Edinburgh’s favourite brunch destination, Tani Modi, is thrilled to announce the launch of its much-anticipated dinner service.

Known for its vibrant brunch and lunch offerings, Tani Modi will now open its doors every Thursday to Sunday evening, inviting guests to enjoy a curated dinner experience led by award-winning Chef Tunde Abifarin and his talented team.

The dinner menu is a collaborative creation from the Tani Modi team, inspired by the same warmth, authenticity, and sense of community that diners have come to love.

Chef Tunde Abifarin—widely celebrated for his innovative pan-African flavours and named Be Inclusive Hospitality’s Chef of the Year—has crafted a unique evening dining experience to bring something fresh and memorable to Edinburgh.

With bold and comforting dishes, the new dinner menu captures the family spirit and genuine care that have become synonymous with Tani Modi.

Highlights from the menu include the earthy and vibrant beetroot tartare starter, the rich and succulent turkey wings main course, and a sweet finish with a poached pear dessert served with Atholl brose espuma for a Scottish-inspired twist.

As Chef Abifarin explains, “Tani Modi can be described in three words: genuine, family, and caring. With our new dinner service, we’re excited to share an evening menu that keeps that welcoming, inviting atmosphere while exploring new flavours to celebrate the community we’ve built.”

Each dish reflects a shared passion for creativity and a commitment to memorable, heartfelt dining.

Early diners are already raving about the new dinner service. “Wow wow wow! Thank you ????✨ What an experience… I felt like I was with my family—inviting, warm & comforting… and that was before, during, and after our food! Flavours to shout about!” wrote one enthusiastic guest on TripAdvisor. Another praised the team’s exceptional effort: “Absolutely amazing dinner at Tani Modi. Chef Abi and the team created a wonderful meal with delicious food and a lovely atmosphere.”

Dinner at Tani Modi officially began on October 17, 2024, and runs every Thursday to Sunday evening. Guests are encouraged to book in advance to experience the warmth, welcoming ambiance, and signature flavors that have made Tani Modi one of Edinburgh’s favorite spots.

Located in Edinburgh’s city centre, Tani Modi has recently been honoured with Tripadvisor’s Traveler’s Choice Award, placing the café among the top 10% of restaurants worldwide based on customer reviews. Celebrated for its unique blend of Scottish and African flavours, Tani Modi has become known for its excellence in hospitality under the leadership of Chef Tunde Abifarin.
