One of the nicest & polite staff I've ever seen. The food is fresh & well made next level 👌. I would recommend this place to everyone. Go out & get some now! The price is also reasonable. 👌
Absolutely loved this place! We were in town for 1 day & drove 30 min traffic because a friend recommended it & so glad we did. The food was absolutely delectable, service & atmosphere were amazing, & special thank you to Parsa for being so incredibly kind & wonderful. 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anyone!!

The food was fantastic. We used to regularly eat at Restaurent Tehran which closed down & we did nit have an equivalent substitute. We were recommended Behestht from a friend of my wife & we have become regulars now :). The food is incredible. I was too busy eating & forgot to take more photos. Will update next time.
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.
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.
A delightful experience. Service was fantastic, & the ambiance was excellent. We shared a Behesht plate which was excellent (except for a few things I didn't care for). Absolutely recommend. Would come back :)
Another fantastic celebration at Behest. This is the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal. We just came back from a birthday dinner for my husband. The atmosphere is inviting & the presentation is great (plates are gorgeous) but the best part is the food. The beautifully seasoned, slowly cooked lamb shank is my favourite but everything is delicious at this place. My daughter is vegetarian & she loves all the options here. All meals start with a soup or salad & end with a cup of tea. The service was excellent & they didn't charge us for the cake cutting or the tea to end our meal. I highly recommend this place!
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
Came here for iftaar with some friends & was a good experience. Food tasted great & presented well too. My friends & I got into a long conversation, but never felt rushed by the staff. The restaurant was really beautiful too. Highly recommend it.
