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.

Loved their “gheymeh bademjoon
“ & “kashk e bademjoon”. Very tasty one! Just wished for some fresh/warm bread with some fresh herbs beside “ kashk e bademjoon”!
Good service/atmosphere & free parking. I would defiantly come back here when I am in Montreal.

The waitress was cranky & she tried to make me leave the restaurant as soon as possible. The food was not good enough,. I guess, they just warmed up some already refrigerated foods. Also, the restaurant is too far from the downtown. However, it is better than nothing..

Pros:
Great food, friendly staff, no single use plastics
Cons:
Not a great location if you don't drive. Long wait time. One washroom probably not enough for the size of the restaurant.

I recently dined here & while the ambiance & service were excellent, I found the food to be less impressive. The restaurant's atmosphere was cozy, & the staff were attentive & friendly. However, the dishes lacked that "wow" factor I was hoping for. While not outstanding, it's still a decent option if you prioritize ambiance & service over extraordinary cuisine.

had the pleasure of dining at Behesht Persian restaurant recently for a family gathering, & I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The new management, in charge for the past year, has truly transformed this place.

First & foremost, the kababs were nothing short of amazing. The flavors were rich & authentic, reminding me of the traditional Persian cuisine I love. It's safe to say that they serve the best kababs in town.

But it wasn't just the food that left a lasting impression. The staff, particularly Parsa & the Iraqi gentleman who served us, were incredibly attentive & friendly. Their warm hospitality added to the overall enjoyment of our meal.

Having visited the old restaurant & witnessing the positive changes under the new management, I can confidently say that Behesht has elevated itself to a whole new level. If you're looking for a top-notch Persian dining experience with mouthwatering kababs & excellent service, this is the place to be. My family & I left with smiles on our faces & satisfied taste buds, & we'll definitely be returning for more memorable meals in the future.
