Vegan paradise! - Edit
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.
Read moreWe 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.

Unique - Edit
I couldn’t wait to try Earthling Ed’s famous seafood restaurant and it did not disappoint! It’s hard to find a veg restaurant based around recreating seafood flavours, and this is impressively realistic. The location is also super cute and the vibe is very relaxed and friendly. They recently added a little vegan menu for dogs which I think is so clever! It’s definitely one of my faves veg restaurants in London.
Read morePros: Lots of options (veg seafood!), Fair prices, Linked to activism!

Best vegan meal we’ve ever had! - Edit
On our short trip to London from Edinburgh we absolutely wanted to eat at Unity as it has options that we’ve never seen anywhere else. We got prawn tempura, the lobster roll and the famous tofish and chips. Everything was outstanding! The food was original and delicious, the staff friendly and polite (something we often don’t experience) and the restaurant very stylish. We’ll be back on future trips to London!

It’s Everything They say It Is - Edit
Tons of unique creations with a lot of flavor and big portions. The #1 spot any vegan has to try if visiting London and likely a indulgent treat for vegans that live here. Cool/hip vibes, clean and clear.
Read moreWe had the:
Fish n Chips - amazing seafood flavor and my first time getting mushy peas which was awesome
Loaded Dirty Fries - the thick cut double fried fries hold up we’ll the whole way through - nearly knocked me out
Lobster Roll - tasty and probably the most unique thing we had, not sure I’d do it again, but I’m happy to try something I’d never be able to make at home.

so tasty - Edit
very tasty, we tried the burger, the Cäsar salad and the loaded fries, it was so delicious
Read morethe lemonades taste a little bit cheap, but not that bad
the staff is very friendly, maybe a little bit stressed
the prices are very fair
cheese, meat, bacon etc is very authentic
a part of the money for the service (12%) goes to an animal rescue organisation
maybe do a reservation online!
we'll definitely come again, recommend it for all tourist and inhabitants!
Pros: very delicious food, fair prices
Cons: the staff is a little bit stressed

Great vegan fast food - Edit
We had fish and chips and a burger. Everything was really good. Even though the restaurant was fully booked, they managed to squeeze us in without a reservation. Staff was very nice and helpful. Great atmosphere.

Splendid food - Edit
Since we were already quite full from all the vegan food London has to offer, we only had room left for a little bite. Unfortunately so, because it was delicious. The main plates looked very big. We love the idea of donating to a charity by eating a nice meal.

Great variety - Edit
It’s great to see this place do so well. I do think for London it’s reasonably priced. There’s a great selection here (not just burgers which is always nice) but the food didn’t wow me, hence why 4 not 5 stars.

Go there! - Edit
We were on holiday to London and this was on top of our list of places to visit.
Read moreI can full heartily recommend a visit, we had the tofish, calamari, tuna and crab roll and everything was amazing! I wish we could have tried the whole menu, but that only means we need to come back soon.
Pros: All vegan, Earning go to sanctuary , Best tofish

Breathes excellent vegan food - Edit
A diner that is fully vegan and of which proceeds go to vegan goals: that alone is commendable. The atmosphere was kind but sometimes I had to wait for a while due to understaffing (like everywhere).
Read moreI had excellent shrimps, and while the steak was good but more like salmon, I fell in love with the (literally) underlying vegetables and seasoning. The waffle for dinner was simply opulence in a simple kind, and a great way to finish dinner! The cocktail was a bit hyped, and while good, it didn't light sparks in my head. Still all in all 5 stars!
Nb reservations are recommended.
Pros: 100% vegan, Wonderful food
Cons: Cocktails are not sublime, still good

Definitely worth the visit, but short of spectacular. - Edit
Cool place with all vegan menu that has an assortment of vegan junk food. Very nice staff, but we had loaded fries and one main come out before receiving our appetizer. And they completely forgot about my VFC chicken burger which reflecting about it makes sense as it was truly forgettable.
Read moreThat being said, all and all a fun place and would return.
Pros: All vegan options, Fish is amazing, Non-profit restaurant
Cons: Service had food come out at wrong order, VFC Chicken is really not good

Fabulous Vegan restaurant - Edit
We were on abhiliday to London and this was too of our list of places to visit. We absolutely loved the experience from ease of booking to the warm welcome and the incredibly full menu.
Read moreWe wished we had bigger stomachs because we'd happily eat everything on the menu.
The tofish was so yummy, with perfectly textured tofu and crispy batter.
The tina roll was just divine and the lobster roll was a revelation.
Flavour and texture was absolutely off the charts and we'd highly recommend a visit by all.
Pros: So many creative vegan dishes, Excellent service and atmosphere, Everything goes to a great cause

Nobody wants to eat a hot dog with a knife and fork - Edit
This place is okay for what it is... vegan junk food. It could be much better though.
Read moreThe tofish bites were pretty good, but the hot dog was bland, not well cooked, and just bad UX... you get a huge hot dog with a tiny bun, all doused with ketchup and mustard so you can't really pick it up and eat it. Then the chocolate raspberry torte wasn't really a torte, and it was covered with dry flower petals that get stuck between your teeth. I did enjoy the cocktail, so there's that.
Service is really fast, but the one-hour time limit still makes things kind of stressful.
Pros: Some of the food is good , Fun atmosphere , Good cocktails
Cons: Some of the food is not good , Time limit is stress inducing

Best fish n chips in London! - Edit
Such a lovely restaurant and great staff.
Read moreThe fish n chips and caesar salad were both incredible. Best caesar I’ve ever had actually! They have a very unique cocktail menu but they are quite sweet.
So nice knowing that the profits go towards animal charities! A wide variety of mock meats and seafoods but lacking in healthy dishes.
Pros: All vegan and non profit , Great place to take omnivores
Cons: Cocktails we’re all on the sweeter side

Brilliant restaurant fully vegan - Edit
Most dishes were amazing, the vegan fish is incredible my partner isn’t vegan and said it was better than real fish, the burger was great but the hot dog was very disappointing, wouldn’t have paid for it if we’d had the option it was hard and gluggy, difficult to swallow!
Read morePros: Vegan fish is the best I’ve tried , Amazing decor, Friendly staff
Cons: Not all dishes were up to scratch , Atmosphere was a little lacking- maybe some music, Expensive
