So much more than words can transmit - Edit
One of the ultimate stand out vegan places I’ve ever been to in my life. The three of us had their famous £22 Sunday Roast extravaganza each selecting a different meat (roast chicken, lamb and turkey). You are also provided with a Yorkshire Pudding then it’s self-service vegetables and all the usual trimmings such as sauces, stuffing and lashings of gravy. I had a bit of everything, piled my plate high then proceeded to devour the whole feast with a pint of their delicious Posh Lager overlooking Petticoat Lane Market. Not a bad way to spend an early Sunday afternoon before hitting The Oval for some T20 cricket action.

The tofish !! - Edit
Waited years to go to this place and it did not disappoint! The tofish is amazing !! Even my Omni bf was amazed. Make sure you book before you or no chance you're getting a seat. Also be warned you must give up your table after an hour unless you go later in the evening. The staff are super friendly and helpful. I wasn't such a fan of the atmosphere, however, the place was very loud and the music was awful and way too loud. That plus the heat inside while we waited for our table gave me a headache.

Best fish and chips in town - Edit
I went with the expectation of eating a hearty meal, in a chilled-out place with a cool vibe and a great reputation for animal welfare – and that’s what I got – A non-for-profit diner giving its profits to animal welfare. I can’t believe there are reviews slating this place for serving junk food! The Unity Diner (UD) website clearly shows what they serve and there’s enough reviews on Google, TripAdvisor and HappyCow to know what they serve.
Read moreThe Menu is extensive (images uploaded) with lighter plates, big pleats, sides, snack, desserts, drinks, mocktails and cocktails. If you can’t find something junky to eat here, you’re not going to find it elsewhere.
The “ToFish & Chips” was the very best vegan fish and chips I’ve eaten (see images). In fact, I was a massive fan of fish before turning vegan and I’ve never had vegan fish taste and look like the real thing before – and Seitan knows I’ve tried a lot of them including banana flower. I presume it’s a Moving Mountains ToFish fillet as they use a lot of MM meat substitutes. The fish was big, perfectly shaped like a fish and curled up like a real fish that had hit the hot oil. They used their own UD beer-batter which was crispy and tasty on its own, but the star was the fish – It was fluffy, had the bite of real fish, and with the nori, it tasted like the real thing. Not fishy smelling or seaweedy like I’ve had before, just a fresh wet-fish taste, with a squeeze of the lemon wedge which was on the side. The tartar sauce is claimed to be ‘legendary’ and I’m not a big fan of tartar sauce but it was very good and I did manage to eat half of it so well done. The second star on the plate was the mushy peas – Not runny or thick or a meagre portion, it was a full side bowl full of peas with bite and flavour that accompanied the fish and chips perfectly. I'd have them in bread on their own (northerner!).
The lemonade has a selection of flavours which I thought was odd (why not just have flavoured carbonated drinks?) but the mango in lemonade was refreshing and I enjoyed it. It was served in a big glass too which lasted the meal.
I like to be critical to show the review isn’t too gushy but I really couldn’t fault the design, style, music, friendly and knowledgeable staff, their ethos, the menu, the execution, presentation or food itself.
Would I go back – yes, I’d like to eat the dirty loaded fries, the omni pork steak and surf n’ turf dog.
Would I recommend – Definitely.
Pros: Lots of vegan junk food, All profits go to animal welfare, Fairly priced

Absolutely Phenomenal - Edit
Decided to walk here since it was close by. Beforehand, I wasn’t really super excited about visiting this place as I was with other places as nothing on the menu stood out. I ordered the tofish and chips. Man was I blown away! It literally tasted like fish and was so delicious! The tartar sauce it came with was great too.

Great vibes but one dish was lacking - Edit
Tofish- slapped, delicious
Read moreLobster roll- very sub par, lacking in a lot of flavour and needed to add lemon and salt to make it taste like anything other than Mayo and spring onion
But the vibes? Fantastic

Was okay - Edit
It's really great that 100% of profits are donated to an Animal charity and that they are 100% vegan. I however found the prices of items to be quite expensive. Most of the items here are junk food based full of carbs and fried foods. A full meal cost at least £13. I was looking for something healthy as a meal. I also already reserved a £4 healthy vegan meal from Too Good to Go App for later.
Read moreI had a banana split for £7 which I found to be too sweet. The menu says it would have baby marshmallows but they didn't tell me that they ran out of stock and instead put flowers on them. They also add 12.5% optional service charge without asking. I'm on a budget.
I'd like to see healthier options and the prices to be more affordable.
The place is also loud, I guess it's expected for a bar environment. I prefer quite place with mellow music.
They also don't have a physical menu. They make use of a bar code. I wanted to avoid looking at my phone and have more focus on the real world. From a mental health point and for those who don't use a smart phone it would be nice if they consider an alternative option like have a big menu that is visible.

Unique - Edit
I couldn’t wait to try Earthling Ed’s famous seafood restaurant and it did not disappoint! It’s hard to find a veg restaurant based around recreating seafood flavours, and this is impressively realistic. The location is also super cute and the vibe is very relaxed and friendly. They recently added a little vegan menu for dogs which I think is so clever! It’s definitely one of my faves veg restaurants in London.
Read morePros: Lots of options (veg seafood!), Fair prices, Linked to activism!

Best vegan meal we’ve ever had! - Edit
On our short trip to London from Edinburgh we absolutely wanted to eat at Unity as it has options that we’ve never seen anywhere else. We got prawn tempura, the lobster roll and the famous tofish and chips. Everything was outstanding! The food was original and delicious, the staff friendly and polite (something we often don’t experience) and the restaurant very stylish. We’ll be back on future trips to London!

It’s Everything They say It Is - Edit
Tons of unique creations with a lot of flavor and big portions. The #1 spot any vegan has to try if visiting London and likely a indulgent treat for vegans that live here. Cool/hip vibes, clean and clear.
Read moreWe had the:
Fish n Chips - amazing seafood flavor and my first time getting mushy peas which was awesome
Loaded Dirty Fries - the thick cut double fried fries hold up we’ll the whole way through - nearly knocked me out
Lobster Roll - tasty and probably the most unique thing we had, not sure I’d do it again, but I’m happy to try something I’d never be able to make at home.

so tasty - Edit
very tasty, we tried the burger, the Cäsar salad and the loaded fries, it was so delicious
Read morethe lemonades taste a little bit cheap, but not that bad
the staff is very friendly, maybe a little bit stressed
the prices are very fair
cheese, meat, bacon etc is very authentic
a part of the money for the service (12%) goes to an animal rescue organisation
maybe do a reservation online!
we'll definitely come again, recommend it for all tourist and inhabitants!
Pros: very delicious food, fair prices
Cons: the staff is a little bit stressed

We had fish and chips and a burger. Everything was really good. Even though the restaurant was fully booked, they managed to squeeze us in without a reservation. Staff was very nice and helpful. Great atmosphere.

Splendid food - Edit
Since we were already quite full from all the vegan food London has to offer, we only had room left for a little bite. Unfortunately so, because it was delicious. The main plates looked very big. We love the idea of donating to a charity by eating a nice meal.

Great variety - Edit
It’s great to see this place do so well. I do think for London it’s reasonably priced. There’s a great selection here (not just burgers which is always nice) but the food didn’t wow me, hence why 4 not 5 stars.

Breathes excellent vegan food - Edit
A diner that is fully vegan and of which proceeds go to vegan goals: that alone is commendable. The atmosphere was kind but sometimes I had to wait for a while due to understaffing (like everywhere).
Read moreI had excellent shrimps, and while the steak was good but more like salmon, I fell in love with the (literally) underlying vegetables and seasoning. The waffle for dinner was simply opulence in a simple kind, and a great way to finish dinner! The cocktail was a bit hyped, and while good, it didn't light sparks in my head. Still all in all 5 stars!
Nb reservations are recommended.
Pros: 100% vegan, Wonderful food
Cons: Cocktails are not sublime, still good

Definitely worth the visit, but short of spectacular. - Edit
Cool place with all vegan menu that has an assortment of vegan junk food. Very nice staff, but we had loaded fries and one main come out before receiving our appetizer. And they completely forgot about my VFC chicken burger which reflecting about it makes sense as it was truly forgettable.
Read moreThat being said, all and all a fun place and would return.
Pros: All vegan options, Fish is amazing, Non-profit restaurant
Cons: Service had food come out at wrong order, VFC Chicken is really not good

Nobody wants to eat a hot dog with a knife and fork - Edit
This place is okay for what it is... vegan junk food. It could be much better though.
Read moreThe 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! - Edit
Such a lovely restaurant and great staff.
Read moreThe 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
