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.
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.
The kebab was really good, one or the bests I've ever eaten in Canada, but the I've had better rice to be honest. I asked them to bring Tahdig & they brought! The staff were friendly, on top of that the food was prepared so fast!!

I recommend this place, the food is pretty good. Just if only they could serve Persian rice. The quality of their food would have been much more better.
The food here is literally what you'd eat in paradise. They have a great variety of starters & mains. The kababs are my favourite - juicy, succulent & beautifully spiced. Try their ash as well! I'd highly recommend Behesht!
