Behesht Restaurant est perçu comme une adresse incontournable pour la cuisine persane à Montréal, les avis étant majoritairement élogieux sur des plats savoureux et frais, des portions généreuses, une ambiance chaleureuse et traditionnelle et un service attentif et poli. Le Koobideh et le Chenjeh, ainsi que d autres kebabs, sont souvent cités comme particulièrement réussis, tout comme le Toranj platter, le Barg et le Joojeh selon les goûts, avec une mention récurrente de riz parfumé et d accompagnements qui complètent bien les plats. L atmosphere est décrite comme accueillante, familiale et authentique, mêlant décor traditionnel iranien et musique douce, ce qui fait de l établissement un bon choix pour des dîners en amoureux, entre amis ou en famille. Plusieurs commentaires soulignent la constance de la qualité et le professionnalisme du service, mais certaines observations mettent en avant des points à améliorer: temps d attente pendant les heures de pointe, incohérences occasionnelles sur les commandes ou des plats parfois plus salés, des problèmes de propreté ou d hygiène dans certaines situations et, a l occasion, des soucis de confort ou de bruit et des espaces un peu étroits. Dans l ensemble, Behesht Restaurant est présenté comme l une des meilleures tables perses de Montréal ou du Canada par plusieurs avis, recommandée pour une expérience persane authentique, tout en conseillant de privilégier le service sur place et d être prêt à attendre lors des périodes chargées.
I've been visiting Behesht monthly since its opening. While it started strong, the food quality has noticeably declined. During my last visit, the rice was poorly cooked, & the Barg kebab lacked authentic flavor. Only one non-Persian-speaking server was available, leading to long waits. Restroom facilities were also lacking basic hygiene supplies. Still, great parking, nostalgic decor, & polite staff deserve mention.
One of the best Iranian restaurant experiences I've ever had!
The place was spotlessly clean, the food was delicious & served in generous portions.
The staff were incredibly friendly, polite, & welcoming.
Prices were very reasonable for the quality & quantity of the food.
There was also easy parking nearby.
If you're looking for authentic Persian food with a warm & inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend this place!
The best Persian restaurant in Canada! Literally the most beautiful interior design you could imagine! I got tears in my eyes when tried their dishes for the first time! Tasted like home!!!!
You could tell that they use high quality ingredients & the fact that they're always packed makes everything they serve always fresh.
Good job Behesht
My recent dining experience at Behesht restaurant in Montreal was quite enjoyable. The selection of Persian dishes I sampled, including the Barg, Soltani kebab, & Chengeh, were all prepared to a high standard, showcasing delicious flavors & tender textures. The restaurant also offered a pleasant atmosphere & the service provided was attentive & courteous. Considering the quality of the food & the overall experience, the prices appeared reasonable. I would recommend it to others seeking a satisfying Persian meal in Montreal.

Maybe, if there was beautiful, wordless music playing in the air, it would have been better. Also, the attitude of the lady who brought the card reader was not very interesting. She quickly took the card reader without thanking me & took it away & did not say a word to say goodbye or welcome or that we are waiting for you again. This behavior was not worthy of the environment there. ((Maybe if I had left a $50 tip on the table, I would have seen this behavior)) But overall, the food & its quality were unparalleled. Thank you.
Eat in is delicious at the new location. DO NOT DO PICK UP, they send you to pick up at their old location where the quality is a definite downgrade. Eat in or go somewhere else.
The mixed kebab is amazing!! the meat is very juicy & flavourful, it's hard to find such good quality tender meat in restaurants nowadays but this never ceases to impress me. The lovely atmosphere & decorations give a comforting vibe. The tea is perfectly brewed & everything down to the salad & mirza is perfect. Thank you to Manhal & all the staff for the warm & professional service. They were very accommodating & helpful. 10/10⭐?
I've eaten at Behesht Restaurant a few times & also ordered takeout once, & overall, I had a good experience. The restaurant has a calm & beautiful atmosphere that my non-Iranian friends really appreciated. The staff are kind & welcoming.
As for the food, the Ghormeh Sabzi has always been high quality & delicious. However, jouje torsh, Fesenjan, & Chelo Mahicheh were excellent on one occasion but not as good on another. I did mention that the jouje torsh was dry & a bit burnt, & they were very respectful & quickly replaced it, which I really appreciated.
Thank you for the good memories in your warm & inviting space. I hope you continue to grow & improve even more every day!

It was absolutely fantastic! The staff's behavior was very polite & pleasant. The food quality was exceptional, & the decor was amazing. Also, having the menu in three languages-Persian, English, & Arabic-made the experience even more convenient & enjoyable.
Here's a polished review: We recently dined at Behesht in Montreal, & overall, it was a pleasant experience. The quality of the food was acceptable & reasonably priced. We appreciated that both salad or soup were included as complementary starters with the main dishes. The salad was fresh, which set a good tone for the meal. We ordered Koobideh & Chenjeh. While the Koobideh was flavorful, it could have been a bit more tender & juicy. The Chenjeh, on the other hand, was cooked perfectly. The service was prompt, ensuring a smooth dining experience. The ambiance of the restaurant was also noteworthy, with enough tables to accommodate guests comfortably, even during busy hours, without feeling rushed. One of the highlights of the experience was the complementary black tea, which was a great way to end the meal. Additionally, the restaurant went out of its way to allow our friends to bring their own cake for a special occasion. The manager kindly accommodated this request without any extra charges, which was a thoughtful & generous gesture. Overall, Behesht offers a great mix of good food, warm hospitality, & a comfortable atmosphere. We'll definitely consider visiting.
This restaurant is truly exceptional & dependable. Beyond the quality of their food, their reliability & commitment stand out. I placed a large order for a party at my home, which was mistakenly prepared & delivered much earlier than my requested time. Upon realizing the error, they assured me they would rectify the situation & worked diligently to deliver my order at the correct time. Their dedication & outstanding service not only salvaged my party but also left a lasting impression.

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.
Food & service was excellent. Portions were more than generous, although I'm not Iranian & my perception on authentic Persian cuisine might be different from others. I can safely say that the quality of the dishes was excellent & I will gladly return.
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.
