Vegan paradise!

Everything about our experience was brilliant from the moment we walked in the door. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout, our burgers were delicious (I had the gluten-free bun) and the loaded cheesy fries were honestly the DREAMIEST! I've been longing for more of them ever since we left ..! Kudos to the incredible chefs.

We had the 'I love Ewe' cocktail and the 'Piers Morgan's tears' cocktail (a must!). Both were great!

They even brought out a birthday brownie for my friend's 40th birthday weekend... such a lovely touch! On top of everything the vibe of the restaurant is effortlessly cool and just a lovely place to be.

Special thanks to all the hard-working staff there! Also thanks to the legend that is Ed Winters.

Yum!!! Best of British


If you’re after the perfect vegan fish and chunky chips, this spot delivers on all fronts! The fish was crispy with a tender, inside, and the chips were chunky, golden, and cooked to perfection. It’s classic British comfort food, made plant-based and delicious.

We also had the vegan chicken Caesar salad, which was packed with flavor. The vegan chicken had great texture, and the Caesar dressing hit all the right notes—creamy, tangy, and satisfying.

To top it off, I couldn’t resist the crème brûlée. It was silky smooth with a beautifully caramelized top that cracked just right. An absolute treat!

The crew was brilliant—attentive and friendly, which made the experience even better. The venue itself has a funky, vibrant atmosphere that adds to the whole dining experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving top-notch vegan

I could eat here everyday

Absolutely brilliant restaurant that I always make an effort to go to whenever I'm in the area. Food is brilliant and have never left disappointed. Everyone should give it a go - would eat here everyday if I had the funds!!

A must, in London

The tofish and chips is worth the visit: it's simply amazing.
Also the lamb kofta were unbelievably good!
The place has amazing music and it's comfy.
The waitress though was not prepared at all to manage our questions about the ingredients and the preparation of the food (e.g. what is the steak made of, or which vegetables do I get as a side).
They were very nice: we got 10 minutes late and still found our reserved table.

Why isn't everyone vegan yet?

Why isn't everyone vegan yet? Unity Diner is the perfect example of classics turned vegan!! I really wanted to try the tofish and chips and it didn't disappoint!! Everything we tried was delicious and almost too good. The perfect london fast food!!! We went here with our daughter and kids ate for free this summer which was a nice surprise. Service was fast, nice and helpfull. I liked the music and ambiance but it was nothing special. I also liked profits go to the surge sanctuary! The future is vegan!!

Highlight in London

Unser Besuch im „Unity Diner“ war eine spontane Entscheidung, und ich muss sagen, es war das Highlight unserer London-Reise! Das gesamte Konzept des Restaurants ist fantastisch – ein rein veganes Lokal, das in jeder Hinsicht überzeugt. Schon beim Betreten wurden wir sehr herzlich willkommen geheißen und direkt zu unserem Tisch begleitet. Eine Karaffe Wasser und Gläser wurden uns sofort serviert, was den Service gleich zu Beginn sehr aufmerksam machte.

Das Essen war nicht nur originell zubereitet, sondern auch unglaublich lecker. Ich hatte die Barbecue-Tempeh-Ribs für 13 Pfund, die wirklich beeindruckend präsentiert wurden. Die Tempeh-Ribs waren perfekt gewürzt und die Beilagen, inklusive eines kleinen Salats und einer leckeren Soße, haben das Gericht wunderbar ergänzt. Auch meine Begleitung, die normalerweise nicht vegan isst, war begeistert von ihrer Wahl, dem „Kale & Mushroom Delight“. Es hat wirklich beiden von uns hervorragend geschmeckt, und das will etwas heißen, da meine Begleitung durchaus wählerisch ist.

Das Ambiente des „Unity Diner“ ist ebenfalls ein Highlight. Der Schriftzug „The future is vegan“ beim Eingang setzt direkt ein Statement, und die liebevoll gestaltete Einrichtung, inklusive einer schönen Tapete mit Tieren und Botschaften auf den Toiletten, rundet das Erlebnis perfekt ab.

Preislich fand ich alles sehr fair, vor allem für die Qualität und den Service, den wir erhalten haben. Ich kann das „Unity Diner“ jedem wärmstens empfehlen und freue mich schon darauf, bei meinem nächsten London-Besuch weitere Gerichte auszuprobieren. Dieses Lokal ist wirklich eine Bereicherung für die Stadt!

Una sola parola: ICONICO 😍

Ristorante spettacolare, di proprietà di Ed Winters i cui ricavati vengono donati all’associazione animalista SURGE. Solo per questo dovete andarci. Ma in realtà vorrete andarci in ogni caso per il cibo. Questo posto è assolutamente iconico, meraviglioso. Il menù è spettacolare, dal tofish and chips alle ribs di temphe al filetto vegano. Un autentico paradiso in chiave PUB inglese. Noi abbiamo provato Tofish and chips, chips con triplo formaggio, filetto di pesce su crema di zucchine e broccoli in salsa tahina. Spettacolo. Porzioni super abbondanti ( il cameriere non aveva mai visto finire tutte le patatine e capisco il perché, finirle è un vero man versus food. Bastano quelle nel piatto del tofish, non ordinate altre 😂 anche sé quelle al formaggio meritano veramente tanto). Menzione speciale per il tofu che sembrava veramente pesce, assoluatamrnte incredibile, e per gli smashed pees in cui intingere le patatine presenti nel piatto del tofish. Per finire sorbetto al limone.

Pros: Tofish e filetto di pesce, patatine atomiche

from vegans for vegans

This restaurant just does so much right. Sure, you can quibble a little about the prices, but

a) 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

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.

Damn

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

One of my absolute favorites

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

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!

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!
