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 didn't have a good experience, even though there were 4 empty tables, the gentleman who was there was telling everyone that you have to wait for 40 minutes because there are other people on the waiting list, but no one was there to wait.

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. 👌
OMG!! This restaurant brought me back to Iran!!! I loved the food, the ambiance, the hospitality, the EVERYTHING. You should definitely give it a try. The Ghorme Sabzi, Shahani plate, & the soft ice cream deserve more than only five stars!! Thank you for the perfect representation of Persian food!!!!
I recently dined at Behesht restaurant & had a mixed experience. The restaurant offers a variety of Iranian-style main courses, which were impressive. The menu has several delicious side options, adding to the overall appeal. I tried their kebabs (a combination of different types) which ranged from good to average in taste. The salad was fresh & good, but the rice was a bit disappointing as it wasn't prepared very well. The bread, unfortunately, was not fresh & had a sweet taste that I did not enjoy. (Their olive side dish was my favorite part, well balanced & tasted kind of smooth). I didn't notice ( & didn't ask) any alcoholic beverages, but I saw some people smoking hookah ( outdoor sitting area) The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant with nice decorations, & it was clean. Free parking spaces were available, which was convenient. The servers were polite & nice, but the overall service was slow. Their prices were fine, not expensive, nor cheap. Despite some shortcomings, the overall quality of the food & dining experience was good.
This is a nice space & restaurant in Montreal that you can find your delicious food. I am so fan of Kebab & suggest you to try it just one time. Service is so perfect because they are friendly.
Fantastic kabob. Great appetizers & great service from Parsa. I'm from the states & this is by far the most delicious Persian food I've had. Highlights the Barg kabob & zeytoon parvardeh (olive appetizer)

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!!
I used to come alot to this place with my husband who is persian. Their food was good before but now its not the same anymore. I enjoy Barg but the meat is very chewy & doesnt taste the same anymore.
I dined in for lunch with a friend. They have great portion (we shared a combo, which was a lot for 2 people). They also have nice & fresh non-alcoholic beers. The server was welcoming & made insightful suggestions. The ambience was ok at lunch but I think it would be better at night with the lightning & decorations.
