About Behesht Restaurant (Kensal Green)

Behesht is one of the most well-known Persian restaurants in London, which offers a great selection of authentic and delicious Persian cuisine with attentive and excellent service. When seated, the kitchen acts as an attraction for guests as they watch chefs prepare and bake bread in the special Tanour bread oven and kebabs on the traditional grill.

Behesht offer a menu based on traditional dining experiences in Iran where small to medium sized dishes are shared amongst the table. The food is authentic but done with a refined approach and a deft interpretation of a classic cuisine. The plate size encourages sharing in the traditional dining style of Iran.

The dining experience in this bustling Persian restaurant is fulfilled as guests experience the great ambience of the tearoom while drinking authentic Iranian tea. Behesht restaurant is located on Harrow Road; just few minutes walk from Kensal Green station.

Behesht came with a reputation but sadly did not meet our expectations when we visited at the end of January.

On arrival we were seated in what was a fairly cramped space, considering that there was a lot of space in the room we were in, this seemed unnecessary.
We ordered our food and beverages but were informed that tap water was not something that the restaurant provided - I would highlight to the restaurant that this is a legal requirement of any restaurant in the UK.
The food arrived quite quickly - we ordered starters and mains, but for all the positives that the speed of the service offered, this was let down by the overall quality and flavour of the food. The portion sizes in Behesht are sizeable, it is true, but this has a detrimental effect on the quality I would suggest. Possibly the biggest let down was the Zereshk Polo, usually a family favourite, the dish lacked all flavour and I ate only two mouthfuls.
Perhaps more concerning was the lack of any impetus of the staff - there was no recommendations, no highlighting of the size of the portions and no questions asked about our experience or food - this was from all staff members we encountered.

Prior to this visit, we were considering bringing our family, sadly though, it will not be a restaurant we will be returning too. With regret, it is not a restaurant I can recommend.

Food was fresh and amazing i loved it, but the stuff were so unpleasant and I didn’t see any friendly environment even though I am Iranian as well. The receptionist was so kind but others even didn’t try to communicate. It’s a shame to have at least 7 stuff and all the same :). First and last time to go there. Please provide deodorant for one of stuff thank you.

My first time in a Persian Restaurant and I totally enjoyed the food, place, service and my time here with my friends. We booked a reservation and were accommodated immediately upon arrival. We went here on a Sunday, and it got crowded and busy around 1pm-3pm so come early or just have a reservation. Worth a visit!

Friendly atmosphere with fascinating Persian decor. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The cuisine is similar to a Greek/Turkish menu. The food was ok - I have tasted better though. It is child and family friendly so I'd recommend it for a family meal. Parking might be a challenge due to the location but we visited at about 9:30pm so it was not too hard to find a spot.

It’s my first time to a Persian Restaurant. I went with my husband and my toddler, I just LOVE IT. The staff is amazing, friendly and the service impeccable. The place is easy to locate and access. The interior of the restaurant is perfectly done, once you enter you disconnect from UK and it just takes you away to Persia… THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS and portions are big.. there is a service charge on top of the food, but honestly they deserve it and I was happy to pay it. Overall, I had a good experience thanks to you guys. Definitely to come back and I’ll speak about you to my friends and family.
Thank you for this unforgettable dinner.
