Behesht Restaurant is widely praised for authentic Persian flavors, with koobideh, joojeh, and Barg offerings, generous portions, and a warm traditional atmosphere. The service is friendly and attentive, and the decor and ambiance often feel welcoming and traditional. Overall quality is high and prices are reasonable for the portions, making it a top choice for Persian cuisine in Montreal. Some reviews note occasional dishes that are not served hot or minor inconsistencies between visits, and a few experiences mention long waits or rare issues with cleanliness or safety. Taken together, the restaurant is celebrated for flavorful, well prepared meals and strong hospitality, suitable for family meals, date nights, and gatherings.
Food is so bad. Looks like they add liquid smoke to their sour chicken for it to look like it was grilled in charcoal. Chicken was half cooked. Rice was so bad. Washroom is also so dirty . I don't recommend at all.

We visited as a group of 4 & while the food quality was good & most staff were pleasant, our experience was significantly impacted by one staff member who was responsible for serving our area.
Throughout our visit, I had to get up THREE times & walk to the service area myself because we were being ignored. Each time, this staff member responded with visibly rude & dismissive reactions - which was both unprofessional & uncomfortable for our entire group.
It's a shame, because the kitchen did a great job & the other employees were friendly. However, one person's behavior can ruin an entire dining experience for a table of 4. I hope management addresses this, as it would make a real difference.
I highly recommend this Persian restaurant. The food is delicious, fresh, clean, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is beautiful, well-organized, & very pleasant, & the staff are polite & respectful.
The Koobideh kebab & Chenjekebab (grilled lamb chunks) are always our go-to choices-they're incredibly tasty, juicy, & made with great-quality meat. This place is a perfect option for a date night or for dining with friends & family.
Wishing you continued success.
Je recommande vraiment ce restaurant. On y mange très bien : les plats sont savoureux, frais & bien préparés, & on sent que la qualité est au rendez-vous. Le cadre est agréable, propre & bien organisé, & l'équipe est toujours souriante & respectueuse.
À chaque fois, on prend le kebab koobideh & le kebab chenjeh (morceaux d'agneau grillés) : c'est super bon, bien juteux, & la viande est de très bonne qualité. C'est une adresse parfaite pour un dîner à deux, mais aussi pour partager un bon repas avec des amis ou en famille.
On reviendra avec plaisir. Merci & bonne continuation !
I went to Behesht Restaurant on Thursday night after quite a while The service was good the rice was great & the marinated olives were excellent
I ordered koobideh & it was even better than usual I'd had it before but that night it was absolutely amazing I truly recommend that everyone go & try the koobideh
J'avais déjà réservé une table pour sept personnes. Tout était en ordre au moment de l'arrivée.
Notre serveur s'appelait Parsa, il était très poli & compétent.
J'ai eu diverses commandes. Mais à mon avis, Kal Kebab, le Barg & le Kase Kebab étaient les meilleurs de tous.
Après longtemps, un restaurant iranien de qualité a été trouvé au Québec.
Merci à vous
Amazing & delicious food. Quick service, not too long wait for food.
Young man was the host helping us get a table & he was very polite & kind helping accommodate our stroller & baby.

We went there with family, the place is beautiful but so small place, they cant accommodate many people. Staff are not professional, the price are extra.
We ask for a place for 3 people they give us a couple dining.
We were a family of three people in the restaurant, even though they had lots of space & free tables but they forced us to stay in a very small table in order to keep the other tables for other people who may come to the restaurant. We respectfully asked them to give us a bigger space but they said that all other tables are reserved which is a big lie. It is a place where you should expect these shameless behavior & unprofessional service from this community. I would never ever recommend this place.
The food was great, very good atmosphere. I enjoyed every single bites of the delicious beef kebabs & dessert. This is the best Persian restaurant to try in Montreal. Really worth the price.
Great food & service. The yogurt garlic appetizer was great. You can tell most of the food is cooked on a charcoal BBQ. I've been here multiple times. It's great to share a plate of different kebabs with friends. The service team speak French, English & Farsi very well.
Le staff est super gentil & le service est top! L'ambiance est traditionnelle & pleine de nostalgie iranienne. Les kebabs sont hyper bons & juteux. Les desserts sont super variés & délicieux!
