Delicious vegan junk food - Edit
Great vegan burgers and fries. It's greasy and far from healthy, so it's all about indulging.

Temple of Seitan - Edit
Vegan comfort/junk food about sums it up here. They serve various seitan and chicken style burgers along with various sides such as vegan mac 'n' cheese.
Read moreI ordered the "Temple Deluxe" comprised of a 1/4 pound patty, burger sauce, cheese, bacon, lettuce, and pickles. I think most vegans would really love this burger but I thought it was OK, this is because I'm spoiled living near the best vegan junk food place on Earth (The Butcher's Son in Berkeley, CA). I also ordered the vegan mac 'n' cheese because some other reviews said this was the best on Earth. It was good, but there is another place in London that does vegan mac better. This mac was very thick and seemed to need more flavor. Overall though, I think this is a good concept with good food and reasonable prices. I'll go back when I want to be a "bad vegan".
PS- It would be really funny if they renamed their "Temple Spicy" to "Temple 666"...you know, just because they named their restaurant Temple of Seitan.

Good vegan fast food - Edit
My expectations were so high that i can’t give it 5 stars. The mac and cheese was disappointing as it was a cashew based cheese. The kebab wrap was great but my friend ordered her burger without sauce and it came with it so she didn’t finish her food.

Taste was good... - Edit
The taste was good but the service is extremely bad, i ordered through uber eats (15/20 mins away from my home) & i ordered at 7pm - the waiting time was 50-60 mins which is still quite long but i didnt mind however my food came at 9:30pm (i was also fasting so i couldnt eat anything for nearly an hour). Taste wise it was good but definitely not worth waiting 2hrs 30 mins. The hot wings were overly seasoned (and i love spice but it wasnt the spice that bothered me) i also got nashville hot & again same problem like the wings, the totes were nice but it was very soggy and cold & the animal snack pack was the only thing that was really nice but i still was quite cold
Read morePros: Animal snack pack
Cons: Hot wings, Nashville hot

Same Temple, cool new location - Edit
Really lovely spot for the new shop, just opposite Granary Square and the canal steps. The food is incredible, as usual - there’s not yet a way to earn loyalty points, though (but that might just have been because it was literally the first week of opening!)

Hail Seitan! - Edit
If you’re looking this place up I’m guessing you know what you’re looking for, amazing vegan fried chicken sandwiches you won’t get hardly anywhere else. They have a lot of cool sides including Mac and cheese as well! I always go for the Nashville hot sandwich but I’m sure that every version is amazing.

OGs of the 2010s Seitan wave - Edit
This place is the home of Seitan fast food in the UK and they have a fantastic range of burgers and bites.
Read moreThe food is delicious, greasy, varied... Everything you want from fast food. Only downside is that it's so popular that sometimes it isn't actually all that fast.
Pros: Vegan fast food pilgrimage destination, Tasty junk fast food
Cons: Not cheap as typical fast food, Not as fast as typical fast food

Love Temple! - Edit
Temple of Seitan is amazing. They serve some of the best Seitan I've had. The portions are really generous, they have a good selection available and everything I ate was super tasty. Would definitely recommend going there.

Very Tasty - Edit
I tried the delicious crispy wings and mac & cheese, by far the mac & cheese was my favourite, little grease but definitely a dish you got to try.

Burgers and southern fried vegan seitan of the highest quality - Edit
Words cannot describe how good this place is. This is a must visit place when in the UK. The mac cheese is the best for me and sets the standard plus they always have an exciting special to keep me coming back. Love everything about this place believe the hype!

Good - Edit
I wanted to eat here for a long time as it is hyped up so much and I had very high expectations. Overall, my experience was good but after I've been following them for years and imagined what the food would taste like it was a bit of a letdown. I had the popcorn chicken which was okay, but the seitan was not really well-seasoned, only the crust, so when you take the crust off and bite into the seitan, the taste was a bit lacking. The upside is that the portion is quite generous and I had some leftover to take home. I also had a vego shake and that was just delicious, no complaints there. The space is tiny and there is barely any room to sit or stand actually, since it's always busy and people want to come in.

Not as good as Camden - Edit
The food wasn’t as fresh, the restaurant is filthy, staff are kind of careless (not vegan) but it works as a vegan fast food grub, it’s just not as great as Camden. The experience felt cheap in a way.

The perfect place to go for fast food - Edit
Everything was so good! We had to wait a bit in queue but it was worth it. If you miss fast-food style dishes but wish they were vegan, this is the place.

Average - Edit
I went to Temple of Camden not long before coming here and the setting was a lot nicer in the Camden branch. The Hackney branch could really do with a revamp inside, as it’s a quite basic and slightly dirty inside.
Read moreThe food was decent and the staff were very friendly - the donor wrap however was very salty and didn’t have too much flavour to it. Although the popcorn chicken and chicken fillets were nice.
Cons: Could do with renovating inside , Expensive , Salty

The best fast food ever! - Edit
Been waiting a long time to try this place and it did not disappoint. Ordered two burgers, mac and cheese, popcorn bites, fries and a salted caramel milkshake and it was junk food heaven! The milkshakes are out of this world, cant wait to go back and try the oreo flavour! If you are a junk food vegan this has to go to the top of your to do list, amazing! They also deliver with Uber Eats if you live close!

Only if you are in the mood for fast food - Edit
I can not remember if it was the fault of my gps or anything else, but I found this place incredibly hard to find. Once I found it, I got myself a nice order of mac n cheese, and a massive order of fried popcorn chicken nuggets. It was good, but almost too big of an order.
Read moreI also tried the chicken burger and it was really good.
