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 did not like the taste of the rice.they use very low quality rice which ruins the taste of whole dish. The kobideh kebab wasn't taste good too. & despite many available seats we were asked to sit close to washroom which wasn't nice too.

Surprisingly the restaurant makes their mixed platter more expensive, so avoid the'Shahani' platter & order dishes separately. The food, service & decoration were great.

From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, & very welcoming. The food is outstanding. Every dish was full of rich, authentic Iranian flavors & cooked to perfection. The kebabs were juicy & tender, the rice was fragrant, & the portions were very generous.
If you are looking for authentic Iranian cuisine in Montreal, Behesht is a must-visit. High-quality food, excellent service, & a lovely ambiance. We will definitely be coming back again & again!
Highly recommended 🌿🍽?💚

This was a first catering order for us & we do not recommend this restaurant due to *lateness*, *incomplete preparation*, *inappropriate presentation* & poor quality of food. It didn't seem like they understood what it means to cater ready food nor that they appreciated our business.

We ordered food for multiple people for our Christmas party & asked that the rice & meat be kept in separate containers for an agreed upon time. Results:
- We drove an hour to get to the restaurant & arrived a few minutes before the pickup time, we were told we're'early' & had to wait another 45 minutes, which derailed our party dinner plans.
- The food was packed in individual portions instead of all meat together & rice together, which meant we had to separate the meat & rice & rearrange everything before serving.
- The kebab skewers were broken & not grilled enough, no saffron, which is terrible koobideh by any standards.
- The lettuce & cucumber & tomatoes were not even chopped so we had to make the salad ourselves!
- The'yellow' color on the rice looked like food colouring instead of saffron so we had to improvise ourselves.

In the end, we had to re-grill the kababs ourselves & add saffron to make it presentable & we had to make the salads ourselves from the ingredients. As a result of the restaurant's sloppy service our dinner plans were delayed by 2 hours, which is why we will not order from this restaurant again.
