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.View more

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⭐?View more

As a Brazilian, I'm a meat lover. & this restaurant is a truly gem - not only the ambiance, but also the food & personnel. The kebab torsh is superb !View more

I liked the food & the environment. They can have some improvements on joojeh kebab though! In comparison to kebab torsh & barg, the joojeh taste wasn't that good… Although the service could be much better.View more

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.View more

One of the best Iranian kebabs in Montreal. & the only one I've found that the jujeh (chicken) kebab is juicy & not dry. Highly recommend.View more
Maryam
The food was delicious & the portion was generous. We enjoyed the Kebab Torsh, Chicken Kebab, & Kebab. The Kale Kebab was tasty. The combination of smoked eggplant+ wulnut+Pomegranate molasse were really good. The chicken kebab & kebab torsh were awesome, they were two of the best I have eaten. Chicken kebab was tasty & soft. Overall, I recommend this place to everyone.View more

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.View more

I came because of the good comments. I ordered koobide kebab. Unfortunately, it smelled very strongly of onions. The amount of rice was very small & the food smelled of metal because it was served in a metal dish. The salad was dry & not fresh. The waiter was an inexperienced teenage boy, & the chair Very much compared to the size of the restaurant.View more

It is one of the best experiences that I ever had in Montreal restaurants. You can a complete range of Iranian kebabs & appetizers for two persons only with 60 dollars. The atmosphere reminds you Iranian & orientalist architecture, the service is also great. There is also plenty of space for parkingView more

The quality of the food has really gone down compared to the early days of this restaurant. They're using the lowest quality rice, & the rice served is really tasteless. The kebab skewers have also gotten thinner every time I've comeView more

I recently dined at Behesht restaurant & had a mixed experience. The restaurant offers a variety of Iranian-style main courses, which were impressive. The menu has several delicious side options, adding to the overall appeal. I tried their kebabs (a combination of different types) which ranged from good to average in taste. The salad was fresh & good, but the rice was a bit disappointing as it wasn't prepared very well. The bread, unfortunately, was not fresh & had a sweet taste that I did not enjoy. (Their olive side dish was my favorite part, well balanced & tasted kind of smooth). I didn't notice ( & didn't ask) any alcoholic beverages, but I saw some people smoking hookah ( outdoor sitting area) The restaurant's ambiance was pleasant with nice decorations, & it was clean. Free parking spaces were available, which was convenient. The servers were polite & nice, but the overall service was slow. Their prices were fine, not expensive, nor cheap. Despite some shortcomings, the overall quality of the food & dining experience was good.View more

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.View more
Mandeep
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.View more

Objet : Retour d'expérience au Restaurant Iranien BEHESHT Madame/Monsieur, Nous tenons tout d'abord à vous exprimer notre satisfaction quant à la qualité de certains aspects de votre établissement. Lors de notre dernier visite , j'ai pu apprécier le riz & les kebabs qui étaient bons. Cependant, je me dois de vous faire part de certains points négatifs qui ont terni mon expérience. J'ai été particulièrement déçu par l'état des toilettes qui étaient sales, manquaient de papier & semblaient nécessiter une rénovation urgente. Un tel manquement à l'hygiène est préoccupant & nuit à l'image de votre établissement. De plus, je regrette de devoir mentionner le comportement non professionnel d'une de vos serveuses, une jeune femme d'une trentaine d'années. Son manque d'expérience était évident & contrastait fortement avec le niveau de service que l'on est en droit d'attendre dans la restauration. Dans d'autres restaurants, il est courant que les serveurs & serveuses bénéficient de formations pour offrir un service de qualité, mais malheureusement, cela ne semblait pas être le cas ici. Nous sommes convaincus que ces remarques sont constructives & seront prises en considération afin d'améliorer la qualité du service offert par le Restaurant Iranien BEHESHT. Nous restons attachés à la cuisine iranienne & j'espère que lors de ma prochaine visite, nous pourrions constater des améliorations significatives. Je vous remercie de l'attention que vous porterez à cet avis & reste à votre disposition pour en discuter de vive voix si vous le jugez nécessaire.View more
