Incredible flavours - Edit
Hands down one of the best vegan meals we've ever had. We've been vegan for over 4 years and during that time have travelled around Europe sampling as many different restaurants as possible. After a long day in Edinburgh we called Soul Vegan to try and get a table and despite the fact it was Saturday and they were very busy they did their best to get us a table.
Read moreAs we're not familiar with Malaysian cuisine the staff were extremely helpful with helping us choose a few dishes.
We ordered the satay tofu, salt and pepper lotus, Laksa, and Gan Lau Mee (between 2 of us). Very generous portions (we could not finish everything) and absolutely incredible flavours!
PS: we highly recommend trying the Laksa!
Pros: Food, Staff, Location

DO NOT GO HERE IF YOU HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY - Edit
Everything in this restaurant contains peanuts and even the non peanut dishes are cooked in the same wok. Peanuts didn’t even cross my mind when I was in Malaysia and were not an issue. The food that I did have was too plain and I would not recommend.

We had really tasty dishes and did not have to wait long for the food to arrive. The only negative thing was the location, it seemed a bit overcrowded (which is a good sign anyways). Definitely recommend!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had - Edit
I came here for dinner on the weekend with my partner and a friend and the food, the service and the atmosphere were all incredible! We had a bit of a wait to get in as we wanted to sit inside and didn’t have a reservation but it was 100% worth it! I had the fried mushrooms and the Laksa and the Laksa was one of the best meals I have ever eaten! The service was also superb with regular top ups of water and kind, friendly, helpful staff who were wonderful even though clearly they are very busy during the Fringe! I will absolutely be back and recommending Soul Vegan to everyone I know.

Fantastic Food & Fantastic Staff - Edit
We went here on a busy evening during the Edinburgh Fringe & despite not having a reservation, the staff were very accommodating & found us a table. The food is all freshly prepared so given how busy they were, we did wait a while but it was worth it. We loved it so much we went the following evening between shows & again, the staff were very helpful when we said we were short of time, suggesting dishes that were the quickest to prepare.
Read moreThe Katsu Curry King Oyster Mushroom & Singapore Fried Noodle dishes were particularly delicious.
Pros: The food, The staff, The location

Almost perfect, depends on the dish. - Edit
This place is great. Undoubtedly one of the best vegan restaurants I’ve been to. The service was great and the Gan lau mee with char Sui and Wonton was amazing.
Read moreHowever, the Laksa and Tofu satay weren’t brilliant. The satay sauce was great but the tofu itself wasn’t particularly well cooked. I would prefer something a bit crispier. The laksa was a mix of fake meat, noodles and crispy gyoza (I think), but there was a distinct lack of vegetables, and the noodles were quite tasteless.
Don’t get me wrong, this place is still amazing, but I really think it depends on the dish you order. I think details of the food on the menu would help with picking the right choice.

We will return! - Edit
Very tasty food. Attentive service (from the owner, I assume). It’s a tiny little restaurant, a short walk from the busiest parts of the city. Fully recommend!

pretty good - Edit
good flavours, generous portion sizes... the description of the dishes was not selling it to me but the reality of them was very good with more variety than it seems by reading the menu
Read morethey kept the tap water topped up without us asking which is nice
small nit picking, a bit of a tendency towards carb heavy dishes and the desserts options were only warm, which I don't like at all
I still left the restaurant satisfied, and happy, great evening
Pros: portion size, flavours, good service
Cons: the text description of the dishes, carb heavy, only warm desserts

Belle découverte - Edit
Très belle découverte, accueil charmant, très souriant, service rapide 😁 La cuisine malaisienne est très parfumée et très savoureuse. Nous avons adoré les chips sel et poivre, ils étaient imbibés d’une sauce vinaigrée sucrée étonnante et vraiment très bonne. 😋 Nous validons la spécialité de la maison, le deep fried tofu. Le Green curry tofu était aussi très bon, mais un peu trop épicé 🥵 On y retournera, c’était vraiment très bon.
