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.

Good burgers (classic & vfc )

Good burger 🍔 fries a little pale but i'm a Belgian so no fries in UK are ever satisfactory. Very friendly staff, overall lovely

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

Nice food

Nice food and nice atmosphere. For starters/sides we had the fried corn and coleslaw, the corn was so good! For main I had the lobster roll. The roll was nice, a little disappointing as it was a little bit chewy and would have been nicer if it was warm! Raspberry Frangipane for desert was nice. Overall I was a little disappointed as I had heard so many good things and so much hype around the diner and felt like it didn't really live up to it. I would visit again though.

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.

Fast food experience

We tried the prawn tempura, tofish bites and chikken kale ceasar salad with bacon as well as the raspberry Frangipane, the latter we found disappointing, the rest was okay but also not amazing. The location itself was nice and spacious. Negative point was that we needed some minutes to choose what to eat and 3 different waiters came to us separately to ask to take the order. Probably they couldn't judge if we had already chosen or are playing with our phone, since the menu was only available on the phone. Payment also worked over the phone, so if you are done eating don't wait for a waiter. Otherwise the staff was friendly.

Cons: Almost only fast food

So good!

The food was great, the space is comfortable, and the servers are almost friendly! We really enjoyed our visit. The servers were a little less attentive than at some places I’ve been but they were perfectly adequate, I didn’t enjoy the loud “boots and cat” music blasting for the whole 90 min we were there as it felt really intrusive. I guess I am just getting older… anyway, it was wonderful food, I am so glad to was able to visit while I was in London for work. I will definitely go back next time I am in town.

Pros: All the food!

Cons: Loud intrusive music

Good food but spotty service

Our food took nearly an hour to be ready, despite the restaurant not being very busy. The fish and chips were great, but wish there were more non-fried options on the menu.

Pros: Good fish n chips

Cons: Super slow service , Predominantly fried food
