We found a jem. Chef Abi's creations were delicious and unforgettable. Our server, Sarah, was super accommodating and caring. She was such a darling! The ambiance is cozy and simple. You can wear whatever you want. A great place to get your food fast. It was my first time trying black pudding and haggis. I was not disappointed! Thank you, guys! read more

Tani Modi - Full Breakfast - Cafes Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Believe it or not, was actually referred here by the staff of another local breakfast spot--also amazing--for having the best pancakes in Edinburgh & was not disappointed. The atmosphere is casual/laid-back & the food, as promised, was delicious, but what made it for me was the staff! Both waitresses--one from Bulgaria & studying event planning, & the other studying neurology, I think, we're so friendly & kind I'd likely be back, even if the food had been shite. If I'd any not to pick, it would be that the pancakes were almost too decadent--might be night to have a few options that tone down the sweetness by half--but that's clearly a personal preference & one that presented no barrier to my having licked my plate clean. read more

Tani Modi - Glazed Peach w/ Brown Sugar & Lemon Sauce Nutella w/ Whipped Cream & Banana - Cafes Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Down the steps is a quaint little cafe which has bright music and nice charm. The menu provides what every brunch-seeker desires - sweet and savory. The cappuccino and lattes were made with a skillful Italian hand by the magistrate herself. I ordered the toasted whole grain bagel with crispy bacon and scrambled eggs. The side salad of arugula was simple and fresh. The bagel and bacon could have been a bit crisper but were expertly prepared and delicious. The eggs were fluffy and nice.Silvia Colloca would approve. The Fresca salad was extremely fresh and with an austere sprinkle of olive oil was crisp and lovely. Would I have minded a hint of citrus vinaigrette - not at all but this is Italian simplicity. The pancakes with pistachio cream and raspberry couilis was luxurious; the pistachio concoction seemed to be Nutella with smoothly ground fresh pistachio - a confectionary triumph! The Nutella pancakes with whip cream and strawberries was very satisfying and cleared completely by the little one. read more

Charming little restaurant with incredibly delicious egg entries - and the Chef was playing some Amazing, fun music too. I had the Eggs Benny and Hubby had plant-based sourdough toast option (and added a poached Egg) and both were beautiful presentations with lots of flavor. Great service too, highly recommend for Sunday Brunch!! read more

Needed to find a place close to the train stop for breakfast, and this place seemed cute! It's a bit hard to find, but it's off Hanover St. And it's BELOW a building. So keep an eye out for the signs that says "Downstairs". Once in, the cafe has about seven tables, we sat all the way in the back. They have a good breakfast menu, omelettes, full breakfasts, pancakes, as well as a lunch menu with sandwiches and paninis. We had the basil omelette and blueberry pancakes. My friends said their full breakfast was the best they'd had so far in Edinburgh. read more

Once I came here (this was about 10 months ago) and had the most wonderful, flavourful meatball hero that was simply divine. Sadly, since this trip so many months ago, this has never been replicated. Tani Modi is a cute little sandwich shop/ cafe famous for its meatball hero. My issue is that this cafe gets busy at lunchtimes and their ability to cope is evident in the quality of the hero received. I find that at busy times my hero will be sloppy, cheese not entirely melted and overall is executed in a messy way. Go after lunch and you'll see the love and care taken to prepare the sandwich that will be well balanced between the bread, meatball and melted cheese. When done well, this sandwich is delicious. Coffee is ok, and there are some sweet baked treats to get you through the 3pm slump. They also do breakfasts and salads. Staff are really friendly, there is free WiFi in the basement and ample seating- though it's usually packed at lunchtime so it might be a struggle to get a table. read more

This adorbs little undergound Italian deli saved our lives. The boyfriend was incredibly hangry. I was on the verge of a similar emotional hunger meltdown. We swerved in; bluebear was too far to walk. We were too far gone. The food is so solid. The staff is super friendly. The ambiance is informal and very italian. The relationship between hungry human and food is very natural. It has an open kitchen, which makes it feel like you're in an Italian household, being forcefed too much delicious food by someone's tenacious nona. Aaaannnddd... there is a ton of gluten free stuff. Their gf cakes are incredible... by any standard. A hidden gem, if I ever saw one. read more

Cozy breakfast on the way to the train station. Good service and food was well done. Thy have a nice selection of deserts for the sweettooth. The much menu looked great. I was really disappointed I couldn't try a sandwich as the Italian sandwiches sounded good. So would I go back, yes! Service was very good for a very busy weekend morning. read more

Super cute breakfast spot in Newtown. We happened upon it in our quest for brunch at The Pantry and were so happy to have found it. We enjoyed the fresh tastes of veggies in our omelettes and bagels and I loved having a side salad. I felt both healthy and nourished upon exiting this adorable spot beneath the stairs. read more

Great food and great service! I got the avocado toast with salmon and my partner got the full breakfast! We were both very happy with the large meal at a great price point! read more

This place was awesome! Incredibly great coffee and tea with incredible breakfasts. We ate breakfast here every day we stayed in Edinburgh. We love them and will come back when we return to Scotland read more

Listen to me. Just listen. This place. I'm sorry, I can't even finish that sentence. This place is un-freakin-real. Bacon on top of pancakes with peanut butter whisky sauce. It's likeeeeeeeee. Indescribable. First off - the bacon is not comparable to American bacon. Forget it. American bacon is not even regurgitated table scraps compared to this. And the PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE. Adds another layer of amazingness. We stopped here and came back the next day desperately trying to get in even with a 40 min wait. Whatever you do, go. read more

gah - can't check in because I am a street away, can't check in there because it's underground, and while I am whinging, with a lead roof! Anyway, my review will stand the test of time and prove that 10mins ago, at 2pm, I bought a panini at Tani Modi. Did you know Tani Modi means Forever? I really wanted a piada (wrap), but they mainly contained meat, so not for me. Given that am sure the non-meat options of the world far outweight the meat, it would be nice if cafes gave a better balance, but I digress - I don't level that at Tani Modi alone. So, I opted for a panini, as it said the magic word 'artichoke'. I went for a late lunch, so the place was pretty dead by the time I got there, so not sure if there is a lunch time rush that you have to be aware of. The Italian boys behind the counter wouldn't dissuade you, and are perfectly pleasant, service with a smile! There was a bit of homebaking out, but it didn't appeal too much to me, although I did leave with a curious want for a cupcake. The panini itself was light, the artichoke disappeared with the basil, pepper, cheese and olive tapenade and a decent price. It definitely feels like a handy, if slightly tucked away, lunch time cafe. read more

Great food at this quaint little restaurant. My wife and son have a variety of food aversions and the staff was very helpful in accommodating. Actually the menu itself was fairly easy to find something that worked. But besides allergy awareness the food, staff, and location are just wonderful. We really enjoyed eating here while on vacation. read more

Where once there was Paul's Original Sandwich House (P.O.S.H), now there is Tani Modi, a little Italian deli. Their speciality is piadas, which are the Italian take on the wrap. Fillings are really impressive, with the soft cheese, prosciutto and rocket one that I tried proving to be mighty tasty. Their soup is very good, too. Overall, we said: "I was really impressed with Tani Modi. It starts its journey at a really high quality level, so I'm optimistic that it can develop into a real favourite. It has some competition, nearby, but I think it's offering something a little different, so has a good chance to carve out its niche. I'd happily recommend it to you, as a great lunchtime stop." read more

We ate a portion of full breakfast and blueberry pancakes. It was so fresh and absolutely delicious. The pancakes are a must try! Their gingerbread latte was great as well. Beautiful place. Great interiors. Very cozy and tiny read more

Really well done breakfast, lunch brunch place. Fresh ingredients, cosy environment and friendly service. Very much like your mom pop restaurants. We ordered a ham & cheese omelette, ham Parma panini, Salami Milano pesto panini and a spinach soup. All four things were lovely. It's next to Urban Angel, but I believe it's more authentic and no nonsense straight up good food that hits the spot and leaves you feeling healthy and not bloated. Highly recommended! read more
