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.

We had a wonderful experience at Behesht Restaurant. The food was excellent & full of authentic Persian flavours. We tried the Koobideh, Barg, & Joojeh kebabs, & all of them were delicious, tender, & very well prepared.
The appetizers were also fantastic. We especially loved the marinated olives (Zeytoon Parvardeh) & the garlic torshi (Sir Torshi) - both were absolutely delicious.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, & professional, & the service throughout our meal was excellent.
Great Persian food, great service, & a very enjoyable experience. **Definitely a place we would visit again when we are in Montreal. Highly recommended!

Behesht food is generally good but if you have craving for a decent Baghali polo ba mahiche, I recommend you don't even consider that here, specially if you have foreign guests. It was the worst Baghali polo I have ever had in my life. So disappointing 😞

We came here for lunch to celebrate our friend's wedding, & we had a wonderful experience! The management & staff were incredibly kind & helpful. They even surprised us with a complimentary tray of appetizers & played music for us. They truly made our day extra special. Highly recommended! ❤?

We visited Montreal for three days, & this exceptional Iranian restaurant was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The koobideh was the best we had during our visit-absolutely delicious! The traditional Persian decor was beautiful, & we especially appreciated the lovely prayer room.

Wonderful food, welcoming atmosphere, & a great experience overall. Highly recommended!

Ils ont un menu spécial pour le diner pendant la semaine (de midi à 15h) qui offre des plats comme Koubideh à 14.99$.
Je l'ai choisi, mais quand la serveuse m'a apporté l'addition, j'ai remarqué que ce n'est pas le même prix affiché dans le menu & c'est beaucoup plus cher. Quand j'ai demandé la raison, la serveuse m'a dit que c'est uniquement quand vous payez comptant (histoire de ne pas payer la taxe par la commerce) alors que ce n'était pas du tout indiqué sur le menu.
Le Koobideh aussi était très salé.
De plus, j'ai constaté que la serveuse avait un comportement très différent entre les clients iraniens & non-iraniens. Elle est venue demandé à plusieurs reprises aux clients non-iraniens s'ils avaient besoin de quelque chose alors qu'elle n'est jamais venue me poser la question.
Je vous recommande pas d'y aller.

Great Persian food in Toronto. The staff were incredibly friendly & the food was also great. I would not recommend the barg kebab though but the koobideh & kebab torsh was amazing. Will definitely return
