Fantastic food!! We make sure to visit this restaurant every time we visit from Toronto. They have a wide range of options in their menu & the food is truly tasty! The restaurant itself is very cute & cozy. The staff are very friendly & attentive & make it an enjoyable experience. Looking forward to future visits! The lentil soup that's served with every dish is a must try!!
The food was great especially the lamp shank & the appetizer Mirza Ghasemi. Portions are great & most don't finish their meal so you will have leftovers for lunch. Service was great as they explained & recommended some dishes. Also verified if everything was good a couple of times which is a plus. We went on a Sunday night & it was still busy so recommended to call & reserve. Will definitely come back again!
Food & service was excellent. Portions were more than generous, although I'm not Iranian & my perception on authentic Persian cuisine might be different from others. I can safely say that the quality of the dishes was excellent & I will gladly return.

Behesht Restaurant in Montreal is a great spot for authentic Iranian cuisine. The food, service, & prices are all excellent, making it a perfect choice for anyone craving Persian flavors. We ordered the Toranj platter for two, which was beautifully presented & came with a generous variety of four kebabs: koobideh (ground beef), chicken koobideh, chicken kebab, & barg kebab. It also included two plates of fragrant saffron rice & a choice of salad or soup, making it a hearty & satisfying meal. To complement our meal, we tried their yogurt with moosir (Persian shallots) & marinated olives, which were absolutely delicious & added a lovely touch of traditional flavors to the experience. The portions were generous, the kebabs were perfectly grilled, & everything was seasoned to perfection. The restaurant has a cozy & welcoming atmosphere, & the service was attentive & friendly throughout. For the quality of the food & the portion sizes, the prices were very reasonable. Behesht is definitely a must-visit for fans of Iranian cuisine or anyone looking to try something new.
Nous avons pris un mixte kebab, un riz à l'agneau, une salade d'aubergines & soupe aux lentilles. Tout était délicieux & le service était parfait. Nous allons sûrement y revenir.
Zereshk polo is one of the most popular Persian foods & you can find one of the most delicious ones here! Their masto moosir is wonderful which is a Persian dip with yogurt & shallot. They serve their dishes with Tahdig which is my favorite. Their koobideh needs to be more juicy & greasy to become the original.
I came because of the good comments. I ordered koobide kebab. Unfortunately, it smelled very strongly of onions. The amount of rice was very small & the food smelled of metal because it was served in a metal dish. The salad was dry & not fresh. The waiter was an inexperienced teenage boy, & the chair Very much compared to the size of the restaurant.
J'ai passé un excellent moment dans ce restaurant ! Le service était impeccable, avec une équipe attentionnée & aux petits soins. La nourriture était délicieuse, chaque plat bien préparé & savoureux. Un merci particulier à Reda qui a rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable par son professionnalisme & sa gentillesse. Je recommande vivement !
