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 food was delivered with a three-hour delay. When I first followed up, they said the driver had mistakenly marked it as picked up-but even after that, they still didn't send it. There's absolutely no sense of responsibility or follow-up. We ordered lunch, & it's apparently arriving as a late afternoon snack-if it arrives at all, because it still hasn't. Honestly, if it were possible, I wouldn't even give this one star. Not to mention that sometimes they just leave the order at the door, & when we order hot food, it arrives cold
I came here with my friends for my birthday. The quality of the food & the atmosphere were very good. I would like to thank Ms. Sara, who was very polite & the management was excellent.
La nourriture est simplement incroyable. Service en table très rapide. L'ambiance est vraiment super & accueillante. Je recommande à venir manger en restaurant!
I don't know what happened to this restaurant but in last 5 month , despite the high price, the quality went down a lot. Last time I ordered more than 200$ to take out , whole BBQs was not cooked well & my kid got sick. After couple of month we've decided to give it another try & orders by phone & asked to have our food cooked well, what we got was burnt food. I don't recommend this place anymore waste of time & money!
Behesht is a respectable restaurant offering high quality food without the gastronomic'pretense culture'. The decor is modest, warm & original. If you need sunlight, you will have plenty. I invited some friends there & we all appreciated the fesendjan, it was our first 😊. It's definitely a win. Thank you to the employees who contribute to the near elysian experience. Behesht, you won your spot in my Montreal restaurant Trinity 🥳

Food is so bad. Looks like they add liquid smoke to their sour chicken for it to look like it was grilled in charcoal. Chicken was half cooked. Rice was so bad. Washroom is also so dirty . I don't recommend at all.
We visited as a group of 4 & while the food quality was good & most staff were pleasant, our experience was significantly impacted by one staff member who was responsible for serving our area.
Throughout our visit, I had to get up THREE times & walk to the service area myself because we were being ignored. Each time, this staff member responded with visibly rude & dismissive reactions - which was both unprofessional & uncomfortable for our entire group.
It's a shame, because the kitchen did a great job & the other employees were friendly. However, one person's behavior can ruin an entire dining experience for a table of 4. I hope management addresses this, as it would make a real difference.
