The food was great especially the lamp shank and the appetizer Mirza Ghasemi. Portions are great and most don't finish their meal so you will have leftovers for lunch. Service was great as they explained and recommended some dishes. Also verified if everything was good a couple of times which is a plus. We went on a Sunday night and it was still busy so recommended to call and reserve. Will definitely come back again!

Behesht is truly a gem for anyone who appreciates delicious food and excellent service. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it perfect for both casual meals and special occasions. The dishes are incredibly flavorful, with fresh ingredients and authentic recipes that transport you straight to the heart of Persian cuisine. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always ready to recommend the best options on the menu. From the beautifully presented starters to the heavenly desserts, every bite was a delight. I highly recommend Behesht to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We ordered the massive meat platter for 5 people and it was the perfect amount of food. All the meat we tried was super tender and well seasoned. We went on a Saturday evening and if we didn’t have reservations, there was no way we would have gotten seated especially considering we were a bigger group. I might have skipped on the dessert since it wasn’t my favourite baklava but it was still a good way to finish our meal.

I am so glad that this place was open on Labour Day. My wife has wanted to try Persian cuisine for the longest time and I was in Montreal so decided to google and this restaurant had great reviews so I decided to give it a try. Absolutely amazing from the service the atmosphere and the food. The place was crazy busy and the food was just flying out of the kitchen with such finesse. I was given a tea while I waited and when I got the food it was packaged perfectly and the owner was very kind and courteous. When I got home and opened it all up it was incredible. My wife was so happy and said it was exactly what she hoped it would be. I will definitely be returning and I recommend this place to everyone

We ordered food for an event with 24 adults, and it was the most exquisite Persian cuisine I’ve ever had in Montreal. The presentation was stunning, and the portions were generous, easily enough for over 35 people. The kebabs were exceptionally juicy and fresh, while the Basmati rice was simply unparalleled. The appetizers and side dishes were super delicious. The staff at the shop were incredibly gracious and ensured the food was delivered to the event on time and perfectly warm.

I recently dined at Behesht restaurant and 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 and good, but the rice was a bit disappointing as it wasn’t prepared very well. The bread, unfortunately, was not fresh and had a sweet taste that I did not enjoy. (Their olive side dish was my favorite part, well balanced and tasted kind of smooth). I didn't notice ( and 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, and it was clean. Free parking spaces were available, which was convenient. The servers were polite and nice, but the overall service was slow. Their prices were fine, not expensive, nor cheap. Despite some shortcomings, the overall quality of the food and dining experience was good.

EDIT: I used to be a regular at this restaurant, but after my last experience, I've decided never to go back. During our visit on a crowded Sunday, we were completely ignored by the waiter despite there being available seats. He turned away to chat with another employee, leaving us waiting for assistance. When a foreign customer arrived, the same waiter who had been ignoring us promptly seated them without acknowledging our presence, even though they didn't have a reservation. It felt like they were given preferential treatment due to their race. Later, when we asked for a table, we were told that we needed a reservation, despite being previously informed that reservations were not necessary. Although this was once one of my favorite Persian restaurants in Montreal, I won't be returning and will be trying other Persian restaurants instead. The food at this restaurant is consistently delicious and fresh, and the service is usually excellent. The atmosphere is charming, but the space is relatively small and always crowded. The tables are small, and I think the restaurant feels too crowded given its size. Nevertheless, I have been there over 20 times, and it has never failed to impress me.

Amazing melt in mouth kebabs and super flavourful rice! We ordered a platter for 2 which had 4 different kebabs, 2 plates of rice, humus and pita and 2 soups. The lentil soup had great balance of ginger and freshness of cilantro! The kebabs were moist and 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 and the server asked me to use the men’s washroom which was occupied and led to an awkward encounter.

Behesht Restaurant in Montreal is a great spot for authentic Iranian cuisine. The food, service, and 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 and came with a generous variety of four kebabs: koobideh (ground beef), chicken koobideh, chicken kebab, and barg kebab. It also included two plates of fragrant saffron rice and a choice of salad or soup, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. To complement our meal, we tried their yogurt with moosir (Persian shallots) and marinated olives, which were absolutely delicious and added a lovely touch of traditional flavors to the experience. The portions were generous, the kebabs were perfectly grilled, and everything was seasoned to perfection. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and the service was attentive and friendly throughout. For the quality of the food and 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.

We devoured the kebab platter in less than 20 minutes. Flavourful, light, not greasy. Perfectly balanced starters. They are opening up a new set up across the street. Decoration can be improved. Would have preferred the seating arrangement to be more comfortable. Overall pleasant experience.

The quality of the food was really low and it tasted bad

Saturday night my friend and I visited this restaurant, I encountered significant issues with the cashier. She seemed incapable of managing the billing process effectively, often appearing confused and unprofessional. Her demeanor was unfriendly, with an angry expression and a lack of basic courtesy, which made the experience quite unpleasant. I strongly suggest re-evaluating her suitability for this role and considering someone more competent and customer-oriented.

Zereshk polo is one of the most popular Persian foods and you can find one of the most delicious ones here! Their masto moosir is wonderful which is a Persian dip with yogurt and shallot. They serve their dishes with Tahdig which is my favorite. Their koobideh needs to be more juicy and greasy to become the original.

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 and the food smelled of metal because it was served in a metal dish. The salad was dry and not fresh. The waiter was an inexperienced teenage boy, and the chair Very much compared to the size of the restaurant.

It s was very bad service and environment , They are just looking for a tip, not even once did the waiter come to ask if you need anything or not?

November 22, 2024

Actually I tried their food last night but the quality of either the rice or even the meat (Koobideh) was terrible, I dont understand this, the Koobideh Kabab is the simplest type of food you can order in a restaurant and this was so awful so imagine the other types of foods.

The staff are tip mongering addicts. They will confront you on the spot in-front of your friends if you dont tip them and make you feel awkward. Despite paying a high price, they will keep their eyes on the bill to make sure you tipped them otherwise you will be talked down to. First time last time. Lot of their reviews also seem fake since they all have 1 review under their account.

On a particularly cold night, We found ourselves seeking warmth and 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 and Ghormeh Sabzi. The Koobideh, a traditional grilled ground meat dish, was tender and seasoned to perfection. The Ghormeh Sabzi, a fragrant herb stew with tender chunks of meat and 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 and the quality of the food. It s clear that this restaurant prioritizes authenticity and 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, and I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a comforting and satisfying meal.

I ordered the grilled bouffe ( kabab Torsh), which arrived smaller than before and overcooked, all was burned and making it unsafe to eat.

In general, the service of foreign restaurants is better than the service of Iranian restaurants, and the pounded kebab we ate there was not very similar to the pounded kebabs of restaurants inside Iran. Of course, it was better than other Iranian restaurants, none of the Iranian restaurants in Montreal. Their pounded kebabs are not good, even Afghan and Iraqi restaurants have much better pounded kebabs. My advice is that you should not order pounded kebabs in any Iranian restaurant in Montreal. They have forgotten the real Iranian pounded kebab. Personally, I will never go to an Iranian restaurant in Montreal again.

Friday night we dined at Behesht Restaurant, and unfortunately, my experience was marred by exceptionally poor service. waitress who has red hair was notably rude from the moment we sat down. She didnt care about us while we called her, she ignored us and was laughing. Is she nuts? She seemed impatient and abnormal personality, often responding curtly and with an annoyed tone.Throughout the meal, she was inattentive and dismissive, making us feel like we were an inconvenience. Simple requests for refills water bottle or additional bread were met with visible irritation. This lack of basic courtesy significantly detracted from the overall dining experience. While the food was decent, and the other staff were polite the service left much to be desired. Its disappointing to see such a lack of professionalism in a customer-facing role. I hope the management addresses these issues to ensure a more pleasant experience for future patrons. I wont be returning anytime soon.

Worst experience .!We went as family of 4 with a child and a10 month old baby . Upon entrance we asked to have a table inside and the servers said all empty tables are reserved and sitted us outside in 28 degree weather. Had to leave half of the food and take the rest home cuz my baby was dehydrated and flushed red. The whole time tables inside were left empty. Poor service and very irresponsible managment. Will never go back

Magnifique expérience. Les plats sont délicieux ainsi que la soupe à l entrée(les enfants ont adoré. Le service moyen par contre car il y a beaucoup de monde. Nous étions en terrasse y a beaucoup d insectes mais c était convivial et le personnel est très gentil et chaleureux. La viande est super bonne nous avons pris un plat familial

I didnt have a good experience, even though there were 4 empty tables, the gentleman who was there was telling everyone that you have to wait for 40 minutes because there are other people on the waiting list, but no one was there to wait.

First few times when they opened the food was good after few times .... decreasing quality and service. Raw chicken, rice smelled like hay , drinks where warm . Step up your game .

I ordered Ghormesabzi with soup and was extremely disappointed with the meal. The food was excessively oily and heavy, and I initially thought I would feel better after a few hours. However, its been a month, and my stomach still hasnt recovered, and Ive developed swallowing issues. I suspect that not all the food is freshly prepared, and some of it might be reheated from the refrigerator. I can no longer recommend this restaurant, as Im still struggling with health issues a month later. I hope the food inspectors take action and fine this irresponsible restaurant.

About a month ago, I had dinner at this restaurant. Initially, everything seemed perfect the restaurant, the atmosphere! I ordered Fesenjoon with rice, but it turned out to be excessively oily. I live a very healthy lifestyle, using only olive oil and avoiding fried foods, so I never consume anything with that much oil. When I got home, I felt a heaviness in my stomach and began burping continuously. Since then, Ive had difficulty swallowing and can t digest meat-based foods. Im not sure what caused this, but it all started after that meal. I wish I had never dined there...

I recently celebrated my birthday at this restaurant and I had the best experience. The staff were super friendly and the ambiance was perfect. Best Persian cuisine in Montreal. It offers variety of starters and main dishes and Kebabs were really fresh and juicy. I highly recommend this place.

★★★
August 22, 2024

Not very great but not very bad either. Kabab torsh and jooje kabab was good but koobideh was not good. Kashk e bademjon was good too. It was sooo noisy and not enough staff, and the downfall was that I was just looking for finishing the good and leave and 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.

This place definitely has hygiene problems. I live in Toronto, and on my way back from Quebec, when I was feeling a bit under the weather, I searched for a Persian restaurant to have some soup. I saw the ratings and thought, Yeah, this is where we should go. My family, who was visiting Canada, was with me. When we went to wash our hands, a rat ran into the washroom! I screamed and left immediately. Im not even sure if they actually took care of the rat, though they claimed they did. My mistake was staying there after seeing it, but I wasnt feeling well enough to search for another place. The food quality was mediocre at best. Overall, this was one of the worst Persian restaurants Ive ever been to.

We ordered Kale Kebab, soup and 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 and delicious. Overall food quality was high and the restaurant ambiance was nice. The service could have been better as there were only two personals with a lot of customers.

First of all, I must say that the service was excellent, that is, the lady who works for the salon and outside is very hardworking and provides excellent service, and we should thank them more and more. They should be proud to have such a waiter, because if it wasnt for them, I would have returned the food in the first place The dishes we ordered included It was pounded and stewed with vegetables beaten: Half of the rice was burnt and it was very dry. There was not enough rice and it smelled bad. I give 5 points out of 10 for vegetable stew The only advantage here was the first salad, which was free In addition, the grown olives we ordered were over-flavored and little walnuts were used and even had few vegetables and the olives were very small. (I expressed my opinion at the insistence of the front desk here, because they insisted that our food was good? They were asking me in a way that I should give them a positive answer and most importantly, the service of spoon and fork was very old and the bathroom was very dirty I just dont know why the rate here is 4.5, and I hope they reconsider the cooking and quality of their food next time, because this place has the potential to be better than these

Behesht Restaurant in Montreal is an absolute gem and a true paradise for Persian cuisine lovers! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The culinary journey here is nothing short of extraordinary every dish is crafted with impeccable skill and bursting with authentic flavors. The kebabs are grilled to perfection, tender and juicy, while the fragrant rice dishes, infused with saffron and other delightful spices, are simply divine. The rich, savory stews are an absolute must-try, and the appetizers and desserts will leave you speechless. The service is top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who go above and beyond to ensure an unforgettable dining experience. Behesht Restaurant truly lives up to its name it s a little piece of heaven in Montreal. Whether you re a connoisseur of Persian food or a first-timer, this place will exceed your expectations.

My wife has celiac (Gluten allergy) and the waiter took care of it carefully. Even he was alert to mention that rice could be contaminated due to having bread (Tahdig underneath rice cooking pot). Just perfect. Delicious and generous food. Im traditional style dishes (Metal trays). Amazing Mastokhiar.

The staff service is super professional, free parking space available, lack of atmosphere for example music, television, I have often eaten at this restaurant for over 1 year now and I really like their food but I find that the quality and the quantity and decreasing each time, if you want to keep your customers you must continue to offer the same quality and quantity, I have referred many of my friends and families and I will continue to come I hope that the quality will remain the same instead of decreasing and also with time I noticed the quantity of rice to decrease.
