Tempting Tattie in Edinburgh, City of

We looked for it online and it had very good reviews. Being Sunday we looked on Google Maps and on several websites and everything was fine. However, upon arriving at the site after walking for more than half an hour we found that it is closed, due to construction. We are very disappointed that nowhere does it say that it is closed and it is a shame, because it looked very good.

Baked potato was amazing and they have lots of options to chose from, didn’t have to wait long for the food either

We ordered the tikka and the cajun chicken both with cheese. Great flavor, service and price!

Quite an advertised place so I decided to stop by. Interesting but not very varied menu.

Tasty baked potatoes. Loads of different toppings, very filling

A bit pricey for a potato but amazing location, portion size , very generous toppings, fast friendly service is what you get.

Yum!! I highly recommend!!! Unusual, delicious) huge portions!!

It really is all in the name "Tempting Tattie", located within a short walk from the train station and just off the Royal Mile, it's certainly a hidden gem amongst all the other small cafes in the area. It is all down to earth, no frills... just straight baked potatoes and toasties without the need of being fancy! Staff are always so friendly/bubbly and with the large amount of fillings available, you can't go wrong with any combination. The tatties are slightly overpriced but for being Edinburgh and in an ideal location, you can let them off. If you are looking for a quick bite to eat or something to takeaway, don't hesitate to be "Tempted by the Tattie!"

It's a shame there are very few seats and a very neglected environment, because the food is excellent and plentiful with really low prices. Good choice of fillings to garnish the potatoes with.

Best Baked Tattie going. Found this place through tik tok and it was a great find. Myself and my family went on our family day out in Edinburgh. Great value for money for the amount, quality and location. We got 2 baked potatoes. One tuna and one honey chilli chicken and one cheese and onion tostie. It wasn't your normal toastie with 2 bits of bread but instead a sport of baguette style. Please see pictures below to see portion size. The seating in this cafe is very cosy but the place use the space the best way they can to get as many seats as possible in. Staff are all very friendly and would highly recommend.

Lovely wee place with lots of choices and friendly staff. Would definitely come again!

Great food! Tastes amazing and it's so worth it for such a cheap price! Lovely service

Too good, I forgot to take a before picture

Best Jacket Potatoes in Edinburgh👏🏼

Perfect spot to grab a quick bite. They also have what is probably the best Avocado toast over had since coming to the UK.

Food was really nice and hospitality was good and we enjoyed it.

We’ve been wanting to try these so we ordered today and they were even more amazing than we expected, packed carefully and arrived warm.We were a bit skeptical for the price but it’s literally a full meal, worth every pound.

Perfect place for an exquisite dinner, complete and healthy food, excellent quality-price, 100% recommended

Food was delicious and very filling. Very friendly service.

Quality food. The bloke there were super friendly and so helpful. He couldn't do enough for us. Definitely going to eat here again when we're back in town.

It was my first stop in Edinburgh, but unfortunately it wasn't a happy choice. The potato with the cold fillings did not meet my tastes, and I found it difficult to digest. My Italian palate is probably more demanding, but I think there are better alternatives in the city. Terrible hygiene!

Great portion size, yummy egg mayo filling. Service speedy and friendly.

Very delicious and friendly stuff. Not too expensive

Delicious jacket potatoes, with a huge choice of fillings. Great value for money and friendly customer service. Ideal food to warm you up on a chilly day, or a good meal to fill you up before a long journey from Waverley. I visit every time I come to Edinburgh and it never disappoints.

Brilliant! Quality customer service and lovely food!

Nice and quick, you can even try toppings before ordering if they are new to you

I ordered the potato with tuna and mayonnaise and it was delicious.

It's delicious The store owner is friendly.

Small shop where they serve excellent baked mega potatoes to which you can add various types of toppings and a mountain of cheese. The staff is really very friendly, the place is small so at busy times it is difficult to find a place to eat inside, but it is worth trying. Prices in line with the city

Excellent place for a meal while you get to know Edinburgh by walking. Potatoes are amazing with any filling. I would return a thousand times. It's a delight. Mandatory stop for everyone visiting Edinburgh.

Very tasty spuds. The "singh is king" was delicious 😋 thank you

Delicious and served with a smile. Perfect ❤️

Spectacular idea and completely different menu. One of the most striking and delicious things I've tried

The portion sizes are crazy!! They give you so much for your buck. Highly recommend

Perfect lunch on a wet, cold day. We got the Mac daddy and cheesy beano and were very pleased with the amount of food, price, and taste. Would highly recommend!

Delicious!! We have been seeing these types of potatoes all over TikTok and it did not disappoint.

The best baked spuds you'll eat! Good old-fashioned soul food. You won't leave disappointed.

This is a gem in Edinburgh, delicious, satisfying, cheap food and very friendly service, highly recommended 👌👌

Excellent bean and cheese potato, and the owners are fun!

Absolutely amazing tatties. My son had a cheese panini too and that was absolutely amazing. I had chilli and cheese and it tasted unreal. Will defiantly be a regular

nice little spot for a baked potato nice and hot and cheesy on a cold day! the guy running it is a hoot even though he made fun of me for getting sour cream with beans

Super yummy! Generous portions! Fun atmosphere!

He does something similar to baked potatoes. I ate Mac Dad, Mac and Chessli was good. Portion is too big

I returned to tempting tatties after 2 years. My previous experience was poor. The potatoes served were brown inside and the owner/server at the time was very stingy with the fillings. What a change this time round. The potatoes were great, filling was generous. Will return again with more people. Price was high but fillings made up for it.

i loved the hospitality. i didn't know this culture very well, i asked for help and they helped me a lot. perfect for snack and tastes were delicious. i most certainly recommend it. i ordered patato with mac and cheese. my only suggestion was that the pasta was a little cold, which slowed down the melting of the cheese a little.

Great food in a relaxed atmosphere 😋

After two days of eating on the royal mile it was so refreshing to eat a simple but delicious baked potato and a falafel 😊

Nice respite from the royal mile. It’s just half a block off but much quieter. There is a deli showcase with all the various ingredients you can get on your potato. Got a Chana masala topped potato and it was delicious. Great midday snack that is way more interesting than coffee shop cookies and brownies.

A very British-style roast potato place. Wide variety of combinations to accompany your potato

If you are tired of processed or fried food then this is the place for you. Tasty baked potatoes with a wide range of fillings or sides. Room to sit in, or great to take home.

Small place at the end and in a cross section of one of the main streets. Highly recommended baked potato menu. Mixture of countries or flavors. Although almost everyone goes to get takeaway food, there are four tables in the premises. Nice atmosphere. Attentive and fast served. Each dish costs about 9 pounds or so but with a stuffed potato you eat very well

a bit stingy with the beans. two fork fulls and it was done

God och stor portion bakad potatis med valfri fyllning. Chili gon crazy var en favorit. Vi besökte dem som familj och alla blev mätta och nöjda.

Very tasty baked potatoes with a lot to choose from. Not overpriced like many other restaurants here - of course not the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to sit there for several hours. But perfect for a meal in between! The two of us paid just under €20 for a drink and we were full.

Amazing!!!! I really loved it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Super tasty! I came back to Edinburgh to finally really enjoy this masterpiece. I can only recommend it to anyone who is nearby and their stomach is rumbling. For around £8 you get more than one kebab for that amount.

The BEST baked potato I’ve ever had. The Iron Mike is the best with fresh and spicy chicken, delicious sauces and a generous amount of cheese, not to forget the most fluffiest and soft potato aswell. Would definitely recommend eveyone to come and enjoy this hearty baked potato!

Amazing food, lovely combinations and an onion bhaji topping that is worth a trip to Edinburgh for!!

Great discovery! It's a change from what you can find in the rest of the city. Plus the managers are adorable! Go for it if you like potatoes!! 😁🥔

Absolutely delicious baked potatoes! Very generous servings and served by delightful staff.

Amazing little joint, which serves great baked potatoes. Their toppings enhance the flavour. Perfect for a snack or lunch. We loved the hospitality too. Only suggestion would be to heat up the toppings as the baked potato is hot, but the fillings are cold.

I absolutely recommend it! Authentic place, very kind staff and good food!

The owner( I think) was the kindness person ever! So attentive and friendly making our visit 10/10! Supported with which filling to choose on our baked potato, he also threw in a free cheesecake with our order - which was so nice. Our baked potato’s and cheesecake were so incredible and so tasty. Would recommend and will be back! Amazing food and customer service

Great lunch spot! Good food, kind staff, and reasonable prices. Perfect after a long tour of the castle.

Baked potato is good but the hygiene terrible! They don’t wear gloves the lady touches all your food with her hands and touches the garbage too Please better hygiene

Great tattie and really friendly service thank you

We walked past this place and made a note to come back later. So glad we did, as it did not disappoint!! The staff are so nice and friendly and the loaded tatties are epic!!

Delicious spuds and a broad selection of fillings, halal at the time of writing. Looks a little cramped to sit in but is great for a lunchtime or early dinner takeout.

If this Store disappears before i come back to Edinburgh i am going to end it all

The food was great + nice owner :)

Large potatoes and abundant fillings, small environment, with a few tables for a quick meal. 5 star service for the very kind staff who, due to an allergen not mentioned on the menu, remade the entire course without problems.

This small business was great and original. The potato choices were yummy. The potato was done to perfection. I got the Carlito’s Way because I love spice, but there is something for everyone. If you want a quick nutritional meal at a great price this is your place. Off the beaten path, but with the trip!

Great food, friendly staff. I try and pop in every time I’m near. Never disappointed.

10/10 Jacket potatoes with the best range of fillings. Whole menu 100% Halal and homemade recipes that have been going since the 80s. A must-visit and the best food we’ve had on our short trip to the city of Edinburgh. Ordered the tuna crunch and El Carlito - potatoes soft, fluffy with a crispy skin and the fillings very tasty. The staff are extremely friendly and will guide you through the menu. They are clearly passionate about their food and it comes across.

Great potato, filling and service. Thanks!

One of the best tattie in the Scotland. I m in love with patato after eating dirty Diana.🤤 Food just waoooo

We were needing to catch a quick dinner ahead of a bus tour, and we decided to go to a place we’d walked by the previous day and thought looked good. I’m so glad we did! Who would have thought that a completely dressed up baked potato could be so good and filling. I had the Tartan Tikka potato, delicious! Big baked potato, piled high with cheese and topped with a cold Tim’s chicken salad with huge chunks of chicken. Highly recommend trying the place out and it won’t break the bank!

Went in at 20past7 for a tattie to be told there's none left. This place has gone down hill big time they've cut the choice for portion sizes, shut whenever they want and the staff are well rude apart from the chap with glasses heavy build he is brand new and I feel sorry he has to work in such a shady run business now as it used to be an amazing wee place I've been coming here since I was a wee boy and won't ever be back absolute joke of a place

Absolutely amazing, friendly staff, potatoes are fluffy in the inside but crispy on the outside. Great price for the size of potato you get

Lovely wee spot for any good tattie, easy to find and the staff are the most friendliest people ever. Prices for the tatties are brilliant especially for the size of potato you get

Fantastic tatties, staff was friendly and very welcoming, great service. Very reasonable price. Great selection of topping for tatties. Honesty would definitely recommend.

We had the best lunch!!! So many delicious options it was hard to choose. Fresh and tasty ingredients. Service with a smile!

sooo yummy and staff was soooo friendly! came here with family touring around the city and it was the perfect spot for lunch.

Uene très bonne adresse de street food avec des baked potatoes généreuses et des recettes originales. Pour les amoureux des pommes de terre. A tester absolument: le Carlito's way!

The owner was so nice, helping us pick out our potatoes - we got the Iron Mike & Carlitos Way, and both were delicious. Had a constant flow of customers, a few travelers like myself & regulars, all left happy. Very filling lunch, highly recommend!

Best jacket Tattie of my life! Great value and customer service . Would recommend over and over again :)

Absolutely disgraceful of how how our order arrived, looked like a Dogs Dinner/someone had eaten it and left half/all mushed together!!!

Went twice during my Edinburgh trip. First time was perfect, got a Cheesy Beano potato to go, served by a lovely gentleman. Potato was delicious and definitely worth the money! Second time, I went in at 6:35pm, and was told by a different gentleman that they were no longer serving food, even though they’re open until 7pm. Quite disappointing but I’ve seen this mentioned in another review so not completely surprised. I wouldn’t have a problem with them closing earlier, but at least serve food until you say you’re closed

Was in on tuesday, bought 3 meals, really enjoyed it, nothing left over, would defo come back, best of all its halal

Best Baked potato in Edinburgh. Reasonable price. Huge portions and large selection of toppings. Must try if you looking for baked potatoes.

Ever since I have been following Spudman on TikTok, I have had a crazy craving for a stuffed potato. So I saved this place on Google for my trip to Edinburgh. I was excited to try it out and I have to say that it did not disappoint. They have plenty of choices to choose from, so it took me a while to decide what I wanted. I mean, I’ve been craving it for a while and I wanted to make it count. So I toon the Chili con Carne and it was delicious! It was piping hot when I got it, so I had to stir it around a bit to give it a chance to cool off. The price was pretty fair for what you get and just one potato was quite filling! I would definitely go back again on my next trip there!

Good food! Never tried a tattie before and it was really good! Got the Indian style one which has great flavor!

Great value and friendly staff - this take-away and sit-down potato shop has been trading under various different ownership for more than thirty years.

Great jacket potato in Edinbourgh!

Friendly, good and fast. Ideal for a lunch break in a tourist area

Small restaurant that doesn't look like much but serves very good baked potato dishes. Respect small budgets, the speculoos cheesecake is also very good.

Prices were fair, staff was friendly, plenty of options to customize your baked potato

Best jacket potato I've ever had, crispy skin but not hard to cut through and fluffy potato with a lovely topping, yum!

Very good food, good staff, the best what I ate here in Edinburgh.

Absolutely DELICIOUS baked potatoes!
