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.
Came here for iftaar with some friends & was a good experience. Food tasted great & presented well too. My friends & I got into a long conversation, but never felt rushed by the staff. The restaurant was really beautiful too. Highly recommend it.

I called today to place an order for pick up ( baby in the car) & asked for 2 koobideh plates ( pretty straightforward) the gentlemen that answered asked me to give him the name of the dish as stated on their menu. I was driving & couldn't open the menu to look for the names that they gave topical Persian dishes for something as simple as "koobideh" I drove from Laval in traffic ( 50 min ) to there & due to the lack of help & service over the phone decided to go to an other restaurant & pick up instead. He basically told me to go there to order & to wait for my food. Over all I will never be stepping foot there, there are over 10 places in the same area that offer great food & that aren't rude to people on the phone. He wasn't nice at all, not helpful at all & cut me off while I was trying to be friendly. I won't put 0 stars because it's irrelevant to the food but I am so disappointed. Never again.
I have visited this restaurant couple of times since opening. I always have treated well. Yes might be very busy some days & we should wait until seated, however we never waited too long for the order. The food is good & tasty. Highly recommend it.
Original review from December 2023: Really great service. It was efficient yet friendly, fast yet relaxed. & really enjoyed the food. Beautiful presentation & very tasty. Had a really all around enjoyable experience. -------------------- Update March 24, 2024 Stil the same great service & tasty food
I had an amazing kebab torsh here. I absolutely recommend this place. The decor is so pretty & the ambiance is cozy & lovely. I recommend mirza ghasemi, zeytoon parvardeh, mast o khiar, & kebab torsh which is top-notch 👌

Beef & Chicken Kabbab are good & a must try with herbal rice. 1st time we went there it was superb. Kishk beitenjan is quite tasty for an appetizer. 2nd time we were there 6 months later, however, the quality of food seems to have gone down significantly. The meat was not fresh, neither the chicken & tasted v ordinar. I will give it one more chance before I rule it out.
Tasty Persian cuisine with variety of Kebabs 😋 We tried family dish for four (Behesht) which had different kebabs, including Joojeh, Koobideh, Kebab Torsh, Kebab Chenjeh, & Chiken Koobideh. The food served with soup or salad, which I think soup is far better than the salad. For appetizer, we ordered Mast Khiar (basically yogurt with chopped cucumbers & garlic) & Kale kebab (smoked eggplant with walnuts & pomegranate sauce) which is a dish from North of Iran, it was a bit different but tasty. Upon arrival they asked your number to text you when they have your seats ready which was a bit awkward & discomforting sharing my number. Also they don't make reservations unless you're more than 10 people. Overall it was a great experience for us.
An amazing restaurant serving authentic food that tastes very good & has good prices. The service is also outstanding, Parsa is a really good server & is amazing at his job.
The food was really tasty & unique & the quality was pretty good! The combos don't seem like the best deals, our side ordered 5 plates & the other side ordered a 5 person plate. They paid quite a bit more than us but only had a bit more food. They also only had one extra meat compared to us. That said, the food was excellent & I'm looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. Also the lentil soup was spectacular!
