Nous avons vraiment adoré notre expérience. Le stationnement gratuit & facilement accessible est un excellent avantage. À l'intérieur, l'espace est chaleureux & la décoration très soignée crée une ambiance accueillante. Les plats sont délicieux : l'assaisonnement est juste, la cuisson parfaitement maîtrisée & la viande tendre & de très bonne qualité. Le tout offre un rapport qualité?prix remarquable. J'aurais simplement apprécié une musique d'ambiance plus traditionnelle pour compléter cette belle expérience
Food was mediocre, although being from Vancouver, I know my expectations are high for Persian food. Atmosphere was ok, I think we were there at their quieter time so it was pleasant. The staff member was very friendly & helpful.
I was quite surprised by their price range as it was on the higher end despite the medium quality.

First time trying Persian cuisine. We went on a weekday, so the restaurant was calm with no big crowds.
Atmosphere & decor: 10/10
Service: 10/10
Tea: 10/10
Food: 6.5/10. The lamb shank had too much tomato sauce & wasn't very enjoyable. The kobebiahs were delicious they were juicy & tender. However both dishes were unfortunately not served hot. The soup was tasty & warm. The salad was also good.
The food here is incredible & the restaurant looks amazing, but I had a bit of a'yikes' moment. I ran into one of the cooks in the bathroom & they were wearing their culinary black uniform & apron inside the stall. It's such a shame because everything else was perfect, but that's a pretty big food safety no-no. Just wanted to flag it because the flavors & the vibe are otherwise top-notch! ⭐?⭐?⭐?

The dishes are absolutely delicious & full of flavor, with very reasonable prices. The traditional setting & Iranian architecture truly reflect the rich culture. The staff are exceptionally kind & welcoming, making you feel like a valued guest. Definitely an experience everyone should try!
Thank you so much!
?I am beyond disappointed with my experience here. While the food is one thing, the management's conduct regarding the bill was completely unacceptable.
?Despite receiving no actual service throughout our meal, the manager stepped in & forced a 20% tip onto my bill. A tip is supposed to be a reflection of the quality of service provided &, above all, a choice made by the customer. Being coerced into paying a high gratuity when the staff was non-existent is unprofessional & feels like a shake-down.
?It is incredibly frustrating to be treated this way as a patron. I won't be returning to a place that disregards customer choice & tries to mandate'appreciation' for poor service.
?Pros: None (overshadowed by the experience)
Cons: Forced gratuity, lack of service, unprofessional management
The food was delivered with a three-hour delay. When I first followed up, they said the driver had mistakenly marked it as picked up-but even after that, they still didn't send it. There's absolutely no sense of responsibility or follow-up. We ordered lunch, & it's apparently arriving as a late afternoon snack-if it arrives at all, because it still hasn't. Honestly, if it were possible, I wouldn't even give this one star. Not to mention that sometimes they just leave the order at the door, & when we order hot food, it arrives cold
I came here with my friends for my birthday. The quality of the food & the atmosphere were very good. I would like to thank Ms. Sara, who was very polite & the management was excellent.
La nourriture est simplement incroyable. Service en table très rapide. L'ambiance est vraiment super & accueillante. Je recommande à venir manger en restaurant!
I don't know what happened to this restaurant but in last 5 month , despite the high price, the quality went down a lot. Last time I ordered more than 200$ to take out , whole BBQs was not cooked well & my kid got sick. After couple of month we've decided to give it another try & orders by phone & asked to have our food cooked well, what we got was burnt food. I don't recommend this place anymore waste of time & money!
Behesht is a respectable restaurant offering high quality food without the gastronomic'pretense culture'. The decor is modest, warm & original. If you need sunlight, you will have plenty. I invited some friends there & we all appreciated the fesendjan, it was our first 😊. It's definitely a win. Thank you to the employees who contribute to the near elysian experience. Behesht, you won your spot in my Montreal restaurant Trinity 🥳
