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.

It's definitely the best Persian restaurant in Montreal especially for Koobideh kebab. The staff are really nice too. April 2024 update: they have made the Koobideh kebab thinner & juicier which is even better now! see photo

food was undeniably delicious, I couldn't help but feel let down by the service. The flavors of the dishes transported me to another world, but unfortunately, the service fell short of the standards set by other fine dining establishments in the area. It's a shame to see such exquisite cuisine overshadowed by subpar service. Hopefully, the restaurant can address this issue, as it has the potential to truly shine with a more attentive approach to customer service."

Another fantastic celebration at Behest. This is the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal. We just came back from a birthday dinner for my husband. The atmosphere is inviting & the presentation is great (plates are gorgeous) but the best part is the food. The beautifully seasoned, slowly cooked lamb shank is my favourite but everything is delicious at this place. My daughter is vegetarian & she loves all the options here. All meals start with a soup or salad & end with a cup of tea. The service was excellent & they didn't charge us for the cake cutting or the tea to end our meal. I highly recommend this place!

Small restaurant with nice decor. Waited about 20 minutes in line at a crammed entrance to get a table. I noticed some staff looking at us & others waiting, & there seemed to be this smugness attitude. When someone finally came for the table, they said it was about a 30-45 minute wait, but even then, they weren't sure. Another restaurant received my money with their respect & good service.

We came to this restaurant as everytime we visit Montreal we like to have some Persian food. We saw this restaurant had 4.5 stars so we immediately decided to come to Behesht. The spot itself is very cozy, small but cozy. The inside is designed very nicely giving you a taste of what Iranian restaurants are like. My dish (bakhtiari $50) Others ($20-30) The kabob was pretty tasty however there were a few critiques. The rice had a bit of a smell to it, I'm not sure why.. if it's cheap rice or maybe the way they made it? One of the beef kabobs were completely burnt on the back as well. The chicken was juicy & tender but lacked salt as I had to put salt on my whole dish. The salad & most-mousier (yogurt) was delicious. The service was also OK. Tea was complimentary but they brought the tea with our food dishes still on the table so we tried to stack our plates & make room for the tea. They also forgot to bring our drinks & we had to remind them. One more thing: the bathrooms are very dirty! If the owner or staff sees this I hope it gives them a sign to clean their bathroom.... For these reasons I can only give this place a 3/5
