What to Avoid (5)

Food 3

Avocado toast Net −1

“I had the avocado toast, but sadly it was a tiny portion for 45 dirhams!!”
Dubai strawberries Net −1

“The most horrible place I've ever been to when it comes to a simple cappuccino. The worst Dubai strawberries I've ever had in my life. They could have told me from the start that it was a healthy concept not to trick me with something they don't have. They told me they had Dubai strawberries so I assumed they would make it with chocolate like they do. Not to trick me with something else instead of chocolate just for the sake of selling. Absolute disgrace and the cappuccino has absolutely no taste it's absolutely horrible that's why I always wondered why there was no one in this place, now I understand why. Please never come here 😡😡”
Green pistachio cheesecake Net −1

“I ordered a green pistachio cheesecake and a Turkish coffee with sugar. They said they will get it from next shop so no problem. Excited to try cheesecake. I love sweets and pistachio BUT COME TO THE DISAPPOINTMENT no pistachio taste at all. All I can taste is the plain cheesecake, dried, old, and the cookie crumbs on the bottom.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5

Check ingredients. If you need fully vegan food, ask which dishes contain cheese or honey before ordering.

Ask gluten-free. For gluten-free orders, ask to see the ingredients first; a diner said this helped them choose safely.

Common Concerns

Showing 2 of 5

Menu clarity

One customer found cheese on the menu and was unsure which dishes were suitable for a fully vegan meal.

Small portions

The avocado toast was described as tiny for its price, and another review also called portions small.

The Bottom Line

Wild Souls is a plant-based Greek café-restaurant and shop in Downtown Dubai, inside Dubai Mall. You can sit down for bowls, sandwiches and Greek-style bakes, then browse products to take home. The curry tofu bowl, Buddha Bowl, spinach pie and Greek sandwich are among the more clearly praised choices.

The shop side is a major draw. Customers return for pistachio butter, other nut butters, halwa, jams and the vegan Dubai chocolate. The Dubai Kunafa balls are a distinctive dessert, made with roasted rather than fried vermicelli.

Sampling the spreads and sweets before buying is mentioned as part of the experience. The colorful, quirky setting has cozy seating, and reviews often describe the service as patient and helpful. Gluten-free diners have been shown ingredients so they could check them before ordering, which is useful if you need careful guidance.

There are a few reasons to clarify your order. One review found cheese on the menu, while another noted honey in some desserts, so do not assume every item suits a strictly vegan diet. Prices can feel high for the portion size—the avocado toast was reported at 45 dirhams—and one customer was disappointed by a dry, weakly flavoured pistachio cheesecake.
