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.

Make a reservation!

We tried so many dishes and they were all decadent and delicious, from salty to sweet. They have a doggy menu which we found adorable.

Pros: Decadent, Varied , Non-profit

Incredible vegan tofish & chips

Absolutely loved this restaurant! I had their tofish & chips with mushy peas and a cold local (vegan) cider. Delicious! Staff were incredible, very helpful and so friendly. Free wifi. Cute swore. Non-profit!

Pros: Incredible menu, delicious food , Non-profit, Cheery, modern, Instagrammable decor

Nobody wants to eat a hot dog with a knife and fork

This place is okay for what it is... vegan junk food. It could be much better though.

The 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!

Such a lovely restaurant and great staff.
The 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

Great place and great cause

Fantastic diner and even better that profits go towards such a good cause. I had the tofish and chips and a cider which was lovely. Can't wait to visit again and try more of the menu.

Brilliant restaurant fully vegan

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!

Pros: 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

Overall good experience

Tofish bite is really good, crab cake is ok…rib is good, lobster roll is ok… I was also in a hurry to finish the meal and didn’t get to really enjoy the atmosphere there (but this is not the restaurant’s fault), staff is accommodating and trying her best, which is very much appreciated.

Pros: Great presentation of the food

Cons: Slow service

Yummy fish alternative!

We loved our time at Unity Diner. The staff was lovely, the food came quickly and tested wonderful. We had the calamary rings, the tofish & chips and the kimchi burger. For dessert we had the salted caramel cake and a iced matcha latte. Everything was so good, we will for sure come back again!

Pros: Fully vegan, Lovely staff

Cons: You can only stay one hour, should be extended

Amazing!

Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere (although being seating by the kitchen was a little noisy)

I had the tofish and was full after just a few bites! Tastes amazing but very filling.

Highly recommend a visit as they have a big menu with normal London prices.

Can’t wait to come back

Absolutely love this place

Been to Unity Diner a few times for lunch and dinner, and also for a charity night. The food, drinks and service has always been top notch. One of my favourites in the world.

Good food, bit rushed

Nice non-profit restaurant made famous by Earthling Ed. Food was very good, especially the lobster roll. However, we felt a bit rushed by the personnel and were pressured to leave within one hour. Not a place for a relaxing dinner...

Pros: Awesome lobster roll, Quick service

Cons: Rushed eating due to 1 hour deadline

Good salads

The chikken kale caesar salad was very good just that it was a bit too much dressing. I liked it that we scanned the menu and also could pay through that link.

What an experience

It’s mind blowing to eat “Tuna “ sashimi which has the flavour and texture of actual tuna.

For the main course I ate the steak “pork” salad, very fresh dish. The restaurant has a nice environment and the staff is great ( 👍Tiago)

delicious and a bit expensive

the burger i had was amazing, great vegan cheese and all around very nice staff, but sadly understaffed for a busy wednesday, so it took quite a long time.
the price for the cheapest burger (the one i had) is £12 (plus the service charge).

Pros: great burgers, nice atmosphere

Cons: understaffed, partly stressful music, not cheap

Over rated

Extremely poor service from disinterested waiter.
Rolled his eyes any got the hump when the pay via web thing didn’t have my bill ( sorry you had to actually do something pal !
Food was ok but nothing like all the reviews are saying (hot dog a bit soft and bun hard maybe stale)
Won’t be going again much better places close by.
Expensive for the quality

Pros: Junk food

Cons: Expensive for quality, Average at best

What’s not to like?

My friend and I had been to the previous Unity Grill, but this was our first visit to the new one on Wentworth Street. We were warmly welcomed, as was my friend’s dog. In fact, she got more attention than us! 😂 The dog was petted by staff and customers, plus she was given a dog treat and some dog food….all vegan of course. We loved the food we ordered. Vegan junk food at its best. My friend had Tofush and Chips, while I had the Truffle Shuffle Burger with fries. We had ‘Seaspiracy’ cocktails, which not only looked gorgeous but tasted divine. We also stuffed our faces with desserts, a Salted Caramel Cake and a Raspberry Frangipane. The food was yummy, the staff were outstanding and the restaurant was pretty busy for a Friday lunchtime. We pre booked and I would recommend doing that.

Perfect vegan food

The staff was extremely lovely, asked about our allergies right from the start and helped us build a gluten-free order. The starters were absolutely perfect - tofish bites & drumsticks are a must-try! A hotdog was nothing out of ordinary but still very tasty. Also, if I am not mistaken, we got water for free as well as takeaway boxes, which isn’t quite common to see.

Some of the best vegan food I’ve had!

Came here with my non-vegan friend and he loved it too. 10/10 would recommend for vegans and non-vegans. Dogs are welcome too.
