So much more than words can transmit - Edit
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.

great experience - Edit
Went for the second time today, had the loaded sweet potato fries, 2 of the burgers, cauliflower wings and for desserts the pie and a cheesecake. Everything was delicious! The staff was really attentive. And the best part is the non profit concept. Definitely one of my top 3 favourite places in London

The best birthday treat!! - Edit
Went without making a reservation but the guys were kind enough to seat us anyway within 2 minutes
Read moreHad a browse of the extremely well planned menu and went for the Chicken SEITAN Burger and Full English breakfast and IT BLEW OUR MINDS!!
The breakfast sausage is some Godblessed-seitan wonder which is better than any sausage replacement I have ever had and the burger is really well seasoned and PACKED with all the good stuff!
I was hesitant regarding the pretzel buns initially but they work perfect with the meal
Staff so kind and helpful I wanna just hug everyone and thank them for an amazing experience!
Will come back ASAP!
Not to mention did not even realise Earthling Edd is responsible for this heavenly feast! He was one of the people who helped me so much at the beginning of the journey.
Pros: All the seitan!, Lovely staff, Amazing artwork and atmosphere
Cons: NONE

Wonderful - Edit
The food is delicious and they have some really interesting options on their menu. The staff is so lovely and there is a nice, relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. We loved the decor as well, and the vibe of this place. Also, it's great that all their profits go to animal rights organisation. I'll definitely be back 😊

Fantastic - Edit
If I lived closer I’d honestly be here every week! The food was amazing, even though on the day I visited their fridge was broken meaning limited food options. What I did order was SO tasty- 10/10! They’d also ran out of ketchup?! But that didn’t spoil my visit at all. I ate so much that I was too full for a pudding, so I’ll definitely be back as I want to try the cheesecake.

Don’t waste your money - Edit
The food is bland, greasy and practically cold. Such a let for a good concept.
Read moreSadly the menu is very limited and you’ll wait a long time for your food, despite having plenty of staff.
Pros: Aesthetically pleasing
Cons: Long wait, Bland food, Disappointing menu

When I went I also noticed that although there were many waiters, service was slow and not efficient. Waiters were just hanging around not knowing what to do. I agree that the food was not good though it looked good.

Bit disappointing - Edit
We went on Friday lunch time and the service was pretty dire. Not sure what was happening in the kitchen but people who arrived more than half an hour after us had actually eaten and left before we even got our main courses. The food was OK - but not having any gluten-free burger buns despite the Surge burger being listed as a gluten-free option isn't great.
Read moreI know it's only recently opened, so I hope to go back in a month or so and update my review more positively.
Pros: Really nice decor and atmosphere
Cons: Such a long wait for food, Gluten-free options not great

Exactly what London needs! - Edit
I’ve been here three times already and I absolutely love the place..the food, decor, and the friendliest staff you could ever wish to meet. Not to mention that the venture is totally non-profit.
Read moreThe menu is varied and ranges from healthy salad items to burgers and seitan steak, with all sorts of amazing desserts and appetisers thrown into the mix.
Additional outdoor seating, a great range of alcoholic and soft drinks, along with the fact they are pet-friendly and very reasonably priced makes it very hard to find fault with this inspiring diner.
Look forward to returning this week!
Pros: Awesome food, Beautiful decor and welcoming staff, Killer booze selection!
Cons: None

Best diner in London - Edit
Unity Diner has exceeded all expectations. The chef is a vegan wizard. Pub classics have been reinterpreted, and the presentation is top notch. I’ve been twice already in the couple days since opening. The Moving Mountains Burger and potato wedges have so much flavour and freshness. The vegan BLT is wonderful and if you are very hungry or willing to share, the loaded chips were out of this world - like British nachos, melted cheeze and vegetables but with unexpected additions like pomegranate, seeds and goji berry sauce.
Read moreThe staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The kitchen is quick to accommodate the busy lunch crowds. And the decor fresh and bright with original art, plans and neon sharing their mission of animal compassion.
Pros: Big portions, Great space, Outdoor seating
