Tasty but Pricey - Edit
I went to Soul Food because I had no others option, but it turned out to be a great find in Valletta. Although I thought that the vegan menu was a bit pricey, the piadina with avocado and hummus was delicious! When I finished it, I had to control myself to not order a new one.

Pros: Good menu with vegan options, Homemade piadina, Delicious and nutritious
Cons: Expensive

Great vegan food! - Edit
We loved this place. Centrally located, outdoor seating with a mister to stay cool, and great food! Vegan items clearly marked on menu, they had a chalkboard sign saying VEGAN FOOD and knew what it meant etc.

Great Vegan Sandwiches - Edit
Soul Food was a great find in Valetta, as there are not many places catering for vegans, so we went for lunch. There was plenty seating undercover to get some respite from the hot sun, but you could also sit outside if you wished.
Read moreThere are plenty vegan options on the menu, with a couple of desserts and even clearly labelled vegan wine on the list too. We both chose avocado piadina without the vegan mayonnaise for me and on gluten free bread for hubby
.
The sandwiches were packed with filling, no skimping here and as I love avocado and houmous, it was pretty much my favourite sandwich. The piadina is a traditional locally made flatbread and hubby thought the gluten free bread was amazing and when we had a chat with the owner, he said they had tried nine different gluten free breads, before he was happy to serve it at Soul Food.
Soul Food is an oasis for vegans in Valleta and is highly recommended.
Pros: Vegan options, Vegan desserts

Delicious - Edit
The food isn't bad and staff are very friendly, I gotta get this out of the way first.
Read moreIn my opinion it's one of those typical touristy places and I did miss "soul" aspect about their food. The fact that they offer several vegan options doesn't mitigate the fact that they serve flesh too. I guess you can stretch the term Ayurvedic these days.
We did really enjoy our food, even though it might have been a bit pricy.

Worst meal I've had in ages! - Edit
Watered down strawberry nesquick and a lentil burger that looked like cat meat in a wrap with a smidge of limp salad and something yellow that oozed out. Terrible!
Read moreCons: Disgusting food., Over priced., Watery milkshake.

Bland and overpriced - Edit
Had two types of pasta and some soft drinks.
Read moreThere's not much choice if you want a warm vegan meal. The portions were a bit a bit small for price and tastes bland. Staff wasnt very attentive but the localisation was good.

Tasty and colorful - Edit
I was gladly surprised when my Tofu Buddha Bowl arrived to my table. There was plenty of flavors and food, actually I was not able to eat all of it.
Read moreThere were several vegan options that looked interesting to try.
I recommend this place also if going with non-vegans, my friend enjoyed it.
Pros: Several vegan options

Overpriced and mediocre - Edit
Overpriced for what was to say the least a mediocre pasta dish. Beer was around 4 times the cost of the local beer which was not available. Disappointing.

Healthy vegan food - Edit
Clearly labelled vegan options.
Read moreMore health food rather than junk food.
Loved the tofu Buddha bowl! The marinated tofu was soft rather than firm as I usually have it but it made a nice change and was delicious with the bread, hummus and veggies. Perfect for lunch.
Seating is outdoors in an enclosed tent (as are the other restaurants in that street).
Pros: Clearly labelled vegan food, Delicious Buddha bowls
Cons: A bit expensive

Nice place - Edit
Went here only once, had a really good budda bowl.
Read moreMost of the menu is vegetarian or vegan, they have a couple of meat dishes so it's not 100% Vegeterian.
The restaurant is quite small and was really crowded. It was quite upsetting seeing people who arrived there after me, being accommodated before me.
Pros: good food, right price
Cons: staff not that friendly

An ok experience - Edit
Went there twice during my stay in Valletta. The first time was nice (had Buddha bowl), the second time not really. The place was very busy and because I was alone I wasn’t allowed to occupy a table. Instead I was told to sit inside at a counter of sorts where the staff were running back and forth behind my back. Also, the music was very loud. The Mediterranean pasta wasn’t very tasty either.

Buddha bowl was good! - Edit
My girlfriend and I pinned this as somewhere we wanted to go for lunch. It definitely feels more lunchy than dinner. The vegan buddha bowl is great - a sauce would be my only suggestion for it. The hummus is good, but something else to dip into would be a bonus. Other than that, i would highly recommend visiting this place if you're looking for a vegan bite to eat in Valletta!

Healthy but better for vegetarians than vegans - Edit
We had a Buddha bowl and a lentil burger. Both were tasty and healthy. However they do lactose free cheese but not vegan cheese. They also do egg pasta dishes but no vegan pasta. I found this strange as dried pasta and vegan cheese are so easy to obtain nowadays and would broaden their menu for vegans so substantially. Worth a visit but I'm not inclined to go repeatedly.

It was very delicious but also expensive, especially considering the small meal size. The 3 sauces and the chocolate salami were great though.

very nice indeed - Edit
I had ayervedic Buddha bowl. It was very tasty. Nice place. Polite staff, friendly and warm. On our second visit I had vegan Buddha bowl again really enjoyed it. Very clean and pleasant tasting. So healthy, with spinach, beetroot hummus, corn, red cabbage, radish, I loved it here, felt really catered to as a fledgling vegan. Oh but the chocolate salami wasn't anything to write home about.

disappointing ... - Edit
We visited Malta in October and it was a challenge to find places offering vegan food. We thought that the soul food could have been a good option. But reviews sometimes can be misleading ...For Malta maybe OK but if you have experienced good european restaurants you will be disappointed.
Read moreFood was not good and service not really excellent - I do not share the enthusiasm of other happycows contributions - For me: room for improvement.

Cons: expensive for Malta, No atmosphere - Tourist place

It was fine but not great - Edit
My husband and I went here because it was advertised online as having vegan meatballs which they actually didn't. Was quite expensive for what we got and wish we had visited the grassy hopper instead.
