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

Amazing vegan food - Edit
Amazing vegan food...and not just for vegans. Have taken non-vegan family here and they've been blown away by it. Particular mentions for the Crispy "duck" pancakes and the char sui, so tasty. Although everything we've eaten has been delicious. Friendly staff, efficient service, what more could you want!

Amazing! - Edit
We keep coming back whenever we visit the central belt of Scotland. The food is amazing, so tasty and full of flavour. It's a firm favourite, especially the lotus root and lemon chicken! We're always spoiled for choice as there's daily specials and the main-stay menu to choose from. The staff are really knowledgeable about what works together and are always happy to advise on whether rice or noodles should be selected, based on the rest of the dishes. I can't recommend enough.

For Laksa Lovers - Edit
Been here twice, the first time right after opening and now two years later. The quality of the food hasn't changed, it's still top notch. The owner is the friendliest person you can meet, loves to talk about food, flavours, traveling, Malaysia, and makes the whole place so special. If you have one meal spot left on your Edinburgh itinerary, go here, I'm begging you. If you can't decide, go with the Laksa.

Beautiful Malay cuisine - Edit
Fantastic standard menu with a great range of daily specials. The Tomyam soup was delicious - not too spicy. The Rendang Lion's mane mushroom dish was lovely as was the tofu & potato curry from the specials. I would imagine every dish is spot on and I’m 100% going back when I’m next in Edinburgh.

Absolute fantastic food - Edit
We went here on a Friday evening without a reservation (totally on us), and yet the staff still gave us a table.
Read moreThe food we ordered was define. We had the satay tofu and gyozo as starters, the kong po and mapo tofu as mains (both with fried rice), and the fried banana with ice cream and pandan pancakes with ice cream as desserts. EVERYTHING. WAS. AMAZINGGG. Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water. The mains were both quite spicy but not too spicy, just the way we like it.
The atmosphere of this restaurant is amazing too. Very modern.
I HIGHLY recommend this place. Hope to come back if I ever go to Scotland again.

Incredible Malaysian food! - Edit
The Laksa and Nasi Lemak are both incredible! Me and my partner shared so we could try two dishes and the portion sizes were amazing! The char siu (in the Laksa) was incredible and the potato curry on the Nasi Lemak was our fav! The Nasi Lemak is on the specials menu.

Good, but... - Edit
The fried noodles I ordered as a side dish were better than the main course. I also tried my friends' food and it was really okay, but still something was missing from the dishes to give 5 stars. The downside for me was the unreadable menu. There were only the names of the dishes, with no ingredients or explanation of what the dishes really were. I had to ask the staff, who were nice, about everything, but it wasn't super comfortable for me.
