Of course we loved it!!!! Epic! - Edit
Really loved this place and they have just added lots of new additions to the fully vegan menu.
Read moreWe went for a classic “chicken” burger and a spicy “chicken” burger both excellent. Shared bbq wings and a side order of fries with different sauces.
We were lucky to grab a table as there’s only a couple available.
Amazing texture, super friendly service and it’s popular there’s always a massive queue of people out of the door!
Loved it and can’t wait to go back!
Pros: Loads of choice, Great flavour, 100% cruelty free
Cons: No toilets

Amazing Food - Edit
Unbelievable 'fried chicken style' vegan takeaway. I'm quite addicted to thier insanely tasty Temple Burger... I can't say anything negative except maybe the chips and drink selection could be better?
Read morePros: delicious , Fast Service
Cons: Not much room to sit down , Not cheap

All Hail Seitan - Edit
Once you try a burger from here, it’s hard for another vegan burger to compare. By far the best vegan “chicken” I’ve ever experienced. A bit like, “I can’t believe it’s not butter”, but instead, “I can’t believe it’s not chicken”.

worshiping at the temple - Edit
Definitely go and have a delicious and highly flavoursome burger here. Great sides, cheapish and fast. I'll be going back. Small. Place with just outdoor seating but great on a nice day.
Read morePros: all vegan. offers your favourite vegan alternative

Worst burger ever - Edit
Almost everything was cold (vegan cheese, sauce, bun). Strong taste of garlic powder. Chips were ok.

Nice but not amazing - Edit
Had the temple spicy burger and it was massive and messy. There was a bit too much sauce to my liking which made it very hard to eat and made the bun and the fried seitan soggy.
Read moreHad the burger as part of the meal deal with regular chips and a drink for £8. Good value at this as the portion is huge. If there is 2 of you I suggest not to get 2 meal deals.
Also after having been here before and enjoying the burger more, I would suggest getting the regular temple burger (or ask them to put less sauce on the spicy one) or a portion of 4 wings. I had them previously and they were amazing, though perhaps a little salty for some.
Pros: Huge portions, Affordable
Cons: Bit heavy on the sauce, Limited seating

Real Good Seitan - Edit
This was my first experience of seitan and I loved it so much! I tried both their popcorn chicken, chicken burger and macaroni cheese - all were super yummy. Their popcorn chicken is to die for. Next time I’d skip the burger and get the mac n cheese and popcorn chicken. Nom.
Read morePros: Amazing seitan, Really yummy, Friendly staff
Cons: Not a lot of sitting space, only 2 tables outside

Do not have huge expectations - Edit
Only two tables outside on those were sticky to a touch. Seitan itself was soggy from the outside with disappointing texture inside and lack of flavour. Also spicy burger wasn't spicy at all and it comes from a person who can't handle spicy food. Had huge expectations, unfortunately left disappointed.
Read morePros: Decent pricing.
Cons: Need to improve their recepies or execution.

Great big portions! - Edit
As a man with a huge appetite I really appreciate getting what I pay for when I eat out, and when it comes to the temple there are no exceptions! The first time I ate there I ordered everything from the menu to try it all, and to my surprise could not finish it all! The food really reminded me of eating fast food at the end of a night out at 2am after one too many drinks, but all vegan so although I felt stuffed, my stomach didn’t feel awful like how I used to feel after eating meaty fast food years ago!
Read morePros: Big big portions , Very tasty , Great for non vegans to try vegan fast food
Cons: Maybe some of it was a bit too salty, But it didn’t really matter, As it’s all very tasty!

Temple of deliciousness! - Edit
I have visited a number of times and I have never been disappointed. The portions are huge. Do not miss out on their mac n cheese - it is excellent. Just a shame it is not a bigger establishment and you could sit down! (There is very limited outside seating)
Read morePros: Consistently excellent, Huge portions, The mac'n cheese
Cons: A little more expensive than I would like

Yummiest Vegan Chicken - Edit
This was the first time I've had vegan popcorn bites and I was not let down by any means. I loved the chicken so much, and would 100% go again. I also got the mac n cheese, which compared to other vegan mac n cheeses I've had, it did not hold up. Lacked the kick of cheese, but was still overall yummy especially if you mix your chicken in with it!
Read morePros: Best vegan chicken
Cons: Long wait, Mac n cheese flavor

NAUGHTY BUT NICE - Edit
Treat yourself. Forget about healthy eating for a moment. Indulge. Embrace the fried. We queued with ppl from all around the world, hankering for a piece of fried "chicken", mac'n"cheese" & other fast food treasures. Now expanding across London like our expanding waistlines, be sure to visit one of these temples to vegan fast food.
Read morePros: Delicious food, All vegan

Fun + tasty - Edit
The fried chicken here is delicious and the other food I've tried (mac n cheese, coleslaw, hot wings, popcorn chicken) is also incredible. My go-to is the two piece and mac n cheese. It fills you up so much that you won't want to eat here again for another couple months, but it's always amazing when you're back! Definitely lives up to the hype.
Read moreTop tip: The fries are not that exciting, but if you go around the corner to the Hackney Picturehouse they have incredible chips!

Amazing Chick'n - Edit
I had the Temple Jr. Burger and it was amazing. It is definitely the best chick'n burger I have ever had. There is only outdoor seating and it gets pretty busy at lunch so keep that in mind. I also ordered the Mac N' Cheese which was good but very rich. The bacun they use is so much like bacon I was quite impressed.
Read morePros: Best Chick'n ever, Fast Service

only for fried chicken lovers! - Edit
Fast service, very tasty and authentic fried "chicken" - we didn't try the mac n cheese unfortunately, but everything else was very good! Just don't go there expecting anything other than fast food fried chicken! There's a few tables outside but no indoor seating.
