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.
C'était la première fois que nous allions dans ce restaurant en famille. La nourriture nous a beaucoup plu, c'était très délicieux ! La viande était tout simplement excellente ! Un grand merci.
We ordered online & we had people coming over. Food arrived 2h late even though we ordered at 10 am to organize our day. Food came cold & it was not up to usual standard. Very bad.
Unfortunately the food was NOT fresh!
& the service was terrible!!
They forgot to clean our table, forgot to come when we asked, & still expected to get tips !
I am really disappointed, I really wish I could spent my money on a better service !
Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with the kebab Torsh at this restaurant.
The taste was not authentic at all, & the sour flavor was unpleasant.
Most importantly, the food did not seem fresh.
Considering the price, I expected much better quality.
Additionally, given the winter season, there was a lack of proper snow removal at the restaurant entrance, which could be dangerous for customers.
I hope the management pays more attention to the quality & freshness of the food, as well as the safety of the environment.
J'ai été hier soir au restaurant Behesht pour le souper avec des amis, on a adoré ! Je recommande fortement pour ceux ou celles qui veulent goûter à la cuisine perse. Le personnel est sympathique, aimable & toujours disponible pour répondre à nos besoins. Le restaurant nous a offert du thé à la fin de notre souper, ce qui est franchement sympa.
It had good atmosphere but food it wasn't good unfortunately
Not recommended chicken koobieh at all ot dosen't have any Taste & not recommended Kashk Bademjon
I LOVE IT REALLY MUCH is near my house & I go often the decoration is really cozy it remind me of Iran 🥺food is good 😌 will
Come again . I shared few pictures of how many times I went I like the taste of kebab because it dosent taste 🐑 lamb & I am not used to this since I grew up in Canada although most iranien love when it taste lam
We did not like the taste of the rice.they use very low quality rice which ruins the taste of whole dish. The kobideh kebab wasn't taste good too. & despite many available seats we were asked to sit close to washroom which wasn't nice too.
Surprisingly the restaurant makes their mixed platter more expensive, so avoid the'Shahani' platter & order dishes separately. The food, service & decoration were great.

We went there to introduce Persian culture to our Canadian friends, & everything was perfect! The staff were polite & friendly, & the food was delicious. I'd recommend this restaurant for a memorable experience!
From the moment we walked in, everything was perfect. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, & very welcoming. The food is outstanding. Every dish was full of rich, authentic Iranian flavors & cooked to perfection. The kebabs were juicy & tender, the rice was fragrant, & the portions were very generous.
If you are looking for authentic Iranian cuisine in Montreal, Behesht is a must-visit. High-quality food, excellent service, & a lovely ambiance. We will definitely be coming back again & again!
Highly recommended 🌿🍽?💚
This was a first catering order for us & we do not recommend this restaurant due to *lateness*, *incomplete preparation*, *inappropriate presentation* & poor quality of food. It didn't seem like they understood what it means to cater ready food nor that they appreciated our business.
We ordered food for multiple people for our Christmas party & asked that the rice & meat be kept in separate containers for an agreed upon time. Results:
- We drove an hour to get to the restaurant & arrived a few minutes before the pickup time, we were told we're'early' & had to wait another 45 minutes, which derailed our party dinner plans.
- The food was packed in individual portions instead of all meat together & rice together, which meant we had to separate the meat & rice & rearrange everything before serving.
- The kebab skewers were broken & not grilled enough, no saffron, which is terrible koobideh by any standards.
- The lettuce & cucumber & tomatoes were not even chopped so we had to make the salad ourselves!
- The'yellow' color on the rice looked like food colouring instead of saffron so we had to improvise ourselves.
In the end, we had to re-grill the kababs ourselves & add saffron to make it presentable & we had to make the salads ourselves from the ingredients. As a result of the restaurant's sloppy service our dinner plans were delayed by 2 hours, which is why we will not order from this restaurant again.
Food was not tasty & not good at all. I ordered a koobideh & was not cooked enough. Food was cold & there was no one who came to check on us no waiter. They only brought food & never saw after. Service not good & last time going there food was awful for what i paid! Do not recommend this place at all.
