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.

A must see in London - Edit
Have been here several times and was never disappointed. The staff is super friendly, the restaurant itself Moden but cozy. My favorite dish is probably the fish and chips. The portions are more than filling but if you plan it just right there might be still some room for waffles with icecream. You might have to be carried home afterwards 😅😍

(Also a good place for a date - the couple sitting next to us were on their first one)

Delicious food and cocktails, bit pricey - Edit
Really nice food with fun options, I loved the cocktail menu too. It is definitely expensive though, especially since it's mainly fast food, and the portions (e.g. the sashimi) were pretty small.

Absolutely incredible food!! - Edit
Had the tofish and chips, the portion was large the tastes were incredible, not oily or heavy like you might expect from a fish substitute. Mushy peas were sublime. My partner had the flank steak burger and chips which was also very tasty. Couldn’t bring ourselves to try a whole fake steak but very intrigued and might share one next time, works well in the burger though. Staff very friendly and helpful!!

Flippin awesome fish n chips - Edit
Unity Diner totally rocked my taste buds! 🌱🍟 Their vegan fish and chips? Mind-blowing! Crispy "fish" outside, tender inside – I couldn't believe it wasn't real. And those mushed peas? Legit delicious, creamy goodness. This place is a flavor adventure you don't wanna miss! 🤩🐟🍟

Delicious but expensive - Edit
I think the food was really delicious however it was so expensive. The burger with nothing else was £13. On top of the cost of food theres also a 12.5% surcharge.

Amazing Junk Food - Edit
I’ve read some reviews down voting Unity because of how unhealthy the food is. I find that confusing as it’s not been branded as a healthy vegan restaurant.
Read moreThe food here was amazing! I’ve wanted to go since it opened so I knew what I wanted to order. We had the lobster macaroni and cheese, a mock chicken burger, cheesy chips to share, with a oat latte and a hot chocolate. Food was insanely delicious. I’d definitely order the same again.
Some bad points hence the 4 stars…. The burgers don’t come with chips so we had to order a side. The chips were described in the menu as ‘super cheesy and smothered in our melty trio of cheese’ however the cheese wasn’t melted which the photos show. No biggie it still tasted good.
The portion of Mac and cheese was far bigger than I expected and I struggled to eat more than half; in hindsight we should have ordered it as a sharer.
The price is absurd, I’d have liked to have ordered the fish and chips but who can justify the cost at £17? Also to note the service charge of 12.5% is automatically applied to your receipt.
Overall I enjoyed it, but I do think there’s better vegan restaurants in London.
Pros: Good food, Friendly staff
Cons: Too expensive for what it is, Wait times , Burgers come on their own

Delicious food, kind staff, nice concept, beautiful place and warming atmosphere. I had a Redefine meat with bacon and the texture was just mindblowing.

Unity Diner - Edit
Unity Diner has been on my list to visit ever since it opened, so on a trip to London it just had to be my first stop. I received a warm welcome from staff, service was efficient and I was not waiting long for my food to arrive. There are some nice choices on the menu, personally feel it could be a little more varied. It was always going to be the fysh and chips for me, although I tend to prefer banana blossom over what is quite often just a slab of battered tofu. This however was anything but that, how they get the texture of the tofu to mimic a flaky fish like texture is nothing short of magic! The chips were perfectly crunchy but fluffy on the inside, the tartare sauce creamy and flavourful served with a huge pot of mushy peas. I also opted for the Eton Mess which I am sad to say was a disappointment and in my view did not work as a dessert presented the way it was. It arrived in a large bowl with chopped up strawberries and a very watery syrup, which ended up sort of curdling the cream and making the meringues soggy. It wasn’t pleasant. I love the venue though and their ethos, a service charge is added to the bill but goes towards the running of the wonderful animal sanctuary in Notts.

Best restaurant in London - Edit
Tried the redefine steak, it was so good that I went every night during my stay in London! Also knowing that they are a non-profit and all proceeds go to a sanctuary is the best part! Staff and service was also great! Also tried the Piers Morgan’s Tears Mocktail and it was delicious!

Best vegan fish - Edit
This brilliant restaurant is fantastic and has the best vegan fish I’ve ever had. A huge portion of the classic ‘fish and chips’, made from tofu. Looking at the menu, there is so much else I wish I was able to try. Until next time Unity Diner!

High quality meals - Edit
The food was prepared perfectly and tasted really great. The 3D printed steak covered in facon and served with a couple of broccolinis, roasted mini potatoes, and peppercorn sauce was incredible and the waffles with chicken and bacon tasted great too, even though the waffles were very sugary (I liked the combo though and shared it as a main).
Read moreIt took some time for the food to come out but the service was friendly. It was really expensive given there's a 12.5% gratuity added (which goes to the sanctuary and staff, so that's good). This made the 3D steak nearly £30 though 😬 Not a place I could afford to visit often for that reason.

Amazing restaurant with many options - Edit
I took my mum here who is a keen carnivore, she had a ‘chicken’ burger with cheese, she is allergic to cheese so amazing for her to try a burger with dairy free cheese finally! We both loved our meals, the lobster Mac and cheese is awesome just a big portion so beware you may need to share! Fab staff and atmosphere and clean toilets. Will definitely be going back!

Not sure what was what - Edit
Service was a little slow, even though we were told we only have the table for an hour. We weren’t aware of the free Wi-Fi. I would really have liked to know what was in the food. The meat is 3D printed but I don’t know what it is. Don’t know what the salmon or lobster were. I had tofish and chips. I had a mocktail and that was very good. I think vegan fast food is not for me.
Read morePros: Mocktail , Tofish (although more fishy than cod), Everything is vegan
Cons: Not my favourite chips, Don’t know what is in the food, 1 hour is not enough to have desert and coffee
