even offered to provide feedback on a new item coming to the menu for free! If you are reading reviews because unsure, please do yourself a favour and give Tani Modi a try!

An absolutely amazing lunch for 4 of us, so much delicious fresh food and fantastic service for a great price in Edinburgh, the team should be proud of themselves would recommend it to anyone xa

Fantastic food, brilliant service and the chefs clearly love their work. Try the canoli.

Good quality of food and great attention from the waitresses.

Amazing place for a Berry Good breakfast. We hadn‘t a reservation but get a table for two. The staff is soooo friendly and attentive. Good food, fantastic coffee. We will be back 🥰

We had the most amazing breakfast to fuel our day here! Pancakes are heavenly, the full Scottish Breakfast looked delicious, and when they arrived it looked like a piece of art. Coffee was delicious too. Great service from an attentive staff. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing especially the pistachio pancakes 😋😍 And the staff is very welcoming and friendly! 👌 Think about booking before going.

Hidden gem for brunch. Went on 2 consecutive days. Amazing food and value for money. The staff was alsovery nice despite them being very busy. The pancakes with caramelized pineapple were surreal. Would highly recommend.

Incredible pancakes! Went on bank holiday Monday so it was very busy but managed to get a table. Staff were lovely, great service and the music choice helped create a lovely atmosphere. Food was amazing, possibly the best pancakes I've ever eaten 😍

Super cozy tent! Super friendly staff and the pancakes were fantastic! Definitely recommended to have breakfast here!🫶🏼

Vibrant yet cosy place. Had breakfast here with some amazingly made pancakes which will let you feel satisfied for many hours. Really a recommendation!

I recently visited for breakfast and was greeted with such warmth and friendliness. The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff made me feel right at home. The food was fantastic – delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Every bite was a delight, and the service was impeccable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great breakfast experience.

We were just walking around finding a place for us to have breakfast, and we found this café hidden downstairs. Everything here is so good. Food, service and atmosphere. Price is not high too! It’s the best meal so far we had for our Edinburgh trip. Highly recommended. Ps: Staff are all so good and cute.

Inside is not inspiring, in fact you might wonder long and hard about eating there, but it’s clean, and offers excellent service and food - I often have lunch and suggest you do too

Good breakfast at a fair price. We had pancakes and tea. The service was very friendly. There is only one star deducted because the restaurant was not well ventilated. Everything smelled strongly of frying, and when we got out our jackets and hair smelled like food.

We didn't book a table but we were lucky enough to get one. I ordered the blueberry pancake and an oat cappucino, my husband poached eggs with avocado on a toast bread plus a latte.It was AMAZING. We enjoyed very much. The staff were very friendly and the tunes made the experience even better.

Empty place refused to accommodate us for not having reservation.

Delicious breakfast, lots of choice and friendly service. All food is freshly prepared. We ate here twice during our trip and would go back again!

Lovely place, great food, great atmosphere and staff. Went in for breakfast Sunday, booked in again for Monday for Pancakes as they look exquisite 👌

I saw the pictures and thought pancake is a small one at first. But it’s definitely enough-quality. I ordered too much 😂

Highly recommended place for breakfast. Whether you live in Edinburgh or if you are passing through, this is a very well known place in the area and, despite being quite hidden, has a lot of customers, which speaks very well of it. I recommend the salmon toast with poached eggs, a delight (especially the slightly spicy guacamole). Both the tostas and the beagles or pancakes are delicious. They have many options within each type of breakfast, many different toasts, pancakes with many types of accompaniments, etc.

Delicious food and friendly staff.

Great food very friendly and accommodating staff. Came here to eat in our first day in Edinburg. We both had the avocado salmon toast with eggs, really good. My husband stopped in a different day to see if they had portage, they did not on the menu but the chef heard him and said I’ve got what I need to make it give me a few. And made us some of the best portage I’ve ever had.

Had a lovey Scottish breakfast here this morning! The atmosphere is nice, staff were friendly and welcoming, absolutely recommend this places.

A small underground space, very few tables, best to book. Pancakes were decent portions, felt it was a bit raw in the middle. Breakfast was ordinary. You come out with your clothes and hair smelling of cooking oil as their extraction doesn't do enough.

Perfect café for breakfast/brunch with reservation required as the place is small and rather popular. We enjoyed The Scotsman and Full Breakfast. The place is really very cute and the atmosphere warm (small downside on the ventilation/extraction of kitchen odors but that will not prevent us from returning there if we have the opportunity).

Simply spectacular, the toast with avocado, salmon, egg and arugula is delicious, it doesn't seem like it but it fills you up a lot. The pancakes with pistachio and red fruit coulis are also divine... and the coffee is 10/10. It is a bit expensive, the bill was, as I remember, about £47 for two plates of toast, two coffees and the pancakes... but if you are in Edinburgh it is difficult to get something cheap, at least paying for something that is good seems right to me.

Excellent breakfast! The food was fresh and tasty. Staff were all friendly and welcoming. Next time, we will try the pancakes as they looked absolutely appetising, but we were too full to give it a go.

Lovely food and friendly staff.

We had an absolutely fabulous breakfast here whilst in Edinburgh, a real hidden gem! Great food and friendly staff. Would recommend booking in advance as gets very busy.

Quirky little brunch spot in New Town. The chefs and staff are super friendly, and the playlist will brighten your day. Try the avocado toast/eggs with the lemon-herb drizzle and the whisky-peanut butter pancakes!

Food was mostly good once it arrived. Service was very slow, had to wait 50 minutes for two paninis and a salad. No apologies were made for the delay despite the cafe being nearly empty. Would only recommend if you're happy waiting a while for food. Service needs to improve.

Cozy place and very friendly staff. Breakfast was delicious.

Wonderful staff and delicious food! Highly recommend this as a brunch stop while in Edinburgh.

Certainly the place in Edinburgh that I will remember best when it comes to breakfasts. It was simply excellent! Perfect, quality breakfasts, served with a smile. An adorable team! When I come back to Edinburgh I will definitely go back to Tani Modi =)

We randomly found this brunch house whilst walking past, it did not disappoint at ALL. One of the best mochas I’ve ever had, the salmon and scrambled egg on avocado sourdough was fantastic. The Nutella pancakes were great too. It was clean, vibrant and the service was A1!

Their Bagel filled with Mushroom, Brie and Hummus was not the best. It feels like something I can make at home. There was no special touch to it. Same as their Cajun Chicken Ciabatta. We might have just ordered the wrong food. Though their pancake and hot chocolate looks epic (i might come back to try those)! It took about 40 mins for them to serve our food. Waiter was lovely tho, he apologised for it. It feels quite crammed and hectic when it’s busy.

Superb atmosphere, really very good breakfast, reservation at 9 a.m., there was no one there and it was quiet Very welcoming staff, it feels good. It was the perfect start to a beautiful day. THANKS

I love the atmosphere and the food. best breakfast and brunch in Edinburgh 🫶must try pancake!! 😍

Couldn’t fault this place at all! An amazing brunch with exceptional service. The pistachio pancakes were incredible. So glad we found this place on our trip to Edinburgh. Will recommend to everyone!

Small restaurant, nice atmosphere, reservation required. Be careful, very little filling for the price!

The pancakes are very delicious, as is the Italian chocolate. Perhaps, the place is missing a plus. But as far as food goes, perfect.

I went there at morning, I saw the server finished the payment with another table of customer. I asked him to pay the bill，he ignored me, put machine away and then did other stuffs-refilled cups, delivered plates. He passed our table several times but did not want to bring the machine for me. Lastly, i had to go to the counter to pay the bill. They don't know a lot of Chinese recommended them on social media without asking for any commission, this is just like a free ads, but i don't understand why they treat us differently with others.

Food was really good especially the pancakes but £3 for a very small glass of orange juice with is even fresh!!!!! . Our server was lovely so friendly and attentive but was on her own in a full busy cafe. There is also seemed to be a heated discussion going on with owner and server which made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere. Toilets are awful old dirty hand dryers on the wall wires hanging out plastic bags wrapped around dryers with tape, mouldy tiles and no hot water. Could be a great little place but really quite dirty. For the prices being charged even for Edinburgh they could afford another server and someone to take the dirty old hand dryers off the wall and clean the black mould of the tiles
