Delicious Malaysian food - Edit
We came here in between shows at Edinburgh fringe. The service was quick and the food was delicious. We had the laksa, specials starters- lions mane skewers & cabbage balls. Skewers expensive for the portion size but so tasty. Really delicious flavours across the board. Cabbage balls had a crispy breadcrumb coating. Would love to return to try more of their dishes

Our favourite restaurant in Edinburgh! There’s a huge variety of dishes, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The flavours are rich, intense and really well balanced. The service was quick and the staff was super friendly. Definitely highly recommended:)

Disappointing - Edit
Definitely didn’t live up to the hype. I felt the food lacked depth. Perhaps I’m spoiled because I’m so local to Suissi Vegan Kitchen, who do vegan Malaysian food that’s a different level.
Read moreFood aside, the staff spent most of our visit ignoring the customers while they loudly debated amongst themselves whether they could ever be vegan. Odd when you work in a vegan restaurant. Makes me wonder if it’s really vegan management, and if not that leaves a bad taste in my mouth!

Get the laksa! - Edit
There was a huge queue which was great to see a vegan business doing so well. It went quickly and we were seated in about half an hour. The laksa was so tasty, I would definitely recommend this.

Absolutely delicious! 💚 - Edit
It’s a little restaurant with a few tables outside and inside. It’s not very spacious, so be early or book a table previously.
Read moreThe food was amazing, beautifully prepared and fresh.
We‘ve had the Laksa Noodle dish and the pineapple rice and both was absolutely perfect, we loved it.
Definitely recommend without a doubt.
Reasonable prices, nice and thoughtful staff.

We were lucky to get seated immediately during festival season but they turned the tables fairly quickly without making us feel rushed. Absolutely delicious food!

Delicious! - Edit
The only con of this restaurant is that you want to order all of the dishes!!!
Read moreAlso, the portions are really generous.
I spend only 3 days in Edinburg and I made a priority to go there once again, even if there was other vegan interesting places to check out, because it is simply amazing.
On top of all of that, the have tables outside, you can eat looking at a gorgeous view of a old church and mountain.

Mind blown. One of the best food I ever had. Two of us ordered wait too much as we wanted to try everything and it was so tasty. Still dreaming about this place.

Good but very over priced - Edit
We spoke to a girl working there that said she would get us the next table and then she forgot about us and seated the next walk up, we had to go remind her that we were waiting, not a big deal but annoying. The dishes that are sauces don’t come with rice, it costs extra and it is expensive so your meal becomes overpriced. Our meal wasn’t a lot of food but it was pretty tasty, the seitan and rangoons were good. I wanted to like Soul Vegan but it was too overpriced for the food and experience. We met a nice couple there that also commented that the prices are too high for what you receive. I wouldn’t go there again or recommend it.

The best vegan food in Edinburgh - Edit
I’d recommend arriving early - they stop seating 45 minutes before the restaurant closes. The area around the restaurant is beautiful too.
Read moreWe could also ask for takeaway. The food is AMAZING - we tried 3 dishes and all of them were perfect.
A must-go if you’re in Edinburgh, definitely.

The best vegan food in Edinburgh - Edit
I think Soul has got to be the best vegan spot in Edinburgh. All the menu items are delicious, but my favourites would be the satay tofu skewers, and the gan lau mee or rendang Lions mane mushroom. So good!

Overrated - Edit
In the minority here but this place is distinctly average. Starters (bar one) all deep fried, lacking flavour and served with generic sweet chilli sauce. Lions mane rendang was a brown oily slop with nothing fresh or vibrant about it. Katsu on par with Wagamama but a higher price. Having visited Non Viet the previous evening, Soul pales in comparison if you’re after authentic high quality Asian cuisine. Was expecting to be wowed given the buzz around it, but left disappointed.
