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.

This restaurant just does so much right. Sure, you can quibble a little about the prices, but
Read morea) this redefined meat is simply expensive (and delicious)
b) you either make a few vegans richer or it goes to another good cause. win win anyway
Besides, they have a drink called "piers morgan's tears" lol - this kind of playfulness is exactly what this movement needs. This is your call to action: just go there and support this already.
Inside there is a relaxed atmosphere and the staff people were all super warm and cheerful.

Auch für kleine Mahlzeit gut - Edit
Super Auswahl an traditionellen Fischgerichten in vegan und netter Service. Zur späten Mittagszeit nicht sehr viel los obwohl auch Desserts und Kuchen angeboten werden. Preislich sehr in Ordnung und generell sehr zu empfehlen.

Seriously, the meat was so good my dad (who doesn't eat meat because he doesn't like the taste) didn't love it.

One of my absolute favorites - Edit
My second time visiting since last year and I still love this place!!!! The food can be quite heavy depending on what you order but I guarantee you nothing will be disappointing. I love the vibe, the interior, the staff, the cocktails, and the food!! Totally recommend it if you're in London!

Davvero tutto buonissimo, abbiamo preso il famoso tofish e un altro piatto simil pesce, tutto buonissimo e sapori molto molto simili a quelli onnivori! Consigliatissimo

Earthling Ed’s Diner - Edit
The fake ‘steak’ style burger was amazing - if you can handle that meat-like look and texture. Chips were really nice. Otherwise somewhat underwhelmed by the lack of options available. Wish I’d got the steak!

Fish and chips! - Edit
Era da così tanto che non mangiavo fish and chips! Spettacolare! Abbiamo assaggiato anche le costine bbq di tempeh che però non ci hanno entusiasmato. Il locale è davvero carino e personale gentile!

Brilliant food - Edit
Had a trip to London and visited here with my meat-eating partner who loved the food just as much as I did. We had the Mac and cheese to start which was incredible and the kofta which was delicious. I had the to-fish which was good but maybe a little too fishy for my taste but you can see why people rave about it. My partner had the steak which he also enjoyed. For the price of the steak in particular we felt the presentation of the plate could have been more thoughtful and creative like some of the other dishes. His steak was served next to chips and peas but this could have been presented better! Overall a great experience and a must visit.
Read morePros: Fully vegan, with profits going toward animals, Mac and cheese is a must try , Great decor and ambience
Cons: Presentation of the steak

Excellent lunch! - Edit
I had one day in London and was so happy to eat at Unity Diner! My teenage boys and husband had the burger and fish and chips and I had the mushroom and kale dish. So good! I was kind of hoping for some photos of Earthling Ed and information about his santuary, but still a great experience!

Small portions, too expensive - Edit
We went to Unity Diner in London, and as Spanish tourists, we felt scammed. We ordered a steak (£24) and my partner chose a lunch deal for £15, which included a drink, side, and main course. She ordered a small fish and chips. When paying, the waiter ignored the lunch deal and charged us as if it were the full-sized version, despite us confirming multiple times about the lunch deal. Additionally, the 'side dish' was the same small portion of fries from the fish and chips, with no option to choose anything else. It didn't seem like an honest mistake.

One of the best in London! - Edit
Have been wanting to try Unity Diner since forever and I can honestly say it didn’t disappoint!!
Read moreI ordered the Tofish and Chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce and it was the best “fish” I’ve experienced in all the years of being vegan. Excellent texture, great flavor (not too fishy for those that don’t like that) and the chips and peas were excellent.
Lovely, friendly service. I can see why so many people put Unity at the top of their favourite list!
Also has burgers, salads, small plates, desserts so plenty of options!

Delicious - Edit
The food here was absolutely amazing. I got the spam salad and my partner got the redefine meat steak and both meals were gorgeous! The salad dressing was super mustardy and bursting with flavour and the steak was the best vegan one I've ever had!

Super food and ethos. - Edit
The staff are great, the food is delicious and the company's ethos is amazing. I'd expect nothing less from Earthling Ed, though.
Read moreI had the nofish and chips followed by the creme brule. Both dishes were amazing, but the creme brule was just something special.
And the icing on the cake, all the profits go to animal welfare charities.
If you live in or are visiting the Spitalfields area, you must visit.
Pros: Great food., Fabulous ethos., Lovely staff and atmosphere

Great Food, Great Vibes - Edit
As a vegan for ethical reasons, I HAD to hit Unity Diner during my few days in London. As most readers probably know, Earthling Ed was one of the founders— and it’s also a nonprofit! As you walk in, THE FUTURE IS VEGAN is proclaimed in neon. There’s plenty of seating and the place is very clean and nicely kept. Friendly staff. I got the “tofish n chips” and it was all I’d hoped for - in fact, if it wasn’t a 100% vegan restaurant, I’d have been worried that they’d accidentally given me real fish flesh. The taste and consistency were spot on. And the chips were yummy. I got a good hoppy IPA to drink made by a company that works to end plastics pollution in the ocean. Very cool. Wish I’d had room for dessert because they sounded great but the portions were very generous and I couldn’t even finish. I think the prices were completely fair given the quality and portion size (my tab was 27 pounds) and especially knowing that this business is giving back.
Read morePros: The excellent re-creation of classic British food, The pictures of happy, valued animals on wall, The cleanliness, including the bathroom
Cons: An IPA on draught instead of bottle would be nice
