Behesht Restaurant draws praise for authentic Persian flavors, with koobideh, chenjeh, and barg kebabs, flavorful rice, and dishes like fesenjan and ash that many find consistently delicious. The atmosphere is warm and traditional, with elegant decor and attentive, friendly service that makes it feel welcoming for dates, family meals, or group dining. While the food quality and portions are often highlighted as excellent and good value, a few guests note occasional issues such as over-saltiness, undercooked items, or inconsistent preparation, and some experiences with wait times or crowded spaces. Takeout and catering experiences are mixed, with generous portions and timely delivery mentioned by some and complaints about preparation, packaging, or delays by others. Overall, Behesht is regarded as a standout Persian option in Montreal, known for flavor, ambiance, and hospitality, with some room for improvement in consistency and logistics.
I recommend this restaurant : 1) The service was good, fast, & appropriate 👌 2) The food quality was really good, I can say it was on top of what I expected. However, it would be excellent if the kebabs were more greasy 😉 3) The place is cozy with nice decorations 4) Most importantly, the prices are fair Overally you'll enjoy
Beef & Chicken Kabbab are good & a must try with herbal rice. 1st time we went there it was superb. Kishk beitenjan is quite tasty for an appetizer. 2nd time we were there 6 months later, however, the quality of food seems to have gone down significantly. The meat was not fresh, neither the chicken & tasted v ordinar. I will give it one more chance before I rule it out.
The food was really tasty & unique & the quality was pretty good! The combos don't seem like the best deals, our side ordered 5 plates & the other side ordered a 5 person plate. They paid quite a bit more than us but only had a bit more food. They also only had one extra meat compared to us. That said, the food was excellent & I'm looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. Also the lentil soup was spectacular!
I had heard a lot of praise about it, & finally, yesterday we went with friends. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. Both the food quality was low, & one of the staff's attitude wasn't good either. My friend & I had stomachache till today. We ate koobideh. Unfortunately, when businesses get busy, they often don't prioritize customer service & quality anymore.

The food quality is top-notch, with each dish bursting with flavor. The staff's warm welcoming made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Overall, a delightful dining experience!
That was a great experience with high-quality food. The service was excellent, & we didn't have to wait long for an empty table! & our server, Parsa, was very friendly!
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.
As an Iraninan (persian), I didn't like the restaurant. It's not a high-quality one, as I expected from reviews. The day after we had dinner in Behesht, all of us didn't feel very good. Maybe food was not fresh or something was wrong.

The food was amazing. I loved the barg kebab. After living few yrs in Canada & trying kebab in different provinces ,I can certainly Say that for the first time the food tasted like back home. I certainly suggest this place. Staff also very friendly. Loved this place. The quality of barg was even better than Toronto restaurants.
