This place is their new location at the corner of cavendish & st Jacques. Wonderfully decorated & truly a place of warmth & class. Staff are friendly though some had difficulty speaking & understanding English - though Farci is a staple at this restaurant :) The menu is wide & plated as good or better than in the photos. Pricing is on par with other Persian restaurant of this caliber. Portions were excellent. Freshness & quality are excellent. Review. Salad was fresh, cold & crisp. Dressing was good but nothing special. Lamb shank stew (Baghali Polo with Mahicheh) - not recommended. Portion was on the small side. Meat was rubbery & the flavour was lacking. Something wrong likely how they cooked it as it's supposed to be fall of the bone tender. It could be the cut they used & how they cooked it. The fava bean & dill rice was plentiful but overly seasoned with dill, the beans were hard & not tender, & the rice was very dry. It's likely they prepared the typical rice & then added in the additional ingredient & then over cooked the rice - came with a small piece it tahdeek. Also, insufficient amount of stew / gravy. There was not enough to properly marry with the tough, dry & chewy meat. Chicken kebab (chicken Koobideh). The chicken was cooked perfectly as well as seasoned beautifully. The portion was plentiful & came with perfectly cooked basmati rice that was fluffy & not greasy & came with a small piece it tahdeek. Beef kebab (Koobideh) was perfectly seasoned & cooked. It's was so juicy & fresh like no other restaurant has done to match. As per above, cake with & excellent tasting portions of basmati rice & a piece of tahdeek. Yogurt with Persian shallot dip (Must Moosir) was perfect & balanced with a thick creamy yogurt & excellent on pita or combined with the proteins. Portion was very good & four people can easily share. Eggplant dip (Mirza Ghasemi) was superb! Best in the city for sure. The smokeless was on point & the seasoning was perfectly balanced. It's so good you just want to skip to pita & scoop it out with a utensil. Apparently this is their most ordered appetizer they sell. Portion was excellent & four people can easily share. Dessert. I have included the dessert we had & lack the name of it as it's also not mentioned in the menu. It's essentially layered thin pastry (like a proper French mille feuilles) with cream filling in & around it covered with chopped pistachios. I hope I have recalled this properly. This was such a delicious light & flavourful treat away from the typical Baklawa. The only point here is the price ratio to the portion - either the price is too high for the portion or the portion should be larger as it's no more two to (max) three small forkfuls. We didn't notice & mention of BYOB or the selling of any form of alcohol so plan not to consume here. This being stated, you really don't need the alcohol as the atmosphere, service & food really make you very relaxed & satiated. It's amazing how packed the place was & yet the demeanour of the customers was calm & the volume of the place was comfortable to be able to hear the person accepts the table from you. I mention this as if your like mane people, a restaurant with a more calm & quite atmosphere is actually an attraction especially for the elderly who may have hearing challenged. All in all the place is great & will be returning for certain. As for the 4 star rating, this is solely due to the lamb shank stew. It was just too far from "earning a star" & until this dish is prepared properly I without the star, though a more accurate number for me would be 4.5 stars. This being stated I doubt I would order it again as I would not be sure that the chief or management/ ownership will conclude with the same assessment & instead be quite defensive of their food prep & likely not change a thing. I would welcome peoples feedback on this dish to let me know your experience & hopefully one day this dish will be prepared as it should.
Behesht Restaurant in Montreal is a great spot for authentic Iranian cuisine. The food, service, & prices are all excellent, making it a perfect choice for anyone craving Persian flavors. We ordered the Toranj platter for two, which was beautifully presented & came with a generous variety of four kebabs: koobideh (ground beef), chicken koobideh, chicken kebab, & barg kebab. It also included two plates of fragrant saffron rice & a choice of salad or soup, making it a hearty & satisfying meal. To complement our meal, we tried their yogurt with moosir (Persian shallots) & marinated olives, which were absolutely delicious & added a lovely touch of traditional flavors to the experience. The portions were generous, the kebabs were perfectly grilled, & everything was seasoned to perfection. The restaurant has a cozy & welcoming atmosphere, & the service was attentive & friendly throughout. For the quality of the food & the portion sizes, the prices were very reasonable. Behesht is definitely a must-visit for fans of Iranian cuisine or anyone looking to try something new.

Zereshk polo is one of the most popular Persian foods & you can find one of the most delicious ones here! Their masto moosir is wonderful which is a Persian dip with yogurt & shallot. They serve their dishes with Tahdig which is my favorite. Their koobideh needs to be more juicy & greasy to become the original.
On a particularly cold night, We found ourselves seeking warmth & comfort at Behesht, an Iranian restaurant that came highly recommended by locals. Nestled away in an unassuming location, this place truly lives up to its reputation as a hidden gem. The evening began with the Soup of the Day - a hearty Lentil soup that was the perfect remedy for the chill outside. Accompanied by a side of Marinated Olives, the meal started on a high note. The flavors were robust, reminiscent of home-cooked meals that soothe the soul. For the main course, we ordered two plates of Koobideh & Ghormeh Sabzi. The Koobideh, a traditional grilled ground meat dish, was tender & seasoned to perfection. The Ghormeh Sabzi, a fragrant herb stew with tender chunks of meat & beans, was equally delightful. Both dishes were served in generous portions, easily enough to satisfy the appetites of four adults. The pricing at Behesht is reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes & the quality of the food. It's clear that this restaurant prioritizes authenticity & a home-style cooking approach, making it a perfect spot for anyone craving traditional Iranian flavors. Despite its somewhat hidden location, Behesht is a treasure waiting to be discovered. The overall experience was highly positive, & I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a comforting & satisfying meal.
Not very great but not very bad either. kebab torsh & jooje kebab was good but koobideh was not good. Kashk e bademjon was good too. It was sooo noisy & not enough staff, & the downfall was that I was just looking for finishing the good & leave & I didn't enjoy being in that environment at all. This restaurant was much better before but now I think we should look for better options to eat Persian food.
Excellent Food. My family & I visit as often as possible from the US. Our son lives in Montreal, so whenever we visit him, we always stop for a delicious Persian Meal. You know that the food is authentic because it is almost always packed with Persians. Our favorites are the Lentil Soup & the Koobideh. Staff are warm & friendly & very polite.

We ordered Kale Kebab, soup & Salad, ans Marinated Olives for starter. Kale kebab was absolutely tasty as it was marinated with pomegranate sauce. For the main course, we ordered Kebab koobideh which was very juicy & delicious. Overall food quality was high & the restaurant ambiance was nice. The service could have been better as there were only two personals with a lot of customers.
It's definitely the best Persian restaurant in Montreal especially for Koobideh kebab. The staff are really nice too. April 2024 update: they have made the Koobideh kebab thinner & juicier which is even better now! see photo
I called today to place an order for pick up ( baby in the car) & asked for 2 koobideh plates ( pretty straightforward) the gentlemen that answered asked me to give him the name of the dish as stated on their menu. I was driving & couldn't open the menu to look for the names that they gave topical Persian dishes for something as simple as "koobideh" I drove from Laval in traffic ( 50 min ) to there & due to the lack of help & service over the phone decided to go to an other restaurant & pick up instead. He basically told me to go there to order & to wait for my food. Over all I will never be stepping foot there, there are over 10 places in the same area that offer great food & that aren't rude to people on the phone. He wasn't nice at all, not helpful at all & cut me off while I was trying to be friendly. I won't put 0 stars because it's irrelevant to the food but I am so disappointed. Never again.

Tasty Persian cuisine with variety of Kebabs 😋 We tried family dish for four (Behesht) which had different kebabs, including Joojeh, Koobideh, Kebab Torsh, Kebab Chenjeh, & Chiken Koobideh. The food served with soup or salad, which I think soup is far better than the salad. For appetizer, we ordered Mast Khiar (basically yogurt with chopped cucumbers & garlic) & Kale kebab (smoked eggplant with walnuts & pomegranate sauce) which is a dish from North of Iran, it was a bit different but tasty. Upon arrival they asked your number to text you when they have your seats ready which was a bit awkward & discomforting sharing my number. Also they don't make reservations unless you're more than 10 people. Overall it was a great experience for us.
I had heard a lot of praise about it, & finally, yesterday we went with friends. Unfortunately, it wasn't a good experience. Both the food quality was low, & one of the staff's attitude wasn't good either. My friend & I had stomachache till today. We ate koobideh. Unfortunately, when businesses get busy, they often don't prioritize customer service & quality anymore.
I had a wonderful experience at this Persian restaurant. The food was delicious, authentic, & fresh. I loved their Kashkobademjan, & kebab Koobideh which was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous & the prices were reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves Persian cuisine or wants to try something new & delicious. It was a memorable dining experience for me.
