So much more than words can transmit

One of the ultimate stand out vegan places I’ve ever been to in my life. The three of us had their famous £22 Sunday Roast extravaganza each selecting a different meat (roast chicken, lamb and turkey). You are also provided with a Yorkshire Pudding then it’s self-service vegetables and all the usual trimmings such as sauces, stuffing and lashings of gravy. I had a bit of everything, piled my plate high then proceeded to devour the whole feast with a pint of their delicious Posh Lager overlooking Petticoat Lane Market. Not a bad way to spend an early Sunday afternoon before hitting The Oval for some T20 cricket action.

Pros: Amazing food , Wonderful staff , Ethical interior

A cracking roast!

Unity Diner have delivered a great vegan alternative to a traditional pub cravery. It probably wasn’t the best meal I’ve ever had, but it was tasty and filling and hit the spot - which is exactly what you want from a Sunday roast! You can choose your main (chicken, turkey, lamb, nut roast or mushroom wellington) then you add as many toppings and sides as you like. You could even go back for seconds (although we didn’t manage to do that!)

Pros: Completely vegan, Serve yourself (bar main + yorkie) so customisabl, Decent prices for location and quantity

Nice to see it back

First time visiting. Lovely to see this place had a chance to try again after reopening.

Me and my husband enjoyed our visit and did say we'd go again!

Chips were banging and my husband's steak was lovely.

Did find it a little pricey for what it was.

Pros: Flavour

Cons: Price

Great meal & service

Had a wonderful and memorable meal here (23 Sept). I thankfully did not over order which is easy to do when dining solo ☺️. Great wine, food was delicious and perfectly prepared. Loved everything!

Pros: Solid service , Great variety on menu, Dessert & espresso martini

Amazing place!

Went here after many years away and I enjoyed the food and I love the ethos of the place. ‘Tofuish and chips’ was amazing!

I did feel the service was a tad awkward though in the sense that I wasn’t made to feel welcome.

Pros: Great food, Vegan, Not for profit

Best Vegan Steak I've Ever Had

The vegan steak I had here makes me want to move to the UK.

I also had the fish & chips, which I feel were pretty fishy! (In a good way)

Fabulous

Realising I was nearby thanks to a work trip but with only 40 mins to dedicate to the place, I opted for a small plate of shitake mushrooms, skewered and grilled (gf) plus a dessert of sticky toffee pudding with ice cream (gf). All fantastic, the pudding was sublime as it's rare to find a decent vegan and gf hot desert. Staff were very accommodating as I had little time on a quiet Wednesday afternoon. Looking forward to returning some day.

Pros: All vegan, Gluten free options, Sticky toffee pudding

Exceptional Tofu Fish

I was visiting London and I was looking for a pure Vegan Restaurant in the Spitalfields area. I’m lucky to come across this gem. I had the tofu fish and the corn small dishes. Both were excellent.

Sunday carvery! ✨

Came for the Sunday carvery and luckily booked a table the day before😄
It was very busy but you might get lucky with walk-ins!
The roast was super tasty and the veg/potatoes are helping yourself. You can also go up a second time for extras of the sides. The cauliflower Cheez wasn't very creamy or cheezy but the creamy leeks were good! Can't believe the vegan Yorkshire puddings! £22 for the roast and you will leave full!

Lovely Sunday Roast

We had the Sunday carvery which was delicious. You get one "protein" choice (mushroom wellington, nut roast, or a "meat" selection) and then as many trimmings as you like and you can go up for seconds or thirds of the trimmings! Perfectly balanced with flavour, the service is good, atmosphere is good and no animals exploited...which is also good!

The best carvery!!!

I highly recommend coming here for a fully vegan Sunday carvery. I think it is very reasonably priced at £22 per person (£10.50 child) and the food is amazing 5 different main protein options, Yorkshire puddings and lots of sides. Superb!!! Be sure to book a table in advance because it gets BUSY.

Fantastic food & atmosphere

Unity Diner offers a fully vegan menu plus cocktails with classics such as Fish & Chips in a vegan version. The Fish & Chips were simply fantastic as well as the other dishes we tried - from starters to mains to desserts everything tasted amazing and was very well presented.
The staff is also super kind and the whole atmosphere in the Diner was chill and inviting.

Pros: Fully vegan, Vegan Fish & Chips

Non-profit

Nice locale, but small portions as no side dishes are included. The tofish was not what I expected.
They charge 50p per customer as donation to a sanctuary (really small donation) and 12.5% for service. I think a vegan restaurant should pay properly especially when it's a non-profit.

A gem!

This has a lot of cool items on the menu. I had the Steak 2.0, with veg. The broccolini came out a bit cold and I wish there had been a gravy, so that's why I'm not giving full five stars. It tastes good, though, and the staff was very friendly.

Loved the vegan carvery!

What a treat to have a sunday roast with all the trimmings AND a Yorkshire pudding - which was the best I've had since being vegan!

You choose your main and yorkie then can go up as many times as you like for the sides and trimmings.

So much to choose from, not just your usual veggies but cauliflower cheese, gratin and even crackling!

Also loved the pineapple lemonade which was refreshing to wash down the roast.

Staff were super friendly, the perfect Sunday afternoon!

Great place for dinner

Menu and space has an elevated feel, but not fine dining. The Steak 2.0 is apparently 3-D printed w/ various vegan proteins, sort of Meati-style but not mushroom based. Served with some twice fried style potatos and an oily sauce. It was good, but lacked distinguishing flavor. What made this 5 stars was the drink ‘Piers Morgan’s tears’ , I had the N/A version, super good, not a gut bomb like many mocktails can be. Relaxed, friendly service. Thank you!

Pros: All vegan!, Great bartender & actually good N/A options, Friendly, relaxed service

Best fish and chips ever! This place is amazing

I knew this place was going to be good, but I didn’t know it would be this good. I loved everything I got here and they have a great menu. The service is also wonderful and I like the decor, it’s chill but nice inside. It’s perfect!

Pros: Fish and chips, Red velvet latte

Veganised “normal food” done well!

Great service and meeting on arrival ! A menu that really caters for all ! We had the bacon burger and tofish and chips with a side of cheesy chips - the chunky chips are SO GOOD! Would highly recommend! Also a small donation goes to an animal sanctuary on your bill - a great touch!!

Pros: Service, Donation to animal sanctuary , Great menu variety !

Great fish and chips and mocktails

Went here for some vegan fish and chips and I loved it. My husband and I debated on the best vegan fish and chips in London and I think it was here. We also had the side lobster mac and cheese which I thought was good but a little to rich for me, especially after fish and chips. The cocktails were fantastic. I had my eye on a sticky toffee pudding, but sadly no stomach capacity. Lost opportunity:(.

Pros: Delicious mocktails and food, Friendly staff

Cons: Location was a bit away
