Behesht est largement apprécié pour ses saveurs persanes authentiques, avec koobideh, joojeh et Barg, des portions généreuses et une ambiance traditionnelle chaleureuse. Le service est amical et attentif, et la décoration ainsi que l'ambiance donnent souvent une impression accueillante et traditionnelle. Dans l'ensemble, la qualité est élevée et les prix restent raisonnables compte tenu des portions, ce qui en fait un choix remarquable pour la cuisine persane à Montréal. Certains avis signalent toutefois des plats parfois servis tièdes ou des incohérences entre les visites, et quelques expériences évoquent de longs délais ou des questions d'hygiène ou de sécurité rares. Dans l'ensemble, Behesht est salué pour des plats savoureux et bien préparés et pour une hospitalité chaleureuse, adaptée aux repas en famille, aux sorties en amoureux et aux rassemblements.
I recommend this place, the food is pretty good. Just if only they could serve Persian rice. The quality of their food would have been much more better.
The food here is literally what you'd eat in paradise. They have a great variety of starters & mains. The kababs are my favourite - juicy, succulent & beautifully spiced. Try their ash as well! I'd highly recommend Behesht!
Behesht is an outstanding restaurant in Montreal! The food is absolutely delicious, & they truly have the best kabobs in the city-both the Barg & the Koobide are perfectly seasoned & cooked to perfection. The staff are very friendly & welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Persian cuisine!

Fesenjoon was incredible, as was everything I ate! Loved the lentil soup especially. Only comments would be the music was a little loud so it was sometimes hard to communication with the server.
This restaurant isn't ideal if you're looking to find a bite somewhere & expect to get seats immediately, neither is there any space to wait except 2 chairs in a cramped foyer & entrance. We waited over an hour to get seats & quite frankly the set up, ambiance, & the practicality of the restaurant's atmosphere were not worth waiting that long for. & neither was the food. If you really intend on waiting because your heart desires Iraqi food more than anything, I suggest having one of your own members from your party line up for you so the rest of the entrance isn't crowded & you don't feel hot & claustrophobic.
Inside the actual restaurant, the atmosphere is is stuffy, poor, & under ventilated. If you have problems with feeling suffocated, do not go to this restaurant. My sister experienced severe nausea from the lack of oxygen flow throughout the rest of the stay there (a universal experience for her whenever she is in a poorly ventilated area). She ended up having to leave her meal midway & step outside to breathe. You'll find yourself sweating & the employees will be asking themselves what is up with the AC (a literal conversation I overheard). The architecture & design inside isn't anything relatively new but reflects quite traditional styles so it isn't all bad, but it feels stuffy & humid everywhere which veers you from noticing anything nice Additionally, just from standing in line you can see the understaffed work environment. There aren't enough employees working & delays are everywhere in the restaurant. The servers themselves are nice, & the hospitality efforts are great, but it's very messy. It's more on the amount of the employees than it is on the actual employees themselves, they are not the problem; the number of them are.
The food was okay. My family & I have tried many Iraqi dining experiences & this one was mediocre. It is not worth spending 3 hours just to wait in line, wait more for food, & then eat. The wait for the food itself isn't terrible. We got 2 orders of the chenjeh, an order of the vaziri, & the lamb shank. The lamb shank was a favourite for me & the koobideh was decently flavoured but nothing that stood out at all. The chenjeh was okay too. Lentil soup is nice & salad quantity is decent but it's just an average salad with thousand island dressing. Complimentary tea is provided after your meal, & our total for 4 meals & 2 drinks (Ayran & a soda) was around 153 bucks CAD.
While the service & hospitality are sure to meet your standards, they unfortunately don't make up for the uncomfortable atmosphere of the restaurant & excessively + unreasonable wait times. If you value your time & money I suggest opting for another spot that is more accessible friendly & can accommodate you better overall.
The food was excellent, but the staff made the experience even better. We tried the Koubideh & Joojeh-both were incredibly juicy & delicious. Try the tea & Baklava for dessert!
