Behesht Restaurant in Brent

Freshly made naan. Tender juicy kebabs with refreshing doogh.. On point

This place amazing for authentic Persian food. The portions are great, meats are succulent and perfectly cooked. The service is great. They really do look after you. It is also great value. 5 of us dined and we ate more than well and still had food left over, with drinks and cocktails (mocktails), The bill was £140. That's less than £30 per head. We were well and truly stuffed with food to take home too. The only criticism would be that the seating in the section we were in got uncomfortable after a short while. Whilst they have a theme of Persian furniture, the chairs were not conducive to the atmosphere as they became a little uncomfortable. Other than that I would highly recommend Behesht.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of Our Favourites! We'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. The 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. The 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. Follow more of my reviews and activities on Instagram: @h_bermani

Very delicious food، great service، reasonable prices، huge portions

They just need to train their stuff how to speak to customers that's all

I ordered khoresht gheimeh it came with Crisps topping instead of real chips and I've never ever in my life ate so oily food , meat cubes were about four small pieces inside the oily salty stew. The rice was good , the kashk bademjan was ready made I think it tasted weird not fresh made. the workers were friendly and kind.

Went with a friend both ended up woth food poisoning

Horrible place to eats. Never recommend any one to dine there. They serve Rotten food. Meat is so smelly

Been here a few times from TikTok and it’s made me appreciate Persian food. The starter aubergine dishes are unreal with the bread. Very filling and good portion size

I order a takeaway, i’ve eaten at this restaurant many times inside, and many times for takeaway. Ali waliyullah, whoever spoke to me on the phone and said that i have to contact the just eat to sort my order out, and eat my food. You need to be fired, wallah you have no customer service. You are a shame to Iran. I will never order from this place again. I promise i will tell everyone how bad this place is. Who are you to hang the phone on me. I called the resturant at 21:36 on Friday 2 May.

Honestly it was not great as we had expected, real test but unfortunately it wasn’t enjoyable. Highly priced, also different price inside menu and online.

Busy but great customer service and big food portions.

The food is not really good , portion is good, Service awful, atmosphere 😐

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.

I have been going to this restaurant for about 20 years and it's consistently delivered! Food is beyond amazing, portion sizes are rare to find now days HUGE!! I bought my family here and they were all so happy and satisfied. They have a prayer room too.

The food are disgusting, the pictures will proove the meat has really bad smell ,ended in the bin ..

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!

Cramped and cluttered, Our group came with 1 extra person than the booking stated so we ended up leaving to eat elsewhere due to lack of seating options, Table space is limited

Persian restaurant with beautiful decor, food plus good service but hard to find parking space outside the restaurant.

Meat dishes are ok but please avoid chicken it wasn't fresh and cooked properly food ** service *** atmosphere ****

Kabab Makhsoos (Barg, Koobideh) was nice and juicy 💦 one of the stews we tried was just too greasy🛢️🫤 overall a good experience and a good atmosphere 👏🏻

Amazing food ! Probably the best Iranian we tried in London. Portions are huge and prices are great ! Please give it a try

The hygiene level is disgusting. Imagine finding hair in one food and a bug alive in the other food. I have been a loyal customer and I’ve loved having food there however when my friend found a bug (alive) on her plate, they replaced her food but not mine which had a hair and they denied it. Like no accountability whatsoever and I have personally introduced this restaurant to so many of my friends. Never again. Very disappointing. Imagine going from work to eat food on an empty stomach to finding hair and bugs in both mine and my friend food. I will inform everyone on this incident, I personally will not be eating food there and would rather prefer Kish restaurant. At least kish food is hairless and bugles.

Such a cute atmosphere and environment to be in, so cultural and home feeling. Definitely will visit again.

Excellent and authentic Persian restaurant! We came back after 10 years and it did not disappoint. Masud, the owner of the restaurant, was very welcoming and nice with us. Highly recommended!

Possibly the worst Persian restaurant I’ve been to spent nearly £200 and the most bland meat platters, dry nan and dry tasteless rice. Waiters had attitude and customer service was non existent. Would definitely not recommend this place.

I have been to this restaurant a couple of times. Had it not been for food I may not have returned because the service is quite pathetic. The waiters didn't serve any plates or glasses, we had to ask for it. There was no coherence and the waiters delivered food in wrong sequence. With a 10% obligatory service charge it is quite putting off. The only positive is that the food tastes nice although in some cases chicken was undercooked.

Always worth the drive down, great memories at this special and unique restaurant. :)

Their food is the best. Their atmosphere is amazing. However on Eid 2025, I am really sorry to say and please forgive me but I drove 18 miles one way to be told to join a queue of walk-in people and wait for 2.5/3 hours. Unfortunately, I had to leave. I will come back again, but there were families, children and people waiting to just grab a table and only sadly one person was managing the queue and list. I just hope no else opens a restaurant like them, because I dont want to break my loyalty with this place. Management @ Behesht please take note and organise this better. You really have a high profile to maintain. Thanks

Waited 2 hours and they still haven’t let us in and a few family’s also left before us because of how long we had to wait and also the manager was speaking very aggressively to my dad and horrible management and got my clothes dirty because he spilt food on me ( by accident)

Would give no stars if I could. Had an absolutely deplorable experience, waited 2 hours in the queue despite having a booking reservation. Rubbish communication and organisation by the manager- who also lacks manners as we were told to leave. Staff were also incompetent and were avoiding answering our questions. Would not recommend going there based off this experience.

Disappointing experience with the service. I waited for an hour and a half to be seated, only to leave in frustration without ever being accommodated. Completely wasted my time.

Rubbish management I had waited over 2 hours in the queue and one of the staff had spoken to me in a rude manner.

Disgraceful experience, waited 2 hours in the ‘walk in cue’ where at least 50 people before us had walked out. Extremely poor communication and organisation by the manager who was clearly overwhelmed.

We visited for the first time and we loved the food. The atmosphere is amazing.

Love this place always come here for Ramadan to break my fast. Food portions are very generous and worth the price. I would recommend booking as this place is always busy.

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.

It’s my restaurant so it’s is good, but my son thinks it is exceptional in every category even though I have not told him the owners rent this place of me and they made it into a restaurant.

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. What 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 restaurant always fascinates me and my family also friends. We are its customers for over 15 years in a row this mean atleast once every month, last week we had our office dinner and it was fantastic.

Very delicious Persian food. (Halal food).

It's so nice place and food was a amazing.

An atmospheric restaurant on the outskirts of London. Typical Iranian. Great food

Really good Iranian food with a traditional atmosphere. The price is very reasonable and the service friendly. Will definitely be coming back here, and recommend for a relaxing Sunday lunch.

Nice portions. Food made with love and care.

Amazing place to bring family. Mix grill very nice

Very friendly staff! Highly recommended! Good food and superb customer service especially from our hoist Iman. Will be back soon.

This restaurant serves the worst and lowest-quality Iranian food. Do not trust it at all because the food is extremely poor in quality. Don’t ruin your day by going to this low-quality restaurant. I’m sorry to see that they offer delicious Iranian cuisine at such a terrible standard.

Our second visit to this remarkable restaurant has left us more than satisfied with the overall dining experience. The food quality is truly outstanding, with delectable Kebabs (Koobideh and Barg) that are simply sensational. The Ashe-reshte appetizer boasted an authentic flavor that was a delight to savor. To top it off, the tea pot and Baklava dessert proved to be the perfect finale to our meal. The professionalism and respectfulness of the staff further enhanced our experience and solidified our decision to return in the near future. We eagerly anticipate our next visit to indulge in the culinary delights this restaurant has to offer.

I go to the restaurant. The food was excellent. The Service was excellent. I gave him five star . Thanks for everything

Terrible food. Foul smelling lamb kabobs, very greasy. Khoresht fesenjan was awful. The rice was good and the bread was very good. The staff however, are extremely nice, kind and quick.

Beautiful place and very friendly staff but ,unfortunately, the food was not tasty at all.We ordered a special kabab with rice.The rice tasted stale, and the kebab didn't taste fresh or delicious at all. Unfortunately, it was a bad experience.

First time visiting this restaurant and we were not disappointed. From the starters to the mains, everything was delicious. Personally, I liked the decor, with heavy tables and chairs, and quirky decor. No issues with the service, the staff was responsive when called and the food arrived timely. A great experience, will visit again. Food recommendations? Go for the lamb stews (lamb neck was delicious)

Tasty food, great portion size and warm setting

I’ve ordered the lamb kebabs and they were succulent perhaps a little salty but was offset with the salad. A little disappointed as the waiter told me he was from Iraq and asked for a tip which made me feel a little awkward.

Excellent place.. food is always excellent.. Can be busy sometimes. Music was too loud as there was a birthday party. Which can be annoying for other people eating Service charge should be optional ! Overall it's a great place to eat authentic halal Persian food.

Went with my daughter, a friend and her children and we all loved it. Also it was their first time trying Persian food so we will be going again

If someone prioritizes quantity over quality, then behesht is the best option.

I’ve been a loyal customer of this restaurant for 10 years, but over the past two years, the food quality has declined drastically. I ordered from them again a few days ago, and I was absolutely appalled. I got three different stews, and all of them were watery, completely flavourless, and lacked even the slightest hint of salt. The kebab and chicken were rock-hard, tasteless, and undercooked. On top of that, the portion sizes have shrunk significantly while the quality has nosedived. My total bill came to £90, and I felt completely scammed. At first, I wanted to believe that maybe just one dish was bad and give them the benefit of doubt, but no—every single item I ordered was awful. This restaurant has become nothing but a scam. I would strongly advise people to avoid it at all costs. Customers work hard for their money, and this is what they’re being served? If you’re going to raise prices, at least maintain the food quality. At this rate, the place deserves to be shut down.

Food portion large but they give you take away container

Great service, the food is impeccable, mocktails delightful and amazing tea. Loved it! Second visit within weeks, will definitely go again!

Horrible experience. Had plastic in my food. Staff got my order wrong. When asked about plastic they said sorry this soup was a plastic in microwave hence why it has bit of plastic. Will not go there again

Amazing food as well as service.

This is a review from a few weeks back. I hadn’t been here for a while and wasn’t disappointed! Juicy kebabs great atmosphere and pocket friendly!

This restaurant is arguably the best Persian restaurant, both in and around London. I don’t have to advocate for that too much seeing as they are full of customers everyday. I have been coming here for over 10 years and the food has always been top tier. Not once have I personally had a bad experience or any inconsistency in taste. The decor is just stunning, with gems of Persia all around the walls and hanging from the ceilings. They are busy so it may take some time for your food to arrive but I would say that the wait is worth it.

Great portion sizes but needs better seasoning and more better sauces.

Best Iranian restaurant in London. Large. Portions, god price and everyone is lovely. Thank you so much! Merci!

As a lover of Persian food, having tried Molana, Persian Palace, Berenjak, and Boof, I can confidently say this is the worst Persian restaurant we have ever visited. Even though we had a booking, we had to wait 40 mins to be seated. The service is appalling, the waiter was huffing and puffing as he was taking our order. The manager is rude and was giving the staff a hard time. We had to continuously ask for things, like cutlery, food, the bill. The restaurant is very poorly managed. The food was average, absolutely nothing special about it. The chicken was very chewy and the soup was not edible. The tables and chairs are not fit for purpose, it is hard wood with small rugs on them. No cushioning or comfort, and the seats are all cramped together. You can’t sit for more than 15 mins without your back starting to ache. All in all, I would not recommend Behesht. Although the restaurant is decorated really nice with beautiful frames and pieces dotted around. However, they should focus more on their food quality and friendliness.

My elder brother showed me this place and since after me and my family became a big big fan of kobideh and joje kebab. Extremely juicy and always love to be around if in London specially. Miss you Behesht.

I was tired and starving after work and decided to order food from this place. When I called, they told me to order through Deliveroo. I placed my order and waited for 1.5 hours, only for them to cancel it at 12:30 AM. This was extremely frustrating and unprofessional. I wouldn’t recommend this place – zero stars from me! 1 food + salad 27 pounds !!!!

Amazing food, huge portions, authentic tastes and very reasonably priced. Please bring back free tea at the end.

Interior design is the best in London. We were greeted with respect and directed to our table. Staff and waiters are attentive and helpful. Their help and communication are very much appreciated. We will surely go back and enjoy our Baghali Polo Ba Mahiche.

I ordered Baghali Polo, but unfortunately, it wasn’t good at all. There was plenty of meat, but it wasn’t like a proper stew—it felt more like plain broth. It lacked flavor, and even the taste of the meat was ruined. This was my first experience, but I didn’t like it. Hope it get better next time

Our favourite local spot to eat at / get takeaway from. Delicious food and great service.

Food is consistently good and big portions

Amazing and delicious Persian food with great prices. You can never go wrong with this place. I’d definitely recommend trying the koobideh and their fresh bread

Traditional tasty food can’t go wrong

Went for a Birthday treat food was delicious & worth having every bite was tasty & mouthwatering loved the Persian rice & kebab with the tasty side options available price of range was also good & quantity/quality of food was great!

The best restaurant ever💖Strongly recommend it. The cold platter and lamb neck are exceptional!!

Been visiting the restaurant since 2007, and food is always great. However service levels have decline. What I don’t agree & feel restaurant management seems like a joke when they are putting 15% service charge yet quite obnoxiously expecting customers to tip on top.

Really nice food especially Kobideh kebab and lamb shank , only customers service bit need energetic might be due to busy time, otherwise excellent all around , thanks

Very tasty Persian food, will recommend it to everyone.

I came here a lot over the years and was happy with the food and service, but my last visit the service was terrible, there was a power cut and originally we were sat in a room with light but then the staff kicked us out, and made us sit in a dark room in the dark despite me trying to explain that I get a lot of strain in my eyes,

Food was nice but it's the service that let's the place down. The waiters make you feel like you're troubling them when you call them over and ask them for help.

I love it this restaurant, every food is fresh and delicious, 🤤😋

I came to Behesht restaurant about 6 months ago with my dad and one of his friends after the embassy and I liked the food here a lot. The decor of my restaurant was very beautiful. I will definitely come here whenever I come to London again

Bad customer service and the food was trash as well..

Food is amazing but service is horrible. I asked for tap water and the guy said “no just small water for £2.50”. What a scam. It’s disgusting. Would not visit again.

It was very loud, the food quality was poor, and the service was lacking. However, it was cheap compared to other places I dinned. If you prioritised quantity over quality, you would be a happy customer.

soup of the day more like soup of last month , main course low quality rather eat meal deal from tesco

We ordered kebab kobideh and momtaz today it was the worst kebab kobideh in my life the quality is very, very bad

Recently I joined with my family , I really enjoyed, foods and especially service was amazing thank you Nisar 🌹

Everything is very good, the price, the food, service, and atmosphere. Ensure to try this good resturant when visit London (if you need real food not luxury live 😁😝)

Its persian food. Very congested sitting. Food is very ordinary. There are better options for persian food in the neighbourhood. Wouldn't recommend it.

My second visit and found it better than last experience! Food and service was spot on.

Great service, well priced and delicious food. Easy to order for big groups as they have starter and main platters. Amazing Middle Eastern style interior been coming here for years and the quality has not dropped. Always happy to come back 🙏🏼

My partner went there on the 10th Dec, taking her colleagues for a Christmas dinner. Food was ok but the waiter refused to provide tap water for the table, which i believe is a legal requirement. When ordering the bill she was presented another tables bill, for £26 more. When we queried it, the waiter was dismissive, but when he went to check came back with a different bill. There was no apology. There are plenty of good restaurants in Harlesden, so I will never eat here again!!!!

Food was amazing. Prices are reasonable and the portions sizes are perfect. Had a great time here. We are already planning our next trip to this restaurant. Highly recommend

This restaurant is definitely recommended! You'll get more than what you pay. Large portion of food that is served for 1 can easily serve 2 Best restaurants services. Top quality food and dessert.

First time visiting . We saw it on Tiktok, so we had to give it a go. Nice family atmosphere, very traditional. Most people in there were ordering the £45.00 platter . We had this between 3 of us, and we were super stuffed . Nice place to check out .
