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.
Behesht Restaurant is widely regarded as a top destination for authentic Persian cuisine in Montreal, frequently praised for its flavorful, high-quality grilled meats, fragrant rice, and generous portions. Many patrons appreciate the restaurant's warm, traditional decor and welcoming atmosphere, which often provides a cozy, home-like experience. While the service is frequently described as friendly, professional, and efficient, some visitors have encountered inconsistencies regarding long wait times, occasional ventilation issues, and varying quality in certain dishes. Despite these mixed experiences, the majority of guests highlight the restaurant as a standout spot for celebrating special occasions, enjoying fresh ingredients, and receiving attentive hospitality.
The food at the restaurant was excellent. We ordered the mixed platter for four people, & every single item was delicious. The koobideh kebab & the torsh kebab were especially outstanding. The service was exceptional, & the staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming.
Awful experience! We ordered both stew & kebab koobideh, & both were terrible. The quality of the meat & rice was truly below standard. I only ate two spoonfuls of my stew (ghormeh sabzi), & my guests ate just a couple of bites of their kebab out of politeness. I couldn't be more dissatisfied.

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 lowest quality of Iranian cuisine in Montreal.
Negative points: It was not busy but still Cold food, disappting service (they forgot my drink), low quality food including bad ground beef kebab (kebab koubideh), medium-to-low quality lamb shank (mahicheh ba baghali-polo). Comparing to oder restaurants in Montreal, it was a disappointment & waste of time/money.
Horrible experience!!! a METAL STAPLE was inside the kebab. It went under my tooth & broke it. I contacted the manager, & they didn't even refund my money. I will be filing a complaint with the city's health authorities very soon!
C'était une expérience traumatisante. il y avait une AGRAFFE MÉTALLIQUE à l'intérieur du kebab. Elle s'est logée sous ma dent & l'a cassée. J'ai contacté la direction & ils n'ont même pas remboursé mon paiement. Je déposerai très prochainement une plainte auprès des autorités sanitaires de la ville.
The food quality was excellent - authentic Iranian flavors, with delicious rice, saffron, & kebabs. The atmosphere was pleasant with soft, enjoyable music, & the staff were friendly, smiling, & very efficient.
I highly recommend this Persian restaurant. The food is delicious, fresh, clean, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is beautiful, well-organized, & very pleasant, & the staff are polite & respectful.
The Koobideh kebab & Chenjekebab (grilled lamb chunks) are always our go-to choices-they're incredibly tasty, juicy, & made with great-quality meat. This place is a perfect option for a date night or for dining with friends & family.
Wishing you continued success.
Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant. On y mange très bien : les plats sont savoureux, frais & bien préparés, & on sent que la qualité est au rendez-vous. Le cadre est agréable, propre & bien organisé, & l'équipe est toujours souriante & respectueuse.
À chaque fois, on prend le kebab koobideh & le kebab chenjeh (morceaux d'agneau grillés) : c'est super bon, bien juteux, & la viande est de très bonne qualité. C'est une adresse parfaite pour un dîner à deux, mais aussi pour partager un bon repas avec des amis ou en famille.
On reviendra avec plaisir. Merci & bonne continuation !
J'avais déjà réservé une table pour sept personnes. Tout était en ordre au moment de l'arrivée.
Notre serveur s'appelait Parsa, il était très poli & compétent.
J'ai eu diverses commandes. Mais à mon avis, Kal Kebab, le Barg & le Kase Kebab étaient les meilleurs de tous.
Après longtemps, un restaurant iranien de qualité a été trouvé au Québec.
Merci à vous
