Incredible food - Edit
I got food to take away, and then managed to drag it out for three meals over the next day. It was *so* good. I was wishing for it not to end. I need to go back again before I leave Edinburgh! This will be one of those meals that stays with me for years.
Read moreI had lions mane rendang, fried noodles, crispy lotus and satay tofu. All of them were rich, full of flavour, amazing textures.
Unfortunately they are not dog-friendly (which is why I got takeaway) but they were kind and let me wait just inside the door with the dog for the food, as it was cold and raining outside.
I'd normally dock a star for not being dog-friendly... but... the food was so good I'm not xD
Pros: Incredible food, Kind staff, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Not dog-friendly

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)

We came here for our 3rd Anniversary dinner, it did not disappoint at all! We’ve been seeing the hype about this restaurant and it was absolutely delicious! It was so difficult trying to pick what to eat! We definitely over ordered and left with fully happy bellies. If you are a vegan visiting Edinburgh, this needs to be the first place you come to!

Amazing vegan Malysian!! - Edit
Yummm, this place was one of our favorites in Edinburgh!! We arrived more than 45 minutes early for our reservation, but they were very accommodating and sat us right away (definitely make a reservation!)
Read moreWe got the laksa, which I had heard so much about, and one of their specials - nasi lemak with a potato curry.
The nasi lemak was great - the potato curry was very savory and the slightly spicy tofu and green beans and pickled vegetables were also great complements. However the laksa was the stand-out for me. It was everything I wanted in a Malaysian curry - slightly spicy and so delicious. The char siu on top was a wonderful addition as well. If I lived in Edinburgh, I'd come back all the time! Also I have to mention the food came SO FAST.
EDIT: Came back and the food was just as good! My omni friend said the bbq rice dish with vegan meat was the best vegan meat he's ever had

Excellent!!!! - Edit
An excellent dinner with a great view of Arthur's seat. The staff were all lovely and work really hard. This restaurant is really good and therefore really popular. We attended during the fringe and the queues were massive. Definitely book in advance. It's worth it!

Yum! - Edit
Great food and very fast and friendly staff. We ordered the gan lau mee and two BBQ combination rice. Both were good but the rice dish was definitely the favourite.
Read moreMy partner has a nut allergy and the waitress assured us when we ordered that there is a garnish on top of the noodles which is fried garlic rather than nuts. This reassurance was lovely because we usually have to ask and clarify this ourselves at most restaurants. Very thoughtful ☺️
