Guests encounter a menu defined by succulent skewers of marinated lamb, chicken, and beef, each served alongside aromatic basmati saffron rice.

What impressed me the most about the restaurant was its beautiful ambiance - from the lovely paintings on the walls to the elegant decorations & the soft traditional Iranian music playing in the background.

As for the food, I really enjoyed it. It was tasty, the portion sizes were just right, & overall, I'd give it a solid 4 out of 5. We ordered kebab Torsh & Koobideh, both of which were well-prepared. The meal came with a choice of salad or soup, & it ended nicely with a cup of tea.

Also, the lady who served our food was very kind & friendly, which made the experience more pleasant.

My recent dining experience at Behesht restaurant in Montreal was quite enjoyable. The selection of Persian dishes I sampled, including the Barg, Soltani kebab, & Chengeh, were all prepared to a high standard, showcasing delicious flavors & tender textures. The restaurant also offered a pleasant atmosphere & the service provided was attentive & courteous. Considering the quality of the food & the overall experience, the prices appeared reasonable. I would recommend it to others seeking a satisfying Persian meal in Montreal.

Maybe, if there was beautiful, wordless music playing in the air, it would have been better. Also, the attitude of the lady who brought the card reader was not very interesting. She quickly took the card reader without thanking me & took it away & did not say a word to say goodbye or welcome or that we are waiting for you again. This behavior was not worthy of the environment there. ((Maybe if I had left a $50 tip on the table, I would have seen this behavior)) But overall, the food & its quality were unparalleled. Thank you.

I found the food to be very salty & just so so. May be the nice decor in the restaurant gets your expectations high.
Don't even bother with lamb shank no matter how much good they tell you it is.

Lentil soup is good

The best kebab barg I've had in Montreal so far. Rice wasn't to my standard, 1 person to serve the whole floor is not a good idea. Although she really worked hard & I admire her dedication.

Place is a little small for bigger groups, mostly a take out place. Great food, fair prices.

Eat in is delicious at the new location. DO NOT DO PICK UP, they send you to pick up at their old location where the quality is a definite downgrade. Eat in or go somewhere else.
