Harden's says
A sibling to Highbury’s Lupa is coming to Hackney in Spring 2026. The chef – Naz Hassan – grew up in Milano and the aim is a local Italian but with the repertoire of slightly more formal Northern Italian cucina. Co-owner Ed Templeton is co-founder of Fitzrovia hit Carousel and it’s the second project in partnership with actor Theo James.

Not enough people have commented yet
Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.
Do you think it deserves to be better known?
Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.
For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
