Behesht Restaurant is widely praised for authentic Persian flavors, with koobideh, joojeh, and Barg offerings, generous portions, and a warm traditional atmosphere. The service is friendly and attentive, and the decor and ambiance often feel welcoming and traditional. Overall quality is high and prices are reasonable for the portions, making it a top choice for Persian cuisine in Montreal. Some reviews note occasional dishes that are not served hot or minor inconsistencies between visits, and a few experiences mention long waits or rare issues with cleanliness or safety. Taken together, the restaurant is celebrated for flavorful, well prepared meals and strong hospitality, suitable for family meals, date nights, and gatherings.
I think it was our 3rd or 4th time here in Behesht. As always great & fresh food. Believe me or not, it tastes like the best restaurants in Iran. Also, nice atmosphere & kind behavior. Highly recommended for those interested in Persian or Mediterranean cuisine.
Honestly one of my favorite restaurants to go to. The food quality is 5 star, the service is amazing & the restaurant coziness is great. You can bring a date, you can bring your family or you can come alone to eat. It hits every mark. The food is by far the best Persian food in the city.
It is a lovely restaurant with good Persian food. Everything was amazing & our server (Parsa) was very entertaining & offered great customer service. I strongly recommend this place if you're looking for a nice little Persian restaurant.
It's definitely the best Persian restaurant in Montreal especially for Koobideh kebab. The staff are really nice too. April 2024 update: they have made the Koobideh kebab thinner & juicier which is even better now! see photo
We came to this restaurant as everytime we visit Montreal we like to have some Persian food. We saw this restaurant had 4.5 stars so we immediately decided to come to Behesht. The spot itself is very cozy, small but cozy. The inside is designed very nicely giving you a taste of what Iranian restaurants are like. My dish (bakhtiari $50) Others ($20-30) The kabob was pretty tasty however there were a few critiques. The rice had a bit of a smell to it, I'm not sure why.. if it's cheap rice or maybe the way they made it? One of the beef kabobs were completely burnt on the back as well. The chicken was juicy & tender but lacked salt as I had to put salt on my whole dish. The salad & most-mousier (yogurt) was delicious. The service was also OK. Tea was complimentary but they brought the tea with our food dishes still on the table so we tried to stack our plates & make room for the tea. They also forgot to bring our drinks & we had to remind them. One more thing: the bathrooms are very dirty! If the owner or staff sees this I hope it gives them a sign to clean their bathroom.... For these reasons I can only give this place a 3/5
I called today to place an order for pick up ( baby in the car) & asked for 2 koobideh plates ( pretty straightforward) the gentlemen that answered asked me to give him the name of the dish as stated on their menu. I was driving & couldn't open the menu to look for the names that they gave topical Persian dishes for something as simple as "koobideh" I drove from Laval in traffic ( 50 min ) to there & due to the lack of help & service over the phone decided to go to an other restaurant & pick up instead. He basically told me to go there to order & to wait for my food. Over all I will never be stepping foot there, there are over 10 places in the same area that offer great food & that aren't rude to people on the phone. He wasn't nice at all, not helpful at all & cut me off while I was trying to be friendly. I won't put 0 stars because it's irrelevant to the food but I am so disappointed. Never again.

Tasty Persian cuisine with variety of Kebabs 😋 We tried family dish for four (Behesht) which had different kebabs, including Joojeh, Koobideh, Kebab Torsh, Kebab Chenjeh, & Chiken Koobideh. The food served with soup or salad, which I think soup is far better than the salad. For appetizer, we ordered Mast Khiar (basically yogurt with chopped cucumbers & garlic) & Kale kebab (smoked eggplant with walnuts & pomegranate sauce) which is a dish from North of Iran, it was a bit different but tasty. Upon arrival they asked your number to text you when they have your seats ready which was a bit awkward & discomforting sharing my number. Also they don't make reservations unless you're more than 10 people. Overall it was a great experience for us.
Best persian restaurant ever. Recommend strongly! Amazing food very good service professionnal & polite, very good atmosphere, very tasty & fresh made food! Didnt wait long food came & amazing taste best persian food ever since im here in canada 45 years never seen like this. Parking available very easy & very clean & nice decor.
A very good surprise. Living in the area, didn't know we had that restaurant close by. The persian atmosphere is peaceful inside, the food is really good, the service is fast & the waiter is nice & discreet. Not a fancy restaurant with a fancy food which is PERFECT if you want to try something new & authentic. Definitely on my TOP 5 of my fav'.
Very good quality & friendly stuff. Definitely, I will recommend this restaurant to my friend & others who ask me where the best Persian restaurant in Montreal is.
