Tani Modi
About
Tani Modi is a family‑run brunch house in Edinburgh’s city centre that fuses classic Scottish ingredients with bold international flavours. Since 2013, it has earned a reputation for legendary pancakes—especially the pistachio‑strawberry and banoffee variations—alongside a full Scottish breakfast, plant‑based options and light bites. The café partners with Rafiki Coffee, an ethically sourced roaster from Rwanda, delivering rich single‑origin brews that complement every dish. A warm, welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it a favourite for locals and visitors alike, and its recent Traveller’s Choice award recognises the quality and authenticity of the dining experience. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick coffee, a hearty brunch or a relaxed lunch, Tani Modi offers a memorable, affordable culinary journey in the heart of Edinburgh.
