Vegan bacon tho. - Edit
Not the cheapest but definitely worth a try. Lots of choice but I'd recommend the temple burger and chipotle fries. Not really feeling the fillets and the lemon pepper sauce is below average. Deserts are wicked.

The best vegan fast food I’ve ever had - Edit
This place was absolutely unbelievable. The temple burger really hit the spot after a long day. It was definitely the best vegan fast food I’ve ever had, and the burger was really big and filling. Also, the chocolate brownie was phenomenal. It was so rich—like eating fudge. You need to eat here if you’re in the Camden area.

Best buffalo chkn’ sandwich - Edit
This place is amazing! Actually THE BEST buffalo “chicken” sandwich I’ve EVER had! Had the mac and cheese too, which was okay- nutritional yeasty tasting, but still good! My friend had the popcorn bites - also amazing!

Almost equal to the hype! - Edit
This was a really fun place to go check out. Seen so many people visit over the year so wanted to go and see what the fuss was about. Now, don’t get me wrong, this was delicious. But not my favourite seitan offering! (Seitan’s Grill win that award!) I tried the temple burger and the classic seitan fillets and a temple brownie. The burger was good - a little heavy on mustard for me. The bbq burger was delicious (pinched some of my husband’s!). The fillets were good, with crispy batter. The brownie was super rich and dense too. However, the amount of salt and oil in the foods was just too much for me! I normally follow a WFPB diet so it was quite a shock to the system. Still, glad I went, it was a really fun place and everyone in my party enjoyed their food! I probably won’t return given how many other options there are in London nowadays, but if you’ve got a hankering for fried chikn, this will satisfy the craving for sure! The walk to the restaurant was fun, I’d never walked along the canal before so that was enjoyable and at 5pm it was super quiet

So so - Edit
The batter was amazing and crunchy. Then my disappointment as a vegan for 10 years who makes a lot from scratch, was the massive sponge like chicken piece was overspiced burning rubbery jawbreaker.
Read moreIt could have been a lot slimmer and doubled up tge crunchy batter in two fillets would have been better.
Inside the seating experience is like going to a 16-18 college where everyones to loud and excited for lunch. Theres no space its crammed and there's not enough seating. I could see in the summer how this would be nice as a tale away but not in the winter! It is not near anything useful to me, bit of a drab walk so I would rather go to a number of other places.
Pros: the lovely crunchy batter!
Cons: karma cola as only option as a drink. hard to find

I finally made it and I truly wasn't disappointed. Spoilt for choice I opted for the twist wrap and it was beautiful. I will be back very soon, would love a branch south west off the river lol.

amazing Seitan wings and burgers - Edit
If you want a healthy or semi healthy meal stop right now. This is not the place. This is super tasty, fast food, chicken tuck shop style food made vegan.
Read moreI've had the buffalo wings (my favourite), popcorn chicken and spicy burger. Great service and friendly staff. They also now make pastries like croissants, cakes and muffins which are pretty good also.
Pros: tasty! great for junk food when you want to go all
Cons: not healthy (if that's what you're expecting), can be hard to get a seat (small and casual place)

Vegan junk food at its finest - Edit
Don’t come here looking for something ‘healthy’! I had the Temple burger and it was ace. Reasonably priced, nice interior and the staff were friendly. Will definitely go back next time I’m in London.

Fast food done right! - Edit
I'm a big fan of fast food, it's probably quite obvious from the profile picture. Going vegan -- I thought -- meant giving up the days of cheap deep fried fillets served in a bun in five minutes.
Read moreNot so, Temple of Seitan will scratch the fried chicken itch (and others, according to friends -- I've only tried the chicken) with no suffering caused to animals.
Pros: Scratches the 'KFC' itch, Price, Nice outside eating area

Temple burger was good but ... - Edit
Per the recommendation of a local we tried the Temple Burger (tasty) but the Mac & Cheese and BBQ Wings were average at best (note: it’s rare food is ever left uneaten as was the case here). Drawn to seek out this place given they serve veg fried chicken, we tried their seitan bbq chicken but found it overpowered by too much sauce - not crispy at all. Mac & Cheese was uninspired. Place was packed and there is casual outdoor seating on benches outside. Staff friendly and helpful.
Read morePros: Quick service , Reasonably priced, Veg fried chicken as a menu option

Completely in love - Edit
Having been craving American-sytle fast food for quite a while, eating at the Temple was pure bliss! I enjoyed their fabulous "Temple Deluxe" with a great soundtrack on in the background, wondering once again why some people still think we need meat on this earth when plants can taste so amazing.

Great vegan junk food - Edit
Tucked away in a mini courtyard, this place is divine. Amazingly unhealthy fried vegan junk food. You can eat in (although there is limited seating) or take away. A must visit.

Delicious - Edit
What can I say... vegan junk heaven basically. The mac and chees were simply delicious, a bit mustardy, but so creamy and tasty. The popcorn bites had a subtle lemon and pepper taste in my opinion. They were good, not mindblowing, but still addictive. That crunch really makes you keeping eating them! In my opinion, they are best eaten with a sauce. Ranch was a good option.
Read moreI definitely want to try more items out of their menu.

Lived up to the hype - Edit
Before I tried Temple of Hackney I was wondering whether they could live up to the hype. They could. The whole menu is typical junk food that has been veganised. They do it well. The Temple Burger was tasty and very filling.
Read moreService was friendly and efficient. It is actually fast food, my order was ready in minutes. I found it easy to get a seat early on a weekday evening.
Nice location just off Regents Canal (look for the chicken art) and very easy to walk up from Kings Cross and St Pancras.
Pros: All vegan, Great service, Nice location by the canal
