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.

Kebab is perfect; joicy & delicious. However, the quality of rice (chelo) is not same as kebab. The portion is enough.
The staffs is very kind.
Compare to similar dishes, it is pricy.

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!

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.

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.

Surprisingly the restaurant makes their mixed platter more expensive, so avoid the'Shahani' platter & order dishes separately. The food, service & decoration were great.
