About

Behesht Restaurant specializes in the preparation of authentic Persian cuisine centered on the art of the traditional charcoal grill. Guests encounter a menu defined by succulent skewers of marinated lamb, chicken, and beef, each served alongside aromatic basmati saffron rice. The culinary selection emphasizes the use of fresh herbs and bold spices consistent with regional culinary traditions. Beyond the grilled meats, the kitchen prepares a variety of cold and warm salads, featuring ingredients such as cucumbers, tomatoes, fresh mint, and yogurt with shallots. These vibrant vegetable components provide a crisp balance to the savory, flame-seared proteins presented at every table. The preparation techniques remain focused on highlighting the quality of raw ingredients through expert heat management. The dining environment maintains a consistent focus on the delivery of these staple Persian dishes for all patrons.

We took lamb shank & the taste was not great. It was ok. Also felt that it was not freshly cooked. Salad was very simple. The environment was very dark. On our second visit, they didn't bread & butter which was served to all tables. Also one of the server was not friendly, she was looking very exhausted. But the mixed kebab was good.

As an Iraninan (persian), I didn't like the restaurant. It's not a high-quality one, as I expected from reviews. The day after we had dinner in Behesht, all of us didn't feel very good. Maybe food was not fresh or something was wrong.

5.0

This Persian restaurant is a flavor-packed haven. The kebabs are grilled perfection, offering a symphony of spices. Stews steal the show with rich authenticity; Ghormeh Sabzi & Gheymeh are must-tries. Impeccable service & warm ambiance complete a delightful culinary journey. A top pick for Persian cuisine enthusiasts.
