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.

Nice place for ‘heavy’ vegan food - Edit
I’m happy I managed to visit this diner twice, but unfortunately they didn’t have the ‘steak’ Wellington and the ‘salmon’ when I was there. However, I did enjoy my meals. The portions were large and the food was rather heavy due to the abundant use of oils.
Read moreThe staff is nice and you get tap water for free. They automatically add 12,5% gratuity and a £0,50 donation for their sanctuary.

Wildly overrated - Edit
Booked this 2 month in advance for our anniversary. Got there and got forgotten about as “our table wasn’t ready”. The same waitress had to ask us twice and had completely forgotten she had already spoken to us.
Read moreGot sat on a table which felt like in the middle of the walkway. No room what so ever. Sat horizontally across the back of other tables where people were trying to get in and out. Really in the way.
Sat at the table and the waitress walked off. Sat there wondering what was happened. Next one walked up, asked if we’d like any drinks. No instruction that the menu is via QR code, just sort of expected to know what was happening
Food was bland and tasteless
No salt on the tables
Self serve Sunday dinner but £10 service charge…for what?!?
Really unimpressed about the entire situation.

Lovely Sunday Roast - Edit
Friendly helpful staff, help yourself veggies - buffet style. Great tasting food. I had the chicken and my gf had the lamb. Both were nice. We filled our plates and ate everything on them - I detest food waste. Sadly too full to manage seconds on the veggies or dessert. Highly recommended. Easy to find near to Liverpool St Station/ Brick Lane.

Good but not ‘amazing’ - Edit
Our first visit to Unity was great. We went specifically to try the vegan doner and we were not disappointed. It was better than expected. However, our 2nd visit was not so great. This time we had a doner bowl and the Tofish and Chips. The service was very slow (we had to chase or order) and the ‘Tofish’ was a complete let-down. All I could taste was the overcooked batter. We had originally planned to go back again for a carvery but we’ll probably give it a miss now.

Amazing Carvery - Edit
Went for the carvery and it was PERFECT. It was actually everything we could ask for, the trimmings were constantly being topped up so everything was super fresh and hot. Lovely desserts too. Very, very good value and money towards an animal sanctuary. Might actually be the perfect vegan restaurant.

Excellent Sunday Roast - Edit
The roast was an eat as much as you want buffet. You have one main food item (eg a vegetable wellington) plus a Yorkshire pudding and then add your sides. There was a very good choice (cauliflower cheese, carrots, parsnips, peas and greens, sprouts, stuffing etc) There were sauces and gravy. You can only have more sides. We were too full to have any more!
Read moreThe food was delicious (although we did find the potatoes were too salty).

Good food, but unimpressed with the service - Edit
As a long time vegan family we love trying new places and we travelled from Yorkshire, looking forward to a visit. The food was good, even the garnishes, some lovely combinations, all very tasty and well done. But the service really let the experience down for us and we had read all of the reviews saying the staff are great. I really want to give five stars to all vegan businesses, truly, but there was no chat or welcome at all, we felt weirdly judged as though we were non vegans, tables of four were crammed onto smaller tables while couples took up booths in the windows that could have seated 8. We watched the table next to us who arrived five minutes after us have their order taken first, water for the table took 20 minutes to arrive and one of our party had their food come out 10 mins after everyone else, and even those plates had been sat under the heat lamps for 5 mins at that point anyway. The server did apologise several times for the delays, but sadly for us it was a very lacklustre £100 spent, including an undeserved service charge, but at least some of it is going to Surge. We won't be returning.

Fancy but pricey - Edit
During my brief visit to London, Unity Diner was one of the "must-haves" on my bucket list, so I visited for the Sunday carvery.
Read moreUnfortunately, the "braised beef" was a totally wrong choice for me; it was just cheap textured soy protein with not even much flavour. Luckily, I can see this option has gone off the menu now! The trimmings were ok, and as usual, you can have them in unlimited amounts.
Staff were attentive, there is a lot of seating, and the place has a fancy vibe. I can easily imagine a date, a business lunch or a family event there.
On the financial side, it's pretty pricey and apart from the 12.5 % service fee, a 50pence "sanctuary optional donation" was also added to my bill. Which I do not mind paying at all, but it's strange to call it "optional" when I've not been informed about it beforehand.

Yummy comfort food - Edit
Really delicious food, with so many options! Highly recommend the mushrooms skewers, Mac and cheese and the salted Caramel cake. Lava Lavish Kebab was also pretty tasty. We tried the 3d printed salmon, it was okay but I probably wouldn't order it again, interesting concept, it's just not really salmon like in it's texture as it's not flakey. The creme brulee was mid, it's simple but again lacks the right texture. Service is simple, it's a very casual place with a qr code for a menu. Definitely want to go back and try the sunday roast and fish and chips

Outstanding Roast! - Edit
Possibly the best vegan roast I have ever had. I went with the braised lamb, Yorkshire pudding, and all the trimmings. So much flavour in everything and extremely satisfying. This was followed by sharing the salted caramel cake, which is delish! I cannot wait to come back to London just to come to Unity Diner.

10/10 Sunday roast - Edit
After seeing so much on instagram about unity diner, we had to go for Sunday lunch during our visit to London.
Read moreOh my god, it was devine.
The veg choice was amazing (no plain boring boiled veg) and the cracking was amazing. We had the chicken and lamb. The lamb was good but the chicken was amazing.
If you are wondering whether to give this place a try, don’t hesitate, book a table. You will not be disappointed.

Great: fast food with a healthy twist. - Edit
The menu has developed over the years. They still have the fast food theme and some of the classics (tofish is legendary and must be tried). There’s a healthier twist to some of their dishes (octopus on a pumpkin puree).

Go-to for really indulgent food - Edit
Any vegan in London has to go and try Unity Diner at least once (you’ll wanna come back anyway).
Read moreLots of guilty pleasures and so so good. Some of our favorites are their hot dog and Unity Döner but there’s also a ton we haven’t tried yet during our many visits.
The absolute highlight for me personally though is always the dessert. The menu changes frequently and whenever I thought I’ve had the best dessert ever they surprise me with a new creation.
Super friendly staff too and part of your bill goes towards an animal sanctuary. It can’t get any better. 💚
