Vegan Malaysian heaven in Edinburgh - Edit
This is one of the best vegan restaurants in the UK and easily matches the top places in London and, wider, Europe.
Read moreWe visited mid-week after the restaurant re-opened at 5 p.m., with a queue already formed outside. This is a very popular spot—and for good reason!—and I would strongly encourage booking a table in advance.
The food is simply incredible. It’s packed full of deep Asian flavours, fresh, fragrant and beautifully served—so delicious you want to experience it all over again straight away.
There is quite limited seating inside the restaurant, but that’s what gives it its warm and cosy vibe. Staff are very welcoming and friendly and prices are as expected for Edinburgh city centre, with the restaurant only about 10 minutes’ walk off the Royal Mile.
If you are a vegan in Edinburgh, this is a place you will not want to miss. I would give it six stars if I could. I recommend it to everyone and hope to be back soon.

Nice! - Edit
The two noodle dishes we had were nice, but not mind blowing. As someone who can’t eat mushrooms, their menu was extremely limited though, so maybe it was a matter of bad choices.
Read moreThe desserts were very good and I love that the place was exists.

Soul Vegan - Edit
Unfortunately, it was fully booked when I stopped by, so I’d strongly recommend prebooking at the weekend. They were still offering takeaways, so I ordered for delivery. The food arrived quite quickly considering how busy they were. It had nice flavours, but was a little soggy — I think I’d have enjoyed it more fresh while dining in.

So so - Edit
Very small and busy spot with only a handful of tables, so make sure to plan for a bit of a wait. Overall not bad but small portions and quite expensive for what it was. Have been to several other non-vegan specific Malaysian restaurants and gotten better options for half the price.

Lovely all-vegan restaurant - Edit
With so many positive reviews, I won't write an essay - but will echo that this is an excellent restaurant, with lovely food. It was very busy when we were there, so it seems like a place you have to book. It's quite compact and felt a bit crowded, but still a nice atmosphere. Well worth a visit!
Read morePros: All vegan menu, Tasty food
Cons: Felt a little cramped

So So Good! - Edit
Soul Vegan is one of the best plant-based spots in Edinburgh. The Satay Tofu and Sweetcorn Fritters were full of flavour with great texture.
Read moreThe Laksa Noodle was rich and aromatic, and the Rendang Lion’s Mane Mushroom delivered proper depth with a lovely bit of heat. Staff were warm, timing was spot on, and the whole place has an easy, welcoming feel.
Brilliant vegan, absolutely worth a visit.

Amazing vegan Thai - Edit
Big portions of delicious vegan Thai food, bring your appetite! We shared the aromatic duck pancakes before our main courses and it was the best I'd ever had!! Friendly staff, very small restaurant so make sure you book in advance as space is limited

Delicious vegan Asian - Edit
As a visitor to Edinburgh, this is a really cute little place, and was packed out even at a lunchtime- which was a good sign!
Read moreI could have ordered everything on the menu, but had to choose, so went with the satay tofu, and the Soul’s special deep fried tofu, double tofu for the protein. It was delicious, and both came out really quickly, no waiting. I will be back
Pros: Delicious food , Quick service , 100% vegan (and organic)
