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.

Amazing melt in mouth kebabs & super flavourful rice! We ordered a platter for 2 which had 4 different kebabs, 2 plates of rice, humus & pita & 2 soups. The lentil soup had great balance of ginger & freshness of cilantro! The kebabs were moist & fresh with very prompt service. The meal also came with free Persian tea. The only critique is of the female/ladies washroom which was in a horrible condition & the server asked me to use the men's washroom which was occupied & led to an awkward encounter.

Les Points positif : 1. Les repas sont très bons & les portions vraiment généreuses par rapport de prix. En plus la salade ou soupe très goûteuse est déjà compris dans le prix! 2. La décoration de salon & le bacon est très sympa. 3. Beaucoup de choix pour les gens qui veulent goûter un nouveau goût. 4. Les employés sont corrects & sympathiques. 5. Le service est rapide. 6. Beaucoup d'emplacement gratuits pour stationner. 7. Pas de réservation nécessaire. & le restaurant est ouvert jusqu'à 21h!!!Super! Les points négatif: 1. Les employés ne parlent forcément pas français. 2. La salle de bain a besoin de rénovation. En général j'ai beaucoup apprécié ce restaurant & j'y vais certainement dans mes prochaines voyages à Montréal.

Another fantastic celebration at Behest. This is the best Iranian restaurant in Montreal. We just came back from a birthday dinner for my husband. The atmosphere is inviting & the presentation is great (plates are gorgeous) but the best part is the food. The beautifully seasoned, slowly cooked lamb shank is my favourite but everything is delicious at this place. My daughter is vegetarian & she loves all the options here. All meals start with a soup or salad & end with a cup of tea. The service was excellent & they didn't charge us for the cake cutting or the tea to end our meal. I highly recommend this place!

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.

The food was really tasty & unique & the quality was pretty good! The combos don't seem like the best deals, our side ordered 5 plates & the other side ordered a 5 person plate. They paid quite a bit more than us but only had a bit more food. They also only had one extra meat compared to us. That said, the food was excellent & I'm looking forward to coming back to try more dishes. Also the lentil soup was spectacular!

We had the darbari for 3, was served with 3 rice & 3 appetizers either lentil soup which was spot on or salad with hummus which was nice as well. The food was more than enough, very generous portion.
The meat was very fresh & perfectly seasoned. Overall a great environment, the indoor dining is really nice & aesthetically pleasing, outdoor seating was nice too but it lowkey smelled weird.

I’d definitely recommend if someone’s into Persian cuisine or looking to try it out, this is your spot!
