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.
The vibe in this restaurant is amazing! My friend & I chose the roast beef pizza which had lots of flavor. It made me also try the roast beef sandwich! We got welcomed by Romi & she was very helpful with choosing meals! Thanks a lot!♥? best persian pizza & sandwich i've tried 👍👍
One of the best pizza sandwich restaurants in Montreal 😋
The food has a Persian style & taste & it is so delicious & high quality. Especially roast beef pizza, roast beef sandwich, & Bandari sandwich are really great!
The owner is so hospitable & friendly.
This is a little fantastic gem on sherbrooke street in montreal. Great sandwiches, excellent pizzas, delicious salads. We had the roast beef sandwich, sausage sandwich, & a bandari sandwich, we also had a supreme pizza & a sausage pizza. All the flavors were sublime. In the sandwich the hint of parsley was exquisite!
Romina our server was pleasant & very informed. We will surely return & we highly recommend a visit.

Great food, really tasty. The service was great. We ordered a roasted beef sandwich & pizza special, really good, but the pizza was a bit expensive compared to the size
I tried the roast beef sandwich & I absolutely loved it😋.The meat was juicy & full of flavor, the bread was fresh, & the portion size was just perfect. It's definitely one of the best roast beef sandwiches I have had in Montreal. Highly recommend👌🏻
The food was hot, fresh, & full of flavor! I especially loved the roasted beef sandwich - it was absolutely delicious & definitely my favorite. The staff were super friendly & genuine, & everything they recommended turned out to be really tasty.
I also noticed how hardworking they were - constantly cleaning & keeping the place neat, which made the experience even better. The prices were very reasonable too.
If you're not sure where to eat, I'd 100% recommend this place. Plus, they're open late - perfect for a late-night bite!

I was really missing Iranian-style pizza, so I decided to try Hailar - & it did not disappoint! Everything was excellent. The roast beef pizza & fries were absolutely delicious. But what made the experience even more special was the warm hospitality, friendliness, & professionalism of Romina. She truly made me feel welcome. I'll definitely be coming back!
I highly recommend the beef sandwich - it was incredibly delicious, with tender meat & rich flavors packed into every bite & also crispy pizza. The tea had a wonderfully smooth taste that paired perfectly with the baklava, which was just the right balance of sweet & flaky. A delightful combo worth trying!
top #1 dessert in montreal, the strawberry chocolate cream. apart from dessert, the roasted beef sandwich & spicy bomb pizza are insane. the taste is authentic & reminds of my childhood from iran.

My favorite spot in Montreal!
The roast beef pizza is so delicious 🤩 Their special sauce, along with the crispy dough & a generous amount of toppings is unlike anything I've ever had! Chez Hailar delivers great value, friendly staff that offer the best service, & the most flavorful fresh dishes in town.
& a great bonus is the location: just a few minutes away from Concordia University!
You always know what you're getting, & it's always perfect!
A must try!!!!
Delicious & serves the best pizza in Montreal.
Seriously one of the best restaurants in downtown montreal. The roast beef pizza is fantastic, & the hailar sauce just makes everything better.
Service is friendly & quick, & the value is great.
I went when it was totally empty because it's Ramadan but the atmosphere is relaxed. The place looks like a fancy coffee shop. The food is a bit expensive (what isn't nowadays lol) but I think it's totally worth to try at least once. I got the roast beef & hot cheese bomb sandwiches 🤤
Sadly the only thing is that it's not very accessible; you gotta climb two flights of stairs. If you're able-bodied definitely check this place out; you won't regret it.
We were there for my husband's birthday, & Chez Hailar made a memorable memory for all of us! The cozy atmosphere & friendly service made the night special.The Bomb Roast Beef Pizza was incredible! We also ordered the Majoon & the Dubai chocolate dessert-both were absolutely delicious. A huge thank you to dear Romina for the amazing service!
