Tasty stuff! - Edit
Such a range of different options, good portion size and extremely reasonable price! The vegan 'pork' was very tasty.
Read moreThe pudding of deep fried sweet potato balls I found a bit stodgy and savoury but the ice cream was nice.
Food came extremely quickly (after about 5 minutes!) I'd definitely return to try other dishes when next in Edinburgh.
Definitely book a table as there was a queue of walk ins waiting outside. Inside is very small and a bit cramped you're basically sat right next to the adjacent table. It can get very warm in there. Service felt a bit rushed after we'd finished as they wanted to get the next guests in. You get 1hr30min for your booking.

Delicious Malaysian food - Edit
Wow. This place is amazing. It's advisable to book a table in peak tourist season otherwise you may join the queue outside.
Read moreThe entire menu is vegan. What a treat. We had the satay tofu for starters. I had laksa noodle for main(includes tofu). My husband had gan lau mee (includes vegan pork). We shall be back 😁
Pros: Entire menu is vegan, Tap water is refilled by waiting staff, Friendly service
Cons: It's small and busy so best to book, N/a, N/a

Gorgeous - Edit
What's to say - the food is evidently spectacular here.
Read moreI got the laksa due to very insistent recommendations and I'm glad I did - it was DIVINE. The tofu stuff on top was insanely tasty!
We also got mapo tofu, salt and pepper lotus crisps, and pineapple rice (very chargrilled, delicious flavour - I recommend it!). Finished with banana fritters 😍
Absolutely gorgeous meal! 65 quid for the lot (we only had water to drink as we didn't fancy alcohol or any other drinks). The service is very attentive and they fill water cups very regularly which was really appreciated!

AMAZING ASIAN FOOD 😍 - Edit
Decided to go here after seeing all the great ratings whilst on a trip to Edinburgh and the food was amazing !! 💚 Our group chose the nasi lemak and aromatic pancakes from the specials board, the lion’s mane rendang, and shared tofu satay and spring rolls. The staff were very friendly and we loved our meals, I really enjoyed my nasi lemak but it would’ve been even better with less curry and more sambal beancurd. The portion sizes were huge !!
Read moreVisited again a year later, Soul Vegan is just as good as I remembered 😍 I had the cabbage rolls which were good, but the two BBQ combination rice was soo delicious, highly recommend trying it !!

Delicious and healthy - Edit
This is one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh! Also one of the very few places that is fully vegan but not based on processed fake meats which I know a lot of people like but isn’t to my taste. Food here is incredible, super tasty. Non vegans I’ve brought always love it too.

Great place, tasty food - Edit
We had a terrific meal here tonight. Malaysian vegan menu. Food was absolutely delicious. Fairly extensive menu with a daily specials board as well. Inside and outside seating, food arrives quickly. Very friendly staff. Tap water given as soon as we arrived and topped up throughout our meal without asking. Choice of beers a little limited, it would have been nice to have the choice of Asian beers.
Read morePlease note: Separate gf menu, however we had emailed in advance (as one of our party is a coeliac) to double check re cross-contamination etc which they didn’t respond to, so our coeliac family member did not feel able to eat there.

Pros: Fantastic choice of food. , Food arrived quickly. , Great atmosphere.
Cons: Limited drinks - Asian beers please not Sol !, Could be clearer re gf options/cooking. , Tables quite close together.

Disappointing main - Edit
The vibe of the place is excellent, but the tables are too close. It felt quite cramped at least in the part of the restaurant where we were seated.
Read moreWe ordered two dishes. Katsu curry with oyster mushroom (which was EXCELLENT and would deserve a 5/5 review) and the "Special deep-fried tofu" which came with a mushroom sauce. Here's where the problems start. They say it is a main dish, but the amount they serve is extremely small. Mains should be almost a full meal for most people, if not something that you could order by itself and call it a day. I do not eat extreme amounts and this dish was too little. It could be a good side to share, definitely not a main. I think they know about it and that is why they insist on you buying side rice. But shouldn't that be part of the meal if it is a requirement? The side of rice you must pay, which adds 5£ to the bill and makes the dish overall 20£. I think this is too much money for something that was not particularly impressive taste-wise either. It was okay, but the mushroom sauce did not taste or much at all, and the tofu was well coated and fried but also had nothing special too it.
I left quite disappointed and honestly felt like it was a bit dishonest.

Pros: The space is beautiful, Katsu curry
Cons: Too little space between tables, Main special tofu dish was not great

Das Essen war sehr lecker. Leider waren wir gegen Ende der Küchenzeit dort und wurden freundlich auf den zeitlichen Druck hingewiesen. War in Ordnung. Die Portion hätte etwas größer sein können.

Delicious - Edit
All vegan Asian restaurant with great options. The creamiest green curry I've ever had, with soft fluffy tofu and veg. Also had the salt and pepper lotus root and sweetcorn fritters. Everything was delicious and the portions are generous. It's not the cheapest (but you are in Edinburgh so to be expected) nor is it very big inside, so either book ahead or be prepared to wait. Fast and efficient service.

Very delicious food - Edit
The restaurant is very well limited for which reason I was only able to go there with a strict time slot at an off-peak time. The recommended dishes were both very delicious. The team was very friendly and attentive.

Incredible food - Edit
I can see why this place has mostly 5 stars! It was delicious. It was so busy inside when we stopped by, every table was full, which is always a good sign. So many incredible dishes to choose from. We got the romantic sampler and a traditional Malaysian dish with coconut rice as well as tom yum soup. It was really hard to choose bc everything looked amazing but I think you probably cannot go wrong here. Service was lovely. The person I assume to have been the owner was especially warm and friendly. I would not hesitate to come here when in the area!! I would eat here all the time if I could!😄

Amazing vegan food and friendly staff! I had one appetizer and one of the soups as my main and both were phenomenal. I would go back all the time if I lived in Edinburgh. Don’t miss out on this place!

Delicious but very expensive - Edit
I had the deep fried tofu with stir fried rice. Everything was delicious, if a little salty for my personal taste (but I have a very low salt tolerance so I doubt that would be the case for most people). Friendly staff keeping your water glass full thé whole time, and very speedy cooking. My one complaint is that the mains don’t come with a carb, so what is already quite expensive requires you to get a side too. For me, I’d prefer the price to be a tiny bit higher but come with rice or noodles or something, as paying £4-5 on top of a £14 main comes to a lot.
