Chez Hailar earns praise for authentic Persian fast food with flavorful pizzas and generous sandwiches, especially the roast beef and Bandari, all tied together by a distinctive house sauce. Desserts like saffron ice cream, faloodeh, and Majoon are highlighted, while portions are described as satisfying and ingredients are fresh. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with attentive service and a warm Persian vibe that makes guests feel at home, whether dining in or ordering takeout. A few notes mention price being a bit high for certain items and occasional hiccups such as renovations upstairs or delays with orders, but the overall impression is that this spot offers quality, flavor, and value for Iranian street food in downtown Montreal.
First time here, not my last. The Roast Beef Bomb pizza was excellent. Amir was a fantastic host. His recommendation for dessert was excellent too. Rosewater & saffron ice cream, an interesting & delicious combination.
Good tasty sandwiches! Full of flavor & with big portions! They are also very friendly & fast
Update 2026: their menu gets better every year. Now they have this roast beef bomb pizza which is amazing!!
The roast beef sandwich was so good & fresh! It was a good quantity to share for two people. The staff were kind & the atmosphere was great, would definitely come back!
I am deeply disappointed with my experience tonight. I ordered the 12' Roast Beef Spicy Bomb with specific requests to make it less spicy & to include extra sauce. None of these instructions were respected.
To make matters worse, the quality was completely off: the thin crust was burnt to a crisp, while the onions on the first layer were entirely raw. It is the first time I've encountered this level of poor quality here, & since the pizza was inedible, I had to throw the entire order away. I set the ingredients aside so that you see the raw onions. It just tasted like carbon & smelled of raw onion. . A total waste of time & money

I was at Hailar restaurant last night & I have to say the roast beef sandwich was delicious. I had saffron ice cream for dessert, & it was amazing. Ms. Elmira was also very friendly & welcoming

It took me back home. Loved everything we ordered here, roast beef pizza & sandwich are both super delicious. If you are looking for something heavier & mixed I absolutely recommend the bomb cheese sausage sandwich. Delicious food, reasonably priced, & the portion is more than sufficient.
Very nice & warm staff.
I took my food to go all the time, but you can dine in. The place is cosy, clean.
We recently tried the roast beef sandwich & the roast beef pizza at Hailar, & both were absolutely delicious.
The sandwich was perfectly prepared - tender, flavorful roast beef with fresh ingredients & a well-balanced taste. The pizza was just as impressive, with a rich topping of juicy roast beef & a great crust that brought everything together beautifully.
