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.

I mean it is Persian. But that doesn't mean everyone has to like it.

Arabic-Gulf restaurants do it better.

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.

In my opinion, this is the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal right now. I tried the Toranj Platter, which was delicious, followed by their Napoleon pastry & tea-it was the perfect combination. The food quality is consistent, & the staff are incredibly friendly & welcoming. If you're looking for authentic Persian flavors & a warm atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go.

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.
