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.

Last call! - Edit
The venue was busy and a little loud, but I hadn't tried this diner yet and didn't want to miss it. My partner had their star dish, tofish and chips, and I chose the lobster roll. The roll was really good but it's true that their fried fish is the best–very much like fish in both taste and texture. Dessert was less convincing as the tiramisu tasted like custard instead of creamy mascarpone. Too bad the place is closing down; I would give it another try!

Okay but not great - Edit
Okay but not great. Service was very slow, dishes were hit & miss. Some were cold and the tiramisu was slop.

A game changer in vegan cuisine - Edit
Sadly closing for good on the 1st Feb, this is one of the most amazing places to find great vegan food. The Tofish and chips are outstanding, the texture is incredible and the batter is perfect.
Read moreThe "steak" with peppercorn sauce just delightful.
We are absolutely gutted to see this place close and had to make the trip from Stoke and Austria to say goodbye and enjoy the incredible food.

Really sorry but not good - Edit
I admit I’m a tough customer, but was disappointed to find most of the menu was off limits when I told them I’m intolerant to mushrooms. I ended up having the steak with a special sauce and honestly it was just bad. The sauce was pure oil, the steak seemed to be juicy marbles as opposed to the redefined advertised, and the veg portions were very small. And all for £27.50 including service charge. I think that’s the most expensive single main I’ve ever eaten and not even close to one of the best.
Read moreI love their ethics and want to support the sanctuary but the meal and its price really weren’t good.

So sad it’s closing :( - Edit
I have loved eating at Unity Diner & I’m so sad it’s closing. I hope they can start up in a new location.
Read moreI just found out today that No Catch in Brighton is their sister restaurant so I’m hoping I can get tofish & chips from there! And of course, it’ll support Surge Sanctuary

Great intro for non vegans - Edit
The vibe was good, staff friendly. Great menu for introducing some fav dishes to people. Not really my taste though. The tiramisu was just a glass of cream. The steak was amazing. The cocktails whilst brilliantly named, were not very nice to drink. Sure if you like fish it is a good place to go.

Really nice experience but not my favorite - Edit
We made a reservation in advance to make sure it would be possible to visit this restaurant. It was a must for us, and we planned to include this in our trip, specially after reading the amazing reviews, and also it was very meaningful for us.
Read moreBy curiosity, we asked for a 3D steak with mushroom sauce and it was an amazing experience! The texture is good and the taste also good, but not too complex as I expected. We also tried the Fish 'n Chips and it was my favorite one. The service was a little bit slow, but the house was full. The passion fruit lemonade was amazing!
I recommend it, totally worth a try, even if it's a little more expensive as usual. 🌱

Vegan food how it shouldn't be - Edit
All vegan, if your desperate to find a place to eat which serves vegan food, this place is the right one.
Read moreIf you search for a creative, tasty Cousine, this place is the wrong one.
You'll get a meat menu with the ingredients switch with vegan options.
The food was boring and tasted blunt.
Service was great, but we were disappointed in regards of all the top ratings this place got.
Pros: Service, Speed
Cons: Uncreative, "Meat" menu

Perfect - we’ll be back in a couple of days - Edit
The food was so fresh and perfectly presented and prepared. Tofish and chips was unreal. Service great. Booking was easy. Can’t fault this fantastic restaurant - I loved that the menu wasn’t huge but had a thoughtful range and what they did they did really well.

Good, but not great - Edit
Unity Diner has a nice concept and mission, but compared to other vegan restaurants in London, it fell a bit short. While the food was decent, we’ve had much better dining experiences elsewhere in the city.

Tasty but pricey - Edit
It was a very nice dining experience at Unity Diner. Some of our dishes were absolute bangers and others were just above average. My wife’s meatballs starter was rather small and ok but my lobster mac and cheese was large and divine. Tofish and chips was huge, well priced and my wife loved the incredibly crispy batter but my steak was… overpriced, no other way of putting it.
Read more2 courses and a hot drink each was c. £80 Inc gratuity. I’d go again but be a bit more strategic in choices.
Pros: Mostly tasty food, some belting dishes
Cons: Spendy

It was delicious, but too expensive - Edit
We ordered the steak which was tasty (well, it was Redefine 💚) and the potatoes and sauce were really good, but they over prepared and dried the steak, and for this price I would have expected a better preparation.
