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.
The mixed chicken & beef skewers are delicious & affordable. They even include a soup in the price. For the price, it is extremely filling. The black tea is also nice & soothing after the meal. Great restaurant to eat!
I literally WASTED MY MONEY.
Compared to Diba Restaurant, where I usually order from, Behesht Restaurant had a very weak presentation. The salad came with an uncut cucumber & one large slice of tomato, for $8, which is honestly ridiculous.
With the koobideh dish, I only received half of a small tomato, which was bordering on unacceptable, especially since the portion included two kebabs. The food was overly salty, & the soup was extremely basic & plain.
There was no garnish at all on the food.
When you order from Diba, they generously include yogurt, plenty of garnish, lemon, torshi, & even doogh or Coke in the box, but none of that was offered here.
This was an enjoyable experience! Lunch was delicious & the decorations around the restaurant were bright & beautiful. Overalll, I would gladly return.
It used to be a good restaurant, but since they started appearing on Uber & moved to a new location, the quality of their service has dropped sharply. See the photo to see how undercooked meat was served
Behesht Restaurant truly exceeded my expectations! The food was amazing, the atmosphere was cozy, & everything felt professional & well organized.
I especially want to appreciate Alma - she was incredibly friendly, attentive, & overall just wonderful.
Totally recommend visiting this place if you're looking for great service & a perfect dining experience! 🌟✨
The service was good, but the food was extremely disappointing. We ordered the Soltani kebab & the fish, & both were very low quality.
The fish tasted bad, was not fresh at all, & was very tough. The kebabs had no real flavor & were not enjoyable.
Overall, I regret this experience & definitely expected much better.
I tried Vaziri Kebab & Lamb shank both. The quality & taste is nothing fancy, just regular. Food was not warm at all which is disappointing. There were flies all around us which was annoying. Won't recommend if you really want to enjoy having your meal
Cela faisait longtemps que j'étais déçue par la qualité des restaurants iraniens à Montréal, jusqu'à ce qu'une amie me recommande Behesht. La qualité des plats, le service & le personnel étaient excellents. Même si nous y sommes allés pendant les heures de pointe, nous étions vraiment satisfaits.
J'y retournerai certainement!
The portions are so generous. The food is tender & enjoyable. & the service is as good. From my personal experience it's amazing & I definitely recommend families come visit together. But call the restaurant beforehand & make sure that there are reserved places. As it could be a long wait & crowded. Type shi gng the food is ballin fr.
