About

Chez Hailar serves an authentic array of Iranian culinary traditions centered on aromatic saffron-infused basmati rice and expertly grilled skewers. The menu features signature kabobs seasoned with vibrant spices alongside slow-cooked stews that highlight the depth of Persian flavor profiles. Patrons encounter a specialized selection of traditional appetizers such as mast-o-khiar and robust vegetable-based dishes prepared according to halal requirements. This establishment integrates the relaxed atmosphere of a café with the foundational elements of Iranian hospitality, providing a focused environment for those seeking traditional skewers and hearty comfort plates. Every component, from the marinated proteins to the freshly baked flatbreads, follows time-honored preparation methods to maintain ingredient integrity. The setting remains functional and direct, emphasizing the consistency of the flavors rather than decorative flourish for a straightforward culinary encounter.

One of the best choices for Persian-style pizza in Montreal!The taste really reminded me of the pizzas back in Iran.
We ordered the Roast Beef Bomb, which has a little spicy kick to it, & we absolutely loved it. The flavor was amazing & definitely brought back some memories!
I also highly recommend trying the traditional Persian saffron ice cream for dessert.

I have been ordering & getting take out from Hailar many times & I really liked their food but this time, I was really disappointed! I paid around 32$ only for a sandwich & coke. The sandwich didn't have the same taste & quality as before. My stomach was hurting all night & I wont be buying from here anymore. Yes the packaging has got so much better but the price for what you get is ridiculous.

Edit: I'm changing my review to 5 stars because the team personally contacted me & made sure to resolve the issue. Their customer service was excellent. As soon as they realized I hadn't had a good experience, they reached out immediately & genuinely tried to make things right.

They generously offered me the option of either dining in or getting takeout, based on my preference, & made sure I was satisfied with the outcome. I really appreciate how professionally & thoughtfully they handled the situation.
