Hiden Japanese Curry & Café

Hiden Japanese Curry & Café

Opening Latest Branch at Finsbury Park

Foodies and fans of Japanese cusine delight as the Hiden Japanese Curry expands its unique concept to a new cafe diner along Finsbury Park’s trendy Stroud Green Road, nearly three years after its first outlet at London’s Coal Drops Yard launched in the midst of a COVID lockdown. 

Opening its doors to their first diner-style eatery – at 53 Stroud Green Road, Finsbury Park N4 – the friendly and passionate team is now wooing new and loyal customers with their signature Japanese curries – for both meat lovers and plant-based fans – together with an enlarged menu of all-day Japanese-led fare, and a tiny concept-store retail corner.

Heads up the family-run team explains:

“I’m so proud of the team; we’ve achieved what I believe is a first for London, recreating the atmosphere of a modern-day kissaten in the heart of the one of the buzziest neighbourhoods. ”

As afficionados of Japan may know, a kissaten is a unique blend of a French-style bistro and a Japanese tea-room. Alongside their eponymous curries now sits other ever-popular favourties such as kara-age and katsu as well as lite-bites such as japanese-style sweet and savoury pastries, croissandos and cakes, all of which can be washed down with a special selection of Japanese teas, sake, beer, and wine. For those needing a caffeine hit, the baristas have been trained under the watchful eye of Preethi of HR Higgins Coffee, a top name in the coffee world who has sourced the best coffees and trained the young team how to bring out the best from the beans.

Japanese authenticty shines through. Using only the highest quality produce, the food is all freshly prepared on-premises by multi-talented Hiroki Uda, the protégé of Hiden’s co-founder and former chef Hideyaki Yoshiyama, from whom he inherited the secret recipes of Hiden’s renowned curries. This is all served up dinnerware specifically crafted by local artist Reiko Kaneko, in an interior designed by award-winning Franco-Japanese studio Takagicapéran, deeply imbued with shibui aesthetic revealing a Japanese love for informal elegance and linear beauty. 

The energetic team at the Hiden project have what they believe is a winning formula, bringing a slice of Japanese with authentic food and the iconic spirit of omotenashi hospitality at uncharactristically affordable prices.

Welcoming all foodies now.
