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.

Good for traditional veganized meals. - Edit
The food is good if you're looking for the more traditional meals veganized, I wanted to eat something healthy but went on a weekend so the entire menu wasn't available. I went for the full english which was pretty nice.

Great burger - Edit
Came here because it’s Earthling Ed’s restaurant and it did not disappoint! We enjoyed the cauliflower wings and the cheesecake but our favourite was the Moving Mountains burger - one of the best burgers we’ve ever had. Unfortunately not 5* just because there were some issues with the service, and because it was so expensive (£12 for a burger) - although we do appreciate that the restaurant is run for charity. The mural on the wall is beautiful too 💚

Great informal vegan diner - Edit
Finally managed to come here and because it was a workday afternoon, the diner was not packed as on all the other occassions I tried to nip in for a quick lunch or snack previously.
Read moreWe had the loaded nachos, a burger and the caesar salad. All very good, although despite opting for the salad, I did not have any room left for the cheese cake. So, beware of the size of the salad.
Oh, note that if you order a burger, it doesn't come with fries or side salad and the fries weren't marked gluten free, which I suppose means they are not. Bit unfortunate as my boyfriend can't digest gluten and he would normally have some fries with his gluten free burger. Anyways, the burger got the thumbs up.
Guess I'll have to come back for that cake some time.

Delicious - Edit
Great food and friendly staff. One con is I wouldn't come here in a rush (like on your lunch break from work) as I did. It wasn't a place I was able to get away from quickly, as it took a while for a staff member to be free, and then to bring over the bill and get it paid. With that exception, a great place.
Read moreCons: Slightly slow service

The best vegan restaurant I've ever been to - Edit
no words for how utterly amazing this place is! beautiful, ethical, amazing food and the kindest staff who care so much about the place. had a great great chat with the staff who are so full of love and energy, very inspiring to be in an ethical place all about the animals. I had so much off the menu as I couldn't help myself it all sounded so good and it was just as amazing as it sounded, the surge burger is a must!! the seitan is also perfect at this place, best I've had. a must visit... thank you unity diner!!!
Read moreCons: none, none, none

Great vegan grub for a great cause! - Edit
Everything on the menu is vegan and looks appetising. Although slightly pricey, this restaurant is not for profit - all profits go towards activism & an animal sanctuary, so I don't feel bad about spending a little more than usual on my food.
Read moreIt's mostly vegan junk food, but there are a couple of healthier options (I just couldn't resist the seitan chikken triple!! When in Rome...)
Pros: All vegan, Tasty, Charity
Cons: Slightly pricey, Bar/Social area would be nice

Very unique hot dog! - Edit
I tried the Surf'n'Turf dog which was definitely something very unique that I've never tasted before. It is topped with fried "shrimp" which I thought were not necessary, I wasn't able to bite into the whole thing anyway so I just picked off the shrimps and ate them first. They were alright and had a slightly fishy taste. The hot dog itself was very flavorful and the mayonnaise and onions went great together with everything. I got onion rings as a side, in my opinion, they need salt or any spices, they just didn't really taste a lot. My boyfriend got the Moving Mountain burger and he was quite disappointed, I took a few bites as well and I think that the patty is in need of a lot more spices and salt. The texture is nice and meaty, but I really don't get the hype, sorry. The staff was also very friendly and the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere.
Read morePros: all vegan, non-profit
Cons: expensive, some things need more flavor and spices

AMAZING, went for valentine's with my girlfriend and they had made the venue beautiful. fully packed out, quick service and attentive and very friendly but not 'fake' staff. Food was excellent, I had the triple stack burger which was one the the best burgers I've ever eaten and my girlfriend had the surge burger she said was fantastic. Excellent establishment and I'll be returning very soon

Just came for the moving mountain - Edit
Have been hearing everyone raving about the moving mountain burgers so decided to go UD to try it. The patty did not disappoint but the burger overall was alright. The mac n cheese was dry. Cheesecake was good.
Read moreWas also informed the chefs have requested no adjustments can be made to any of the dishes, i.e. Cant request no tomato in the burgers. Not sure if this was just a saturday night thing
Pros: Moving mountain burger lives up to the hype
Cons: Prices are a bit steep.

Amazing and uplifting - Edit
I ate here a few months ago. Being vegan, I don't usually have room to eat three courses but the menu looked so tempting, I had to have three dishes. The food was so delicious and the people there very welcoming and so helpful. I was so impressed, I am going back with my family tomorrow for a birthday treat. To have a place like this to go to where you know your money is being put to good use as well as eating wonderful food, is priceless !

Great new venue - Edit
Wanted to eat everything on the menu!
Read moreWe had a group so managed to try...
Tofish with tartar sauce - amazing
Seitan "wings" and sauce - very good
Cauliflower wings - also good.
Mains
Moving Mountain burger - tall, tasty
Mac n Cheeze - very nice but randomly served with a lump of seitan. All good but possibly I'd prefer a big ol bowl of Mac n Cheeze without anything else
Loaded fries - good
Dessert
Sadly they only had chocolate ice cream left which they made into a sundae. It was fine but nothing to write home about.
Pros: All vegan menu, Friendly staff
Cons: Venue was quite crowded

LOVE IT! - Edit
This amazing restaurant is just a few minutes walk from Old Street station. Everything is amazing... the food and choices are fabulous, well portioned and well priced. We tried the tofu 'fish' bites and I had the vegan cheese sandwich with fries which rocked! Also has alcohol and it's a great place to spend an evening. It's also very nicely decorated and so awesome to know that the proceeds go to an animal sanctuary. Staff are lovely and friendly and If you are very lucky you may even catch Earthing Ed there himself as I heard he is often there, chipping in and working just like anyone else.

Breakfasat food wonderful... staff lovely but service slow - Edit
We ate here one Saturday morning and had booked a table (it was fully booked). The tables are quite small and there is no room to, say, spread a newspaper out and read while you eat. The door opens directly into the cafe area and so whenever someone comes in - this is written in January! - there is a huge amount of cold air coming in too... as the door closes quite slowly... so if you are a cold body.. ask for a table away from the door when booking. We were expecting to see a market outside, but there was none. The people serving were lovely... but the service was slow, as others have remarked. The full English (vegan) breakfast was excellent - apart, I would say, from the sausage which looks HORRIBLE (I won't say what it resembles... ) so if you are of a nervous disposition... ask them to miss it out or swap it for something else.. the 'bakon' was v. nice indeed, as was the tofu scramble. Lots of the choices contained pretend meat or fish, which is not something either of us like... Very à la ' trendy Hoxton'... Go, See, (wait a while)and Enjoy!
Read morePros: In aid of saving animals!, Lovely cooking, Very kind and helpful staff
Cons: Front door opens direct into cafe... cold!, Slow service, Rather too many 'pretend' meat and fish dishes..

Amazing! - Edit
We have been looking forward to visiting Unity Diner since it opened and we were not disappointed - it was great. Vibe and layout of the diner is excellent and I love the painted animal mural! Brilliant menu, with loads of choice and cocktails were lovely too. We had a sharing starter with tofish bites, seitan chicken, onion rings and battered cauliflower, followed by the moving mountains burger and cherry pie for dessert - all of which was really tasty and fresh (and very filling!).
Read moreThe staff were really friendly, attentive and helpful, which made it an even nicer experience. It was also great being among other vegans. Its also nice to know that by visiting the diner, any profit helps the Surge charity, which is really important.
Thank you to Ed and the team for such a great venture - we will be regular customers:-)
Pros: Excellent menu, Great vibe, Friendly staff
