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.

Fish and chips are really impressive! - Edit
I was so sad I couldn't spend more time here/eat more food but we just got the fish and chips to go. It was really impressive imitation fish! I thoroughly enjoyed it and the chips and tartar sauce were great too

Super restaurant à tous les niveaux ! - Edit
L'entré de "calamar" épicé très bon.
Read moreLe tofish&chips était juste génial, vraiment bluffant et l'assiette généreuse.
Le burger très bon aussi, un peu petit mais avec des frites ça fait grave le taf, les frites sont très généreuses.
Le dessert (gaufres avec glaces) très bon aussi.
De plus le lieu et l'équipe sont sympa, et toute l'éthique du restaurant est stylé.
Je recommande vivement ! :)

Top rated for good reason! - Edit
This is the type of place you need to go with your non-vegan friends if you’re trying to make a point that vegan food does taste amazing. The menu is full of classic favourites, from burgers to fish & chips… except it’s all vegan.
Read moreThis is not where you need to go if you’re on a diet. But it’s definitely where you’ll get the best “tofish” (tofu cooked in a way that it tastes like fish). Not much is gluten-free by default on the menu, so we had to request it and it took way longer to be served. It was worth it though, and we were not in a rush. It’s not only the cause that is great, it’s also the food.
P.S: They also have an animal sanctuary where they offer a lifelong, no-kill, safe haven and forever home to abused and unwanted animals.
Pros: All profits go directly towards animal rights work, Vegans for the animals, Great food, great cause
Cons: Service can be a bit slow sometimes

Yum - Edit
Our first visit here, but it won’t be the last! We ordered the BBQ tempeh and the Omni pork steak and bacon. Both were excellent. It’s great to support a non-profit which cares about animal welfare.

A calm vibe. Nice food - Edit
I enjoyed my visit to Unity yesterday as the main host was lovely and welcoming, the mocktails, main and dessert were all really nice though broccoli spears needed more cooking and the steak was reminiscent of spam
Read moreI liked the laid back vibe the fact it's a non profit ✨🙏✨and the toilets were well taken care of which is important.
I would've liked to be checked on during my stay as we had to flag down staff to order, for drinks and dessert on a quiet Wednesday 2.15-5 but besides that I'd recommend. . .though I may go for the burger next time
Updated from previous review on 2023-11-16
Pros: It's non-profit ethos 🙏, Mocktails 🍹🍸 and large tea ☕, Salted Caramel Cake 🍰
Cons: Having to flag down staff., Undercooked broccoli spears.

Good atmosphere and not too loud - Edit
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Unity Diner. The staff were lovely, the music wasn't too loud. The Tofish was delicious, as was the tartare sauce. Sadly chips were under cooked (some were even cold). I wouldn't stop this from me returning but I'd mention it if I order chips again to maybe cook them for a little longer. I love that they have very private toilet cubicles which are all gender neutral.
Read morePros: All profits go to animal rights groups, Atmosphere & gender neutral toilets!, The tofish is gluten free!

Delicious Tofish and Chips - Edit
Great food! I had their tofish and chips plus the salted caramel cake, and both were delicious. The breading and flavors of the tofish were on point with the lemon and tartare sauce, and the chips had very nice seasoning and cook. The only thing I can complain about is that ordering takeout was a bit complicated; they only seem to take orders by phone, and when I called, they were too busy to help and I had to come in physically to order. Still worth the difficulty and wait for the great meal.

Great place - Edit
This will be our second trip to Unity diner and it was lovely! We ordered the Mac n cheese, cheesy fries, tofish bites and my daughter had the mocktail mojito which she loved!
Read moreIt’s nice to just go for ‘fish’ and chips now and again. The chunky chips were amazing. Lovely and crispy.
We also ordered the chilli calamari which was ok quite rubbery. I think if you wanted mock meat/fish and wanting to support a great cause then this is really good for it.

Unity Diner - Edit
Food is delicious. I had the tofish and chips and they nailed the taste and texture. Sometimes I find vegan seafood to be too fishy but this manages to nail that balance of getting an authentic taste without it going overboard. I followed it up with the salted caramel cake which was amazing, well worth the money.
Read moreOnly issue I had was with one staff member, he made a couple of comments which, while I doubt they were meant maliciously, made me feel a bit self conscious. Such as commenting "oh you're on your own then" which made me feel like he was saying something is wrong with that, and mentioning I finished my meal quickly as though I chucked it down or something. He didn't need to say these things and it made me feel a bit self conscious like I say. All the other wait staff were lovely though and this didn't put a damper on my experience.
Pros: Delicious!, All vegan
Cons: Unnecessary comments from staff, Expensive, but worth it for a treat

Great food - Edit
I decided to have three small plates and a mocktail. You can look at the menu online but then someone comes to your table. I ordered the tofish, calamari and the fried corn. The tofish was amazing. I thought the calamari wasn’t as good as some I’ve tried but it was still nice. The corn was well cooked and I enjoyed it a lot. I ordered a piers Morgan tears mocktail. I was happy to see a number of mocktails on the list. This looked pretty and tasted nice. I didn’t have room for dessert. Service was great and staff nice.
Read moreTables were a little close together but that might just be me. I just feel awkward when trying to get out from behind a table and you’re apologising to the table next to you in case you bump it.

Must go in London - Edit
We tried several small plates and main dishes. Unfortunately we were too full to try the dessert. Overall is was very good, with some okay dishes (such as the gnocchi, calamari) and some outstanding ones (the Mac n cheese, the steak, the burgers, the loaded fries). The steak was very impressive. Would love to go back and try the dessert as well that looked delicious

Food not great - Edit
Such a shame and feel bad saying it but the food really isn’t great. It’s all meat and fish imitation (laser printed steak?!) and sadly isn’t up to scratch. I went for the glazed tempeh and it was a cold lump of nasty tasting mush with a side of raw onion! The poor waitress was serving the entire restaurant alone. Pudding was nice.

Great atmosphere, great food, great staff - Edit
Staff was super friendly, motivated and seemed to really enjoy working there.
Read moreTofish & Chips were great, albeit a bit greasy. I waited less than 10 minutes for it. You get a glass of tap water for free.
I was super hungry and expected to need desert or more fries on the side. Tofish & Chips + Orange Juice was enough for me though.
I visited on a Saturday at around 6pm. Was lucky to get a seat at the bar. A couple came 20 minutes later and had to take their food to go. I don't know about other days, but on a Saturday a reservation seems recommendable.
They play music (atleast on Saturdays), which makes for a great atmosphere, but makes communication a bit more difficult.

Fab! - Edit
Finally got round to trying Unity Diner and it didn’t disappoint. The tofish and chips was delicious, the wine was fantastic and the chocolate and caramel cake was amazing (although the portion was huge!). Meat substitute focused menu which isn’t to my usual preference but still loved it here.
