Behesht Restaurant

Great food - high quality meat and ingredients. I’d skip the spiced koobideh, as it tasted like added hot sauce instead of chillies. Compared to Toronto, this is quite pricey for the same portions. We had friendly staff, there wasn’t much of a wait, and plenty of parking at the location.

What impressed me the most about the restaurant was its beautiful ambiance — from the lovely paintings on the walls to the elegant decorations and the soft traditional Iranian music playing in the background. As for the food, I really enjoyed it. It was tasty, the portion sizes were just right, and overall, I’d give it a solid 4 out of 5. We ordered Kabab Torsh and Koobideh, both of which were well-prepared. The meal came with a choice of salad or soup, and it ended nicely with a cup of tea. Also, the lady who served our food was very kind and friendly, which made the experience more pleasant.

Sweet and neat homy Persian restaurant with very friendly service. Fresh food, proper portion with fair price. The meat is not so dry not so greasy, it fits my taste well. Many options for meat dishes but also for vegetarians.

I’ve eaten at Behesht Restaurant a few times and also ordered takeout once, and overall, I had a good experience. The restaurant has a calm and beautiful atmosphere that my non-Iranian friends really appreciated. The staff are kind and welcoming. As for the food, the Ghormeh Sabzi has always been high quality and delicious. However, jouje torsh, Fesenjan, and Chelo Mahicheh were excellent on one occasion but not as good on another. I did mention that the jouje torsh was dry and a bit burnt, and they were very respectful and quickly replaced it, which I really appreciated. Thank you for the good memories in your warm and inviting space. I hope you continue to grow and improve even more every day!

This is a phenomenal restaurant! The food is really good quality and delicious. The manager is especially excellent, so respectful and accommodating. The prayer room is highly appreciated. The waitresses and waiters are nice. The food comes promptly even when they are full house. The decor is beautiful. Would love it if there were windows on the second floor. Been here twice already and will be coming again and recommending to others!

Overall I was extremely impressed with the quality and deliciousness of the food. This was my first time trying the place and it was takeout which I picked up. I had the Toranj special (for 2) which is a nice assortment and mixed plate of everything for $69.95 Everything was well packed and delicious. Price wise its not cheap but the quality and variety was there and everything costs nowindays so what can you. It came with 2 large saffron rices, soup, salad, hummus, 4 types of grilled meats and some veggies.

One of the best Iranian restaurant experiences I’ve ever had! The place was spotlessly clean, the food was delicious and served in generous portions. The staff were incredibly friendly, polite, and welcoming. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food. There was also easy parking nearby. If you’re looking for authentic Persian food with a warm and inviting atmosphere, I highly recommend this place!

I wish I could give a better review as I liked the food (though the koobideh was a bit undercooked). However, I cannot in all fairness say that this restaurant is clean enough for a returning customer. There were so many flies hovering above the table that eating turned into a hassle. I had to constantly wave my hand to prevent flies from sitting on my food. On top of that, when they brought bread and butter to our table, the first package of butter I picked was open and used. It was clear that it was pick up from another table once the customers had finished their food (see the picture), not to mention that the butter was not even real butter; it was margarine (so cheap). All in all, with so many choices in Montreal, this customer is not coming back. Post note: At the end of our dinner, my son of 11 ordered the Baqlava on the menu. He got a plate with one piece of Baqlava. The item on the menu was a two-piece dessert. They just felt comfortable bringing one piece for my son since he was a kid. As it turned out, they did not feel shy charging the full-price though.

Great Persian food. Fast professional service. Went with a group of 10 people on a Saturday night. Will update review soon.

I was looking for some Persian food and this one showed up in my proximity. I decided to stop by. Super nice staff, specially the gentleman greeting the guest. I ordered the Bakhtiari dish but instead of rice, I requested salad. It was a great choice and I was very happy with the quality of the food. Very tasty and seasoned well. I also tried their soup as a pre-course which was also very delicious. I'll certainly want to try this place again.

Very solid take out Persian food. Kabobs were moist and tasty, plentiful rice, all the stews were flavorful and well done. Great take out cant speak to the dine in but i would definitely recommend and will return next time in Montreal.

Food is excellent, the plates are plentiful. A local neighborhood gem. Worth a visit although it is not in a typical tourist area.

Delicious Persian restaurant! Meats are cooked really well with high quality ingredients. The aroma of the rice hits you as soon as you walk into this lovely establishment. Staff members are super friendly and the owner even comes by the tables to ask for feedback on how they can improve. Great place for an authentic Persian meal!

Excellent traditionally yet tastefully decorated restaurant in the suburbs of Montreal. Presentation is the hip new traditional way with copper bowls, plates and serving dishes. The four skewer family meal was fairly large and tasted good. The. Chenjeh was a bit tougher than I would've liked, but overall the quality was good and the The special came with your choice of soup or salad, and a fairly large side of hummus. Easily enough for two, if not three people. The service was very polite, but I would say they were under staffed with two waiters and one bus boy for more than 10 tables.

Our family was on a 5 day trip to Montreal and we came here twice, the food was amazing and the service was exceptional The quality of the meat was so good. Highly recommend this place is you are looking for amazing Persian food.

5 stars is an insult to this fabulous place. Food was absolutely amazing. Their Barg kebab is even better than Raffi in CA, which is arguably known to be the best in the US. The kal-kabab and zeytoon-parvardeh were among the best I have ever tried. Music was upbeat, the restaurant is nicely nicely decorated, and staff were polite and attentive. My only recommendation to management is thinking about turning their business into a chain, and opening other branches in large cities in North America.

Just finished dinner here while visiting Montréal. I wish I had taken pictures but was too excited & greedy A very cozy place, really relaxed but attentive service! Tried the lamb shank with bhaghali polo & two platters of their different kababs. The food here is phenomenal! Tender meat, the rice was so flavorful & we loved the simple but very fresh house salad. I wish I had a fridge to take my leftovers home the portions are so generous! Prices are great. Shout out to Parsa & Amir our servers they were hilarious Had a blast here can't wait to visit & eat here again!

Excellent Persian food.. must try! The lentil soup and koobideh's are to die for. Gracious and accommodating host as well.

Great service and good food if we go back to Montreal will definitely eat there again

This is the place to go for high quality Persian food and outstanding kabobs, especially the barg. Came with my Persian in-laws and they raved. In fact, we ate here Saturday. Then returned on Monday, it was that good. Has parking in front of restaurant. Interior is cute and quaint.

Simply amazing Persian/Iranian food in a beautiful setting. Restaurant is clean and well decorated and the food is UHmazzzzing. From the Mirza Ghasemi Eggplant dip, to the Barg Kabob, the Chicken Kabob, to the Kabob Torsh -- everything tasted fresh, moist and delicious. Great large portions! Will positively return to this wonderful restaurant. The service was most cordial and professional. Wish they had better dessert options ... maybe in the future. Thanks for a MOST marvelous gastronomic experience

Nice classic Persian food. Really good tea. Timely service and reasonable price. Attached is a picture of my dad's reaction to sipping the tea.

This place is very popular with high ratings. We were thinking about trying it for such a long time. It was our first time today. I wish we started off with a great first impression. We made a reservation, showed up a little late, 3 little kiddos :) apparently they gave our table away. It happens, I would understand it. I am assuming the owner told us, 10min wait. We were waiting outside for at least 20mins. Then we went in to wait in the hallway. He came and told us 15 more minutes of wait time. He said other guests were ordering more dessert. I told him he said the same thing 20 minutes ago, then he became very aggressive, at which point I was shocked. My daughter really wanted to try the kababs, that is why I swallowed all the comments and waited. We eventually sit outside, which I wouldn't prefer because of mosquitoes, We ordered the food and waited for a very long time again. Maybe today wasn't our day, we should go somewhere else. Food came in, protein size is relatively small compared to pictures. A lot of rice though. It is juicy. We ordered baklava too. 2 pieces came. In terms of hospitality I will never go back. You can eat food everywhere but having a nice time is very important for me. I want to enjoy, not just feed myself. After all of these, they offered the baklava on the house. I don't mind paying my own food, though I don't think this would do it. Good luck to this place, I hope they could improve their people's skills.

Bread was not fresh, quality of rice was not good, Jojeh Kebab was not sour and staff didn't bring Lime, I asked them bring fresh union but they didn't. Also, Tahdig made by bread not by rice and was cold. Staff should be trained and at least one time ask is everything ok? But didn't.

The food was delicious and the service was great. Their lentil soup was so tasty and the decor was and felt authentic. Very good Persian food
