Cosy and elegant - Edit
Fresh and savoury food. I got the mapo tofu with boiled rice. The tofu was silky and the sauce slightly spicy. The vegetables were crispy. They have gluten free options and desserts. The price is correct.

Sehr lecker! - Edit
Super leckeres Essen und nette Bedienung, aber das Restaurant ist echt klein und die Tische sehr eng gestellt, ist nicht so gemütlich… Reservierung empfohlen!

Kind and amazing 😍 - Edit
The ambience is so special, something between high class restaurant and botanical garden and jazz bar. My laksa was on point, spicy and hot, so I could enjoy it mindfully 😊
Read moreYou get free water (every restaurant should do this) and the waiters ask about allergies, how incredible is that (also this should do every restaurant).
Thanks 🙏
Pros: Ambience , Dish , Price

East in East - Edit
Great to have a new Malay and Singaporean inspired restaurant in Edinburgh.
Read moreWe had special fried tofu, fried rice, Singapore noodles and lion mane mushrooms. Everything was tip top and pretty well priced for Edinburgh lots of flavours and I am looking forward to going back.
Dropped in for a laksa and pineapple rice. Really enjoyed
Good option. No longer new but still a great shout in Edinburgh.

Delicious food - Edit
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!
Read moreThe 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 🤔 - Edit
A much anticipated visit to Soul Vegan, turned out to very underwhelming and left us bitterly disappointed.
Read moreCan'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 - Edit
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.

The man who souled the world - Edit
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.
Read morePros: Great service
Cons: Advisable to book, Lots of delivery drivers outside

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! 🫶
