Temple of Seitan Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was hot, tasty, nicely spiced without excess and clearly very fresh."

• "Really tasty vegan food - order the mac and cheese, ‘chicken’ strips and the burger and they were well seasoned."
• "The food was fantastic, especially the fries where really nice."

Cons:

• "The worst 'burger' I've ever tasted truly. Compared to a real burger with actual meat it is awful. Dry and tasteless."
• "The seitan chicken was very spongy in texture with little flavour and the chips weren’t seasoned at all."
• "Low quality meat and standard workers with no experience in making proper food, just add a ready made sauce to low quality fried meat."
• "The place has gone so downhill... Shawarma wrap? Soggy onion wrap!"
• "The food was lacking in flavour and was a bit gummy and soggy, not crispy at all."
• "The burger was a bit disappointing... it lacked flavour and was a bit dry."

Service

Pros:

• "Staff very friendly and welcoming with advice on what to do."
• "Staff were friendly and really checked orders properly."
• "The staff nice and friendly. Service was incredible."

Cons:

• "One star deducted because you still have to order online and the website is buggy - the order kept wiping itself and needing to be re-input."
• "Never again! It took ages to order cause you need to use an app even if you go directly there. The app is full of bugs and the UX is terrible."
• "It also took quite a while for the food to arrive."
• "The service was really really slow."
• "Service was incredibly slow (the girl who was bagging the food looked like she was going in slow motion)."
• "It also took about 20 minutes for the food to come out and the staff were pretty rude."
• "Used to love this brand but the service now is absolutely shocking - staff are outright rude, the tables are dirty and they close up early."

Atmosphere & Location

Pros:

• "If you take a lovely stroll down the canal side from Camden, you’ll come to this absolute gem!"
• "The atmosphere is nice, not too loud so you can go for a good catch up."
• "Cool location too, when the sun is shining you can take your food and go sit by the canal."
• "The Camden location is actually really refreshing because it's a little out of the way and so not surrounded by so many people."
• "Lovely location next to the river behind the wall, the appearance and decor was a cool vibe."
• "The decor of the restaurant was bright, fun and neat and tidy."
• "The place is really cozy and the food is fantastic."

Cons:

• "This branch has limited indoor seating though so you need to pick your time well."
• "The place is dirty and greasy all over."
• "The inside is also quite a tight squeeze, particularly when you want to enter or exit the building, so it can be quite awkward at times."
• "The ambiance and decor means it’s not the best place for a date or nicer dinner."
• "The restaurant at Camden was dirty, even though it was practically empty. Dirty napkins lying around. Food and sauce over the tables."
• "The place is cold, a bit grubby and decor a bit sad."
• "The whole layout is not very inviting for you to chill and enjoy your meal."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The portions are generous & it's not too expensive considering its location."
• "The staff are friendly, the food is delicious and it is good value for London."
• "Paid £19 for 2 burgers, a large fries (very very large as you can see on the picture) plus a lemonade."
• "More expensive than your average 'chicken' shop, but well worth it and still cheap compared to other vegan restaurants."
• "The prices are reasonable and not too expensive."
• "Their prices are reasonable too, really worth it for what you get even for the sides of decent portions!"
• "Very affordable combos (27 euros for the 2 people combo and it was a lot of food for 2 starving adults 😂)."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately opening in the heart of Camden means queues and wait times are incredibly long, but the staff are energetic and wonderful."
• "Little pricey, 4 wings for 8 pounds."
• "It’s expensive for what it is and there’s lots of better places in Camden."
• "Burger was £9.50 on its own, so not cheap, but I enjoyed it so felt happy enough."
• "Prices are a bit more expensive that other fast food places, but that's to be expected when having meat alternatives."
• "The portions were enormous for £11... Smaller portions for less dosh please."
• "I still can't believe I've spent 40 quid to try this."
