Okay, Behesht definitely lives up to its name when it comes to the vibe-absolutely stunning! 😍
I walked in & felt like I was transported to Tehran's chicest spot. The handsome manager gave us the warmest welcome.
We ordered the Sultani & koobideh. The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Honestly, I was in foodie heaven... until I took a bite of the rice.
Guys, the rice was a tad bit sangi (hard) for my liking. Also, major ouch😢they didn't give us the tahdig!
I specifically asked for that golden crispy bottom, but alas, it never made it to our table. 😭
I know, first world problems but that crunchy layer is the soul of the meal for me!
Despite that little oopsie, the overall experience was so lovely (thanks to the charming staff) that I'm definitely coming back.
Next time, I'm bringing my own tupperware for the tahdig, just in case! See you soon, Behesht. 💋

We had a wonderful experience at Behesht Restaurant. The food was excellent & full of authentic Persian flavours. We tried the Koobideh, Barg, & Joojeh kebabs, & all of them were delicious, tender, & very well prepared.
The appetizers were also fantastic. We especially loved the marinated olives (Zeytoon Parvardeh) & the garlic torshi (Sir Torshi) - both were absolutely delicious.
The staff were friendly, welcoming, & professional, & the service throughout our meal was excellent.
Great Persian food, great service, & a very enjoyable experience. **Definitely a place we would visit again when we are in Montreal. Highly recommended!

Stepping into Behesht feels like escaping the neighborhood hustle & walking straight into a cozy, authentic corner of Persia. The space hits you with an immediate sense of warmth brick accents, ornate traditional brassware, & rich textiles setting an inviting, transportive tone before you even take a seat. The irresistible aroma of wood-charred meats, fried mint, & saffron drifting from the kitchen instantly lets you know you're in for a exceptional feast.

?The meal opens brilliantly with Kashk-e Bademjan, a rich, warm eggplant dish slow-cooked until velvety smooth & layered with caramelized onions, garlic, & dried mint. Drizzled with tangy fermented whey (kashk) & crowned with crispy fried onions (piaz dagh), it delivers a deep, smoky-savory punch that demands to be scooped up with fresh flatbread.
?That leads right into the showstopping Persian Kebab Platter, served family-style on a heavy, hammered metal tray.

The charcoal-grilled lineup hits every mark: juicy, hand-formed Kebab Koobideh packed with onion & saffron aromatics; vibrant Joojeh Kebab featuring tender chicken marinated in lemon, yogurt, & saffron; & beautifully charred cuts of Barg beef cooked over open coals for maximum depth. Balanced by blistered fire-roasted tomatoes & sharp pickled red cabbage to cut through the richness, it's a generous, soul-warming meal that fully captures the heart of Persian hospitality.

For the first time experience, we had a great time. The menu is a bit pricy except for the koobideh. The food portion is fair & they offer a complimentary tea at the end. Everything was great except the meat was overcooked for the chenjeh.
Overall, it is a nice place to have lunch.

We visited Montreal for three days, & this exceptional Iranian restaurant was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. The koobideh was the best we had during our visit-absolutely delicious! The traditional Persian decor was beautiful, & we especially appreciated the lovely prayer room.

Wonderful food, welcoming atmosphere, & a great experience overall. Highly recommended!

Ils ont un menu spécial pour le diner pendant la semaine (de midi à 15h) qui offre des plats comme Koubideh à 14.99$.
Je l'ai choisi, mais quand la serveuse m'a apporté l'addition, j'ai remarqué que ce n'est pas le même prix affiché dans le menu & c'est beaucoup plus cher. Quand j'ai demandé la raison, la serveuse m'a dit que c'est uniquement quand vous payez comptant (histoire de ne pas payer la taxe par la commerce) alors que ce n'était pas du tout indiqué sur le menu.
Le Koobideh aussi était très salé.
De plus, j'ai constaté que la serveuse avait un comportement très différent entre les clients iraniens & non-iraniens. Elle est venue demandé à plusieurs reprises aux clients non-iraniens s'ils avaient besoin de quelque chose alors qu'elle n'est jamais venue me poser la question.
Je vous recommande pas d'y aller.

Nice decor & ambiance. The chicken kebab was good. Koobideh not as much. Service was good. Food presentation was above average.

Great Persian food in Toronto. The staff were incredibly friendly & the food was also great. I would not recommend the barg kebab though but the koobideh & kebab torsh was amazing. Will definitely return

The food at the restaurant was excellent. We ordered the mixed platter for four people, & every single item was delicious. The koobideh kebab & the torsh kebab were especially outstanding. The service was exceptional, & the staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming.
