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.

Hailar is a gem! We always order on Uber Eats or pickup but 3 days ago I went to pick up a few of their Persian roast beef sandwiches for friends that were visiting & it was amazing - fresh ingredients, tons of flavor, & was perfect. The ambiance is lovely & cozy, great spot to sit & take your time. Plus they have the best fresh squeezed juice bar in the area. Huge shoutout to Sarah, our waitress - she was so attentive, warm, & made our whole experience better. Will definitely be back 💚🤍♥?

I absolutely love this place! If you're Iranian & feeling homesick, this Persian fast food spot is a must-visit. 🇮🇷🍕 & if you're not Iranian but want to try a different kind of pizza, you'll love their unique flavors 😋🍕 I'd definitely recommend the roast beef pizza & BOMB pizzas 💣 They also have havij bastani-carrot juice with ice cream- & Majoon; perfect nostalgic treats 🥕🍦 The owners are also incredibly warm & welcoming 🥰

I really wanted to love this place because Persian sandwiches can be amazing, but it was disappointing overall. The roast beef sandwich was overloaded with sauce to the point where it completely overpowered everything else, & the sausage quality tasted pretty cheap for the price. I was expecting fresher ingredients & more balanced flavors. The portions were decent, but the quality just didn't match the hype. Hoping they improve because the concept has a lot of potential.
