Delicious food

It's gonna be very hard to forget the taste of the food me and my friend got here! From the starters till the ice cream, an explosion of flavour occurred every bite!
The restaurant was full on our arrival so I recommend making a reservation in advance.
Water is being refilled very often, portions not too big and good to share!

Pros: Lotus roots, Gyoza, Fried rice

Cons: Fast paced service

Soul Searching 🤔

A much anticipated visit to Soul Vegan, turned out to very underwhelming and left us bitterly disappointed.

Can't fault the house red wine, katsu curry with king oyster mushroom and the sweetcorn fritters, which were delicious, but the salt and pepper lotus roots were lacking seasoning and the Rendang lion's mane mushroom was so dry and inedible. I'm still baffled by that rendang a week later after visiting 🤔.

Our visit was also not helped by having to stand outside for a good 5-10 minutes with our 6 year old son in the freezing cold Edinburgh weather, whilst they prepared our table.

Would I return again? Possibly? Was it an off day? Maybe? One thing is for certain, don't order the Rendang!

Go for the Laksa 100% mate - one the best things I’ve had in a very long time

Great service, but the food doesn't deliver the punch it once used to

Having been here during a previous visit to Edinburgh a year ago, the flavours were more intense which made the dining experience far more enjoyable. This time though, it felt that the flavours were lacking. The service was great as always.

Pros: Great service

Cons: The flavours weren't as punchy

The man who souled the world

I think I may have found my ultimate South East Asian noodle soup bowl. My Laksa was absolutely drenched in flavour and full of delicious surprises including various types of tofu, vegan chikn and wontons. The spicy chilli and coconut infused broth was unreal. I was delirious with hunger and excitement. We also had a mushroom katsu curry which was superb. I’d also recommend one of the soups to start but there’s so much on the menu to choose from it’s difficult to keep your wits about you.

Pros: Great service

Cons: Advisable to book, Lots of delivery drivers outside

Authentic Asian food - but plant based

I had a wonderful dinner at Soul, savoring delicious Asian-inspired dishes in their vegan versions. The owner is incredibly friendly and offers great recommendations to suit your taste. Can’t wait to go back! 🫶

Amazing food

Wow what a brilliant place, we tried the laksa and the pineapple rice, both were so delicious. Do not miss this place and remember to book as it was packed even on a Sunday night! Really lovely staff, so much to try I wish we had time to visit again.

Laksa of my dreams

I think about the Laksa from Soul on a near-daily basis. I think it’s my favourite dish I’ve eaten in the past five years. The balance of spiciness and creaminess, the flavours, the faux meat — honestly I could go on and on.

Don’t get me wrong, Soul is all-round incredible. So many other amazing dishes, the satay tofu and the bbq combination rice are other favourites. But I will always come back for the Laksa.

The staff are so lovey too, and try their best to squeeze you in even when you don’t have a booking (it’s small and gets really busy so definitely DO book if you can). One of my absolute fav places, highly recommend ♥️

Pros: Flavours!, Lovely staff

Perfection!

We were lucky and got a walk in spot, but I’d recommend making a reservation! We had the gyoza, satay tofu, and Soul’s special deep fried tofu. All were flavorful and delicious!
