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.
Average food in not a great neighborhood. The area & parking lot was very dirty. Inside decorations were very nice. Service was good. Appetizer (lash bademjan) was good but the main dishes (combination of kabas) were very disappointing making us to regret driving all the way here.
Came from NYC & so pleased to have found the most authentic Persian food this side of the world. Amazing! Cozy environment & warm staff. You may pass by this place or overlook it because it's tucked away but finding it will be like uncovering a treasure.

Beautiful place delicious food ... amazing working.... the ownwer is such a beautiful heart .. all the best coming ... one of my favorite restaurent ... love it
We ordered Kale Kebab, soup & Salad, ans Marinated Olives for starter. Kale kebab was absolutely tasty as it was marinated with pomegranate sauce. For the main course, we ordered Kebab koobideh which was very juicy & delicious. Overall food quality was high & the restaurant ambiance was nice. The service could have been better as there were only two personals with a lot of customers.
Amazing melt in mouth kebabs & super flavourful rice! We ordered a platter for 2 which had 4 different kebabs, 2 plates of rice, humus & pita & 2 soups. The lentil soup had great balance of ginger & freshness of cilantro! The kebabs were moist & fresh with very prompt service. The meal also came with free Persian tea. The only critique is of the female/ladies washroom which was in a horrible condition & the server asked me to use the men's washroom which was occupied & led to an awkward encounter.
Ammmmmazzing food! Friendly staff. Two problems: understaffed so the service is slow. Small place & mosquito flies flying over us & the food! But overall amazing
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.
We visited Montreal front Edmonton AB. Behesht restaurant was the best Persian restaurant we visited during our stay in Montreal. Thank you for your great food & service.

I would even give 10 stars if it were available. Besides the great atmosphere & reasonable pricing, the food was absolutely delicious. The smiling service from Sayna & Reza won my heart. Now, I'm hooked on this restaurant!
