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.

The staff were incredibly polite & attentive, & our food arrived quickly.
Everything was great from start to finish. Highly recommend!

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.

1.0

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.

Just had a delivery today & I was not expecting to have rotten lettuce core taking almost 50% of my salad. Behesht has always been my favourite spot to taste kebab Torsh, but the quality is degrading recently given the price you pay.

1.0

We visited as a group of 4 & while the food quality was good & most staff were pleasant, our experience was significantly impacted by one staff member who was responsible for serving our area.
Throughout our visit, I had to get up THREE times & walk to the service area myself because we were being ignored. Each time, this staff member responded with visibly rude & dismissive reactions - which was both unprofessional & uncomfortable for our entire group.
It's a shame, because the kitchen did a great job & the other employees were friendly. However, one person's behavior can ruin an entire dining experience for a table of 4. I hope management addresses this, as it would make a real difference.

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!
