Fabulous food and lovely staff - Edit
We went to the Dynamic Earth museum on a cold Saturday afternoon and by the time we finished exploring we were starving. We didn't have a reservation, so we were really pleased to get a spot for 4 people (and a pram!) in the nearby Should Vegan restaurant. We realised how lucky we were when many people coming after us were turned away due to lack of reservations and the restaurant being full to the brim.
Read moreThe staff were VERY attentive and helpful and despite the place being so busy they didn't rush us and took time to offer us recommendations.
The food itself was spot on. We ordered all 3 soups, BBQ mock duck, Singapore fried noodles, pineapple fried rice, king oyster mushroom with lemon sauce and chips.
We enjoyed everything, especially the mains (though my 5yo loved his sweetcorn soup). The Singapore fridge noodles were packed with veg and the fried rice was so flavourful. I had king oyster mushroom with lemon sauce and it was a fantastic combo of gentle flavour of crispy coated mushroom mixed with a punchy aroma and taste of a rich lemon sauce. The char siu mock duck was also excellent - moist and well seasoned.
Pros: Excellent service and the nicest staff, Good sizes portions, Delicious food

High end Malaysian food in Edinburgh - Edit
Great food. Completely crowded with tourists on a weekend in Edinburgh. Recommend booking ahead.

Would give it six stars if I could! - Edit
This is the best vegan food I've ever eaten. It's my new favourite vegan place and I will be 100% sure to visit next time I'm in Edinburgh! I ate there twice and both times was blown away by the flavours and textures. The tofu satay skewers were just incredible. I don't think I'll be able to find better vegan food anywhere (but I'll keep trying!) and I feel so happy that I got to eat here!!

Georgeous!! - Edit
Small malaysian restaurant with great food! Everyone is so friendly there. They refill your water constantly, refilled our pot of tea with hot water and the dishes came quite fast. Even the japanese whisky we tried was great! Booking is required, it was really full.

Malaysische Küche in UK - Edit
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hat uns, trotz des vollständig gefüllten Raumes, an einen "Nottisch" gesetzt. Das war gut so, weil es dann ein gutes kulinarisches Erlebnis war.
Read moreSchnelle Bedienung, geschmacklich einmal (Katsu Curry) sehr fleischig, daher vielleicht nicht für jede/n etwas.
Die Craters waren Klasse, die Udon ebenfalls, vielleicht etwas zuviel Ingwer.

Delicious! - Edit
This is a very small restaurant so I recommend booking. It's a little bit more expensive than others but I thought it was 100% worth the price, the food was amazing and the staff were great. The special fried tofu was some of the best tofu I have ever eaten!

I was the only vegan in our group but everyone really enjoyed the food 😋 vegan versions of Malaysian dishes, which is very hard to find even in Malaysia 😅

Outstanding - Edit
We had two starters, two mains and one dessert. Every dish was delicious with also different flavor’s, making the whole experience outstanding. Before we ordered, the waitress asked for allergies. We can really recommend the tofu as a starter!

Great food, attentive, friendly staff. Small place, crowded but understandably so. Be quick as there is already a queue at 5:30 p.m.

If you’re looking for THE vegan restaurant - Edit
in Edinburgh, look no further. The place might be very crowded, but rightly so. The food is really really fantastic and just feels so authentic and well prepared, anything but five stars would be insane. Come and try out for yourself!
Read morePros: The dishes, the staff, good whine
Cons: Very busy and crowded

Perhaps the best vegan restaurant I’ve visited - Edit
This is a fantastic place. Vegan food that feels to be the original thing and not a substitute. Everything, from the gyoza to the surprising sweet potato and ice cream was precise and imaginative.

My all time favourite - Edit
Soul vegan is a fully vegan Malaysian restaurant with incredible food, full of flavour!
Read moreThe menu had lots of options so it was hard to pick because they all sounded incredible.
To start we shared the satay tofu, which was so good. The tofu was soft on the inside but breaded on the outside so had the perfect texture. The peanut sauce was so good and worked well with the salad!
My partner got the rendang lions mane mushroom. The texture of the mushrooms were great in a rendang and held all the flavours!
Then I got the laksa and I would recommend this 100%.
The broth was creamy, peanuty and a little sweet which worked so well with all the toppings (which were full to the brim). It had soft noodles, tofu, char Sui pork, green beans, crispy onions and fried dumplings. The portion was huge but I couldn’t stop eating because it was incredible!
Pros: Amazing laska, Great starters, Friendly staff

Delicious 😋 - Edit
Visited Soul Vegan for the first time in July and we’ll definitely be back. Absolutely delicious Malaysian food. I had the Rendang Lions Mane Mushroom and my partner had the Nasi Lemak & Malaysian rice (served with sambal beancurd, potato curry, archer and crispy beancurd) from the specials board. We didn’t have room for dessert but they looked amazing.

One of my best meals ever - Edit
Came here with a friend who's been a few times. Had a short wait to get in as it's very popular and a small restaurant. My friend suggested the laksa which I hadn't had before and it was honestly incredible. My brother and I make up our dream menu's and it's definitely a contender for my main course. Can't wait to return to Edinburgh to try it again.

Good Malaysian restaurant - Edit
The location is amazing, the staff is so friendly, precise, helpful and efficient. All the food we tried was very good, just a bit too fried and heavy on my stomach, but the price was reasonable and after all it was worth it.

Our Souls (and tummies) were Very happy!! 🤤🌱❤️ - Edit
I have no idea why we haven't tried here before, we don't tend to eat out much, as we often cook at home.
Read moreHowever, we booked Soul Vegan for our wedding anniversary dinner and it did NOT disappoint.
Amazing restaurant, truly authentic, creative and overall, Wow!
We had the crispy Wonton and Lotus flower for starters, both dishes were really nice.
I had the Laska Noodles, hubby had the Gan Lau Mee.
Again both dishes were amazing! Really tasty, authentic, freshly prepared with just the right amount of spice. The 'mock' Char Sui meat was super yummy, I would love the recipe!
We finished by sharing the pandan pancakes, which were lush!
Both of us left with very full, happy tummies and souls
We will deffo be back and will make sure to order takeaway also sometime soon.
A really popular restaurant, so be sure to reserve a table to avoid disappointment
