The best Persian restaurant in Canada! Literally the most beautiful interior design you could imagine! I got tears in my eyes when tried their dishes for the first time! Tasted like home!!!!
You could tell that they use high quality ingredients & the fact that they're always packed makes everything they serve always fresh.
Good job Behesht!
We visited as a group of 4 & while the food quality was good & most staff were pleasant, our experience was significantly impacted by one staff member who was responsible for serving our area.
Throughout our visit, I had to get up THREE times & walk to the service area myself because we were being ignored. Each time, this staff member responded with visibly rude & dismissive reactions - which was both unprofessional & uncomfortable for our entire group.
It's a shame, because the kitchen did a great job & the other employees were friendly. However, one person's behavior can ruin an entire dining experience for a table of 4. I hope management addresses this, as it would make a real difference.

They charged me 32$ for one takeout chicken sandwich. I asked why, they said the chicken skewer costs 22$ each + the salad the put in the sandwich. Insane
We had a great time at this beautiful Persian restaurant, with magnificent service, a welcoming atmosphere, & friendly, polite staff. Highly recommend.
I found this restaurant through Instagram, & I'm so glad I did.
The food quality was excellent, the atmosphere was beautiful & peaceful, & the staff were incredibly kind & welcoming. Honestly, I highly recommend this place.
If you want perfectly grilled meats - this is it! It feel like you are welcomed into a Persian family's home - if that family happened to make unreal grilled meats & perfect rice every single time. The food is comforting, generous, & packed with flavour, & the atmosphere makes you want to slow down & truly enjoy your meal.
You can tell this place was built with heart. The decor is beautiful, everything is spotless, & the staff are incredibly warm & welcoming. The paintings & mosaics throughout the restaurant create such a unique ambiance - you can really see the time, care, & effort that went into making the space feel special.
Some of the best food I've had in MTL. The staff was so kind & pleasant, the food was off the charts delicious. Anita was our waitress & she was fantastic with her recommendations of food to choose, for sure deserves a big pay raise for how great she is at her job. I think we waited less than 15 mins for our entire meal! I can't wait to come back & show my friends how nice this place is.
Very clean, & professionally run restaurant. Great taste in decorations too.
The food was very nice. However, I had to wait for it a very long time, while the friends I was with all got their food already. They waited for me to get my food, but by the time I got my dish (after repeatedly asking the staff, who weren't very responsive or taking immediate action, in stead I needed to confirm my order twice), all their dishes had basically gone cold. No apologies, nothing even mentioned.
We were with six & got a table cornered against a pillar, so that I couldn't see the person on the other side of that pillar. Very strange configuration for a restaurant. Next time I would order the food to be delivered.
Unfortunately, they provide very poor quality food & the cook is rude, & most interestingly, the waiter determines the amount of their tip before serving you the food.
