The only restaurant I will drive over an hour for - which is exactly what we did. I’ve only been here 4 times - the first was over 10 years ago - it was my first introduction to Persian food and let me tell you, my taste buds were amazed. I went again soon after my first visit but I just never forgot it and had been planning for years to return but never got an opportunity as it’s so far. I took my friends in 2023 and they were blown away by the food and have been asking to go back since then, which we did a few days ago. I have to say, not only is Persian food my favourite cuisine now but this restaurant has been consistently great since I first went many years ago until now. Food is delicious - full of flavour and meat is succulent - even the chicken is cooked to perfection. The prices are great and portions are huuuuge. Restaurant is busy and has a lovely atmosphere. I didn’t book a table but we would’ve happily waited as long as necessary to eat here - luckily the wait was only about 15 minutes this time. Service is very good with waiters being very attentive. I just love this place and kind of glad I don’t live near here because I’d get obese from eating here every day - not to mention, poor too! Will return soon though. The restaurant is decorated quite traditionally - even though it clearly hasn’t had a revamp in decades, it works because I suppose it adds to the charm of the place and love the little tandoor area at the front of the restaurant. The only downside however is that the restaurant is not wheelchair friendly or accessible at all - there are steps to all of the dining areas.
My family have been coming here for years and Behesht has only improved. The food is so tasty, and no Persian restaurant can make buttery rice better than Behesht. They have good portions and prices are not bad. My go-to is always chelo kebab koobideh because it’s always well seasoned, grilled and succulent. Every time I introduce a friend to Persian food, I always take them to Behesht and they love it so much that they want to go again! The decor is so beautiful and traditional. I love how they incorporate Shia and Persian decor since most Iranian restaurants here are either afraid of or resent any link to Islam. Behesht is so authentic and it makes me feel like I’m in Iran with the beautiful waterfall sounds and traditional music/decor. The service is always good and the staff are so helpful and nice. I have never had any issue with Behesht and this has been my favourite restaurant since childhood.
Behesht Restaurant has been a beloved part of our community for as long as I can remember, and I’ve had the pleasure of dining here for over 20 years. It’s not just a restaurant—it’s an institution, a place where tradition, flavor, and warmth come together to create an unforgettable experience. Every visit feels like coming home, thanks to the welcoming atmosphere and the kind, attentive staff who go above and beyond to make you feel special. But let’s be honest, the real star of the show is the food. The mix platter is legendary, a perfect harmony of flavors that never fails to impress. The saffron rice is aromatic and perfectly cooked, while the naan bread, served with their signature chutney, is simply divine. And let’s not forget the drinks—their ayran is refreshingly tangy, and the mojitos are always spot-on, making every meal feel like a celebration.nnWhat truly amazes me is how Behesht has maintained its exceptional quality and authentic taste over the years. It’s rare to find a restaurant that stays so consistent, and that’s why it holds a special place in my heart. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, Behesht never disappoints. If you’re looking for a dining experience that combines great food, excellent service, and a sense of community, this is the place to be. Thank you, Behesht, for two decades of incredible meals and memories—here’s to many more!
Behesht is an absolute delight! The food is spot on, full of vibrant, rich flavours, with everything from juicy kebabs to fragrant rice cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is lovely too, with a warm and cosy vibe that feels both traditional and modern. Service is friendly and attentive, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal or special occasion. Highly recommend if you're after some top-notch Persian food!
One of Our Favourites!nWe've visited Behesht Restaurant in Kensal Green on several occasions, and it never disappoints. The setting is warm and inviting, with beautiful decor and a charming, welcoming atmosphere.nThe food is consistently outstanding — fresh, flavourful, and prepared to a very high standard. On our latest visit, we started with three delicious dishes, including the Mirza Ghasemi, which was full of rich, smoky flavour. For our main, we shared the Mixed Grill Platter for Two — a generous and perfectly cooked selection of meats. We finished with Faloodeh for dessert, which was wonderfully refreshing.nThe service is always friendly and professional, and the restaurant itself is spotlessly clean. We never manage to take any photos because we’re always too busy tucking in! It’s definitely a place we’ll keep returning to whenever we’re in the area.nnFollow more of my reviews and activities on Instagram: @h_bermani
