Facing Heaven - (Near Hackney, london)

Eve Overton 10/10 experience and lovely service ❤️ The food was so lovely and really flavourful. Especially the okra fries. Definitely will come back when I have the chance ☺️

Eva Rosa Atra Best tofu katsu Ive ever had, tasty food in general, great curry sauce. If you come Mon-Fri between 12-15 you get the full meal at discounted price. As I usually have takeaway, the picture shows the meal on my plate and sakurazuke (Daikon radish) is my own addition (you get pickled ginger in the restaurant instead). Lovely staff, I highly recommend this place.

Karolina Honzová Such an amazing place! The food is absolutely delicious, the flavours and textures were so interesting! They offer an amazing value for money too imo. Will be coming back as the menu changes fairly frequently

Heather Such a great modern Korean place in Hackney. The food is authentic, but the vibe is really modern. Highly recommended if you’re trying Korean food for the first time, or as a spot for a first or second date 추천메뉴는 회무침, 강된장입니다

Eric Chan We went to Behind for a special occasion, and honestly, it delivered exactly what I hoped it would, and then some. It’s Michelin starred, but it doesn’t feel stiff or intimidating, which I really appreciated. The fish focused tasting menu was genuinely spectacular. Every course felt thoughtful and confident, clean flavours, beautifully cooked, nothing trying too hard to show off. You can tell this is a kitchen that knows exactly what it’s doing. It’s absolutely worthy of its star, no question. Credit where it’s due to Chef Andy Beynon, the cooking here feels calm, assured, and very intentional. I really liked the open kitchen setup. There’s a nice energy in the room, you can see the team working, but it never feels chaotic or distracting. It actually adds to the experience and makes the whole place feel more alive. We did the wine pairing and I’m glad we did. The selections were spot on, and the sommelier explained each wine in a way that was clear and engaging without being pretentious or overbearing. It flowed naturally with the meal and elevated the whole experience. Overall, this is a great spot for a date or an anniversary. Refined but relaxed, special without being stuffy. One of those meals you leave feeling quietly impressed rather than overwhelmed, and that, to me, is exactly what a great restaurant should do.

Steve Weir Fantastic! Friendly helpful staff that clearly care a lot about giving guests a positive experience! A little cramped in the dining area, but still a nice ambience! Good job lads, everything tasted amazing, but particular hats-off to the chefs special rice!
