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.

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.
