So much more than words can transmit

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.

Pros: Amazing food , Wonderful staff , Ethical interior

Really „real“ fish ‚n‘ chips

Really good tasting food and kind waiters. Just a little pricy

So good!!

We had the Mozarella sticks, the tofish & chips and the lobster sub and everything was sooo good (especially the Mozarella Sticks). The Lotus Shake is also a 10/10! You should definitely come and try😍😍

Yummy

We just wanted to grab a quick cocktail since we'd already eaten. But because we were curious, we ended up having two small bites. Very tasty!

Prices in London are what they are...


We were there again and ate Mozzarella Sticks as a starter. The fish and chips and Hotdog as the Main Menu.
We liked it a lot.

classic

a classic fish and chips, although i felt no catch in brighton had better "fish", this was also quite good, and unity definitely had better peas and sauce. the portion is gigantic, i was not able to eat all of it.

Best Sunday Roast!

As a Canadian I have never had a Sunday roast, but I can't imagine it being any better than this. We had the Cashew Sage Nut Roast and the Root Vegetable Wellington. Everything was great, but I was particularly amazed at the cheesy sides, that actually tasted cheesy. I hope to go back again before I leave to try the other roast options and another Biscoff Sundae.

Sehr delikates Essen mit lauter Musik

Wir hatten ein sehr leckeres Essen, auf das wir allerdings 1 Stunde warten mussten. Man nimmt das zwar in Kauf, aber wir werden nächstes Mal besser planen, wenn wir sehr hungrig sind.

Pros: Qualität des Speisen

Cons: Lange Wartezeit

Amazing vegan carvery

We’ve been several times before to Unity Diner, but having the vegan carvery on a Sunday is something else! There’s so many delicious options to choose from, I cannot recommend it enough for Sunday roast lovers!

Good food but way to pricey for the quality

The food is good/average. It’s a buffet and everything seems to be made from scratch. The costs for the food is always 22.5 Pounds which is only worth it when you go several times. The given portion of the main dish is really small. The rest are mostly simply vegetables. It does taste good but in comparison for me it was too expensive.

a bit underwhelming

We tried their popular tofish & chips as well as the calamari. I've never had real fish and chips so I don't know what it's supposed to taste like but there was some sweetness to the fish I didn't really like. However, both the pea dip and the dill dip that were served along with it were very delicious! The calamari were good, the house lemonades were good too but tasted less natural than expected, more like mocktails. The staff was kind, the ambiance was alright, though there was a strange smell by the entrance

The best vegan food I've eaten ..

.. and I've eaten at vegan restaurants both in the UK and in many European cities. At Unity Diner I normally visit on a Saturday so choose dishes from their a la carte menu, but I've also visited on a Sunday and enjoyed their Sunday buffet (vegan versions of a Sunday roast - self service, eat as much as you like.) Service is always friendly and helpful, maybe not always as quick as I'd like but worth waiting for.

Pros: Excellent soft serve icecream , Friendly and helpful staff, The kebabs are tasty

Cons: Sometimes food takes a little longer to arrive

Nice food

Overall nice food, some dishes are great and others are ok but not fantastic. It’s also a bit smelly inside (smells like their extractor fan isn’t working hard enough). But I really like going here

Carvery to live for

Everyone talks about how great Unity diner is, so I assumed it would be a bit overrated. How wrong I was. This place is incredible!!! We went on Sunday for the carvery and the amount of choice was amazing. If you are indecisive, this might not be the place for you - or you will need a massive plate.

Fast Food

Wir mussten relativ lange auf unser Essen warten, es wurde uns aber kommuniziert, dass es etwas länger gehen würde.
Das Essen war eher mittelmässig. Der BBQ Burger ist okay aber überhaupt nichts spezielles, der Coleslaw schmeckt sehr nach Mayonnaise, die Döner Bowl ist zu würzig / scharf und nicht besonders toll und die hausgemachten Limonaden sind vermutlich Sirup mit Sprudelwasser.
Alles in allem eher Fast Food als Restaurant Essen.

Pros: Einrichtung, Auswahl an Essen

Cons: Laute Musik, Alles sehr fest gewürzt

Good wide range

I absolutely loved the wide range of food available at Unity Diner. The milkshake and sundae were excellent!!! The main food was great too, but I think I expected a little bit better quality/realistic fake meat than was served. The cheese in the mozzarella sticks was also a bit sweet, I would’ve preferred it to be saltier. It was still really tasty though. I’d definitely come back, even just for another milkshake.

Sunday

I came here during Sunday during the buffet when there was not an a la carte option from the menu. The food was great but didn't think it was a great value especially with all the service charges, etc.

Pros: Wellington

It was good

I liked the place and the atmosphere, the staff was kind and helpful, and i also liked that they charge 50p per person for the Surge Sanctuary, by default. I was really in a "take my money" mood 😂 However, I was a little disappointed with food 😔 i got the tofish and chips and it was just too much for me: too greasy (and I love fried food!), the portion too big, I had some stomach problems later in the evening... I dont know, it just didn't go through properly 😭😭😭 And i could only eat half of it. However the biskoff Sundae was amazing (I almost didn't order it cause I was so full after half of my plate). I'm glad I ordered it eventually.

Pros: Good atmosphere, I felt almost on a pilgrimage, Kind staff

Cons: I didn't like very much the tofish & chips 😭😭😭

Great tofish&chips

so exciting to find vegan fish& chips so we didn’t miss out on a classic while in the uk! weirdly enough maps did take us to the back entrance (and we saw a few others have the same situation too) but it was no problem! We got mozzarella sticks, potato salad, caesar salad, and the tofish and chips. it was all excellent! the mozz sticks are two big sticks so if you’re sharing with multiple people, i would get a few orders. they were divine and came with a great sweet jalapeno sauce we loved. the tofish and chips was so good and interesting how they can kind of create such a cool texture with the tofu!
