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.

Visiting Montreal, we decided to try the Persian food at the Behesht restaurant on May 30, 2025. The atmosphere & decoration were nice. However, that's the only positive aspect of the restaurant. We ordered the most expensive individual dish on the menu, a combination of Koobedeh & Changeh kebab. We were served reheated Koobedh & Changeh kebab either that morning or yesterday. The meat was dry, & the greasy smell of the whole dish was not pleasant at all. When I complained they offered free food to take home which I refused. Do not be deceive with online ratings of the restaurant.

Food was above average mot excellent. But I was in rush heading out of Montreal. I called 20 in advance to order not to wait in the restaurant for preparation. They said we will prepapre it once you arrive, it will take 5 min!! I said no it will take 15 min at least to prepare 4 skews! How come!

Anyway, they took the order & my feeling was they won't make it until I arrive. & finally we waited around 15 min to get it done after arrival. Then not a single person approached us if we needed anything. I had to wait a lot to find someone to bring a drink. Waiting for the bill to arrive? No one there. Again runnign after them. Service is definitely 1 star. Food was 3. So I left 2 star otherwise it is 1.

Behesht is our new go to Persian restaurant. The staff is so kind & polite & the food is delicious.
I feel like I'm dining at a great restaurant when I go there & wish they would remove some of the cheap decorations. The'ouvert' sign or the plastic plants in the foyer. It doesn't match the sophisticated & exquisite Persian dishes they serve.

Hospitality That Feels Like Home 😊

I truly believe that when someone visits your home, the most important thing is to welcome them with a warm face - because they haven't come just to see your house, but to make you happy. As a host, I should reflect that happiness with a big smile & kind eyes.

In a restaurant, the same principle applies. The staff should show their joy through their behavior & their smiles - & at Behesht Restaurant, I genuinely saw that in Saina & Mehdi. Their kindness & sincere hospitality made us feel so welcome. They went above & beyond to make sure we enjoyed both the food & the cozy atmosphere. Thank you for making our experience so memorable!

I ordered a koobide & a joojeh but koobide was smelly & not good at all. Anyways they accepted & I didn't pay for it. Joojeh was good.
