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.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

I've been visiting Behesht monthly since its opening. While it started strong, the food quality has noticeably declined. During my last visit, the rice was poorly cooked, & the Barg kebab lacked authentic flavor. Only one non-Persian-speaking server was available, leading to long waits. Restroom facilities were also lacking basic hygiene supplies. Still, great parking, nostalgic decor, & polite staff deserve mention.

Great food - high quality meat & ingredients. I'd skip the spiced koobideh, as it tasted like added hot sauce instead of chillies.

Compared to Toronto, this is quite pricey for the same portions.

We had friendly staff, there wasn't much of a wait, & plenty of parking at the location.

Beautiful restaurant. Clean. Tables are well spaced. Great service. Thank you Anita (our server). We enjoyed the food immensely. Koubideh was delicious & not overdone.

One of the best Iranian restaurant experiences I've ever had!
The place was spotlessly clean, the food was delicious & served in generous portions.
The staff were incredibly friendly, polite, & welcoming.
Prices were very reasonable for the quality & quantity of the food.
There was also easy parking nearby.
If you're looking for authentic Persian food with a warm & inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend this place!

I wish I could give a better review as I liked the food (though the koobideh was a bit undercooked).
However, I cannot in all fairness say that this restaurant is clean enough for a returning customer. There were so many flies hovering above the table that eating turned into a hassle. I had to constantly wave my hand to prevent flies from sitting on my food. On top of that, when they brought bread & butter to our table, the first package of butter I picked was open & used. It was clear that it was pick up from another table once the customers had finished their food (see the picture), not to mention that the butter was not even real butter; it was margarine (so cheap).

All in all, with so many choices in Montreal, this customer is not coming back.

Post note:
At the end of our dinner, my son of 11 ordered the Baqlava on the menu. He got a plate with one piece of Baqlava. The item on the menu was a two-piece dessert. They just felt comfortable bringing one piece for my son since he was a kid. As it turned out, they did not feel shy charging the full-price though.
