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.

Review Summary

Behesht Restaurant is widely regarded as a standout destination for authentic Persian cuisine in Montreal, frequently praised for its flavorful, high-quality grilled meats, fragrant rice, and generous portion sizes. Many guests are impressed by the restaurant's beautiful, traditional decor and welcoming atmosphere, noting that the staff is often kind, efficient, and professional. While the majority of visitors have an excellent experience, some reviews mention inconsistencies regarding food temperatures, occasional delays during busy periods, and mixed feelings about the value or freshness of specific dishes.

I highly recommend this restaurant for its friendly atmosphere & high-quality kebabs.

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.

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!

Unfortunately, they provide very poor quality food & the cook is rude, & most interestingly, the waiter determines the amount of their tip before serving you the food.

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.

Really disappointed with my experience here. The chicken for the zereshk polo was actually good, but the rice was some of the worst I've had - it smelled off & wasn't fluffy at all, making it hard to eat. The koobideh was also disappointing; it wasn't juicy & tasted more like a burger patty than traditional koobideh. The one bright spot was the gentleman serving us, who was very nice & welcoming throughout the visit. Unfortunately, the food quality just didn't meet expectations.

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.
