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.

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.

Really not what I expected, this isn't anywhere close to a traditional pizza.

Taste is good, they put the right amount of toppings. Dosent have a tomato sauce like I would expect but still good & flavorful. More of cafeteria style pizza from a highschool, you can tell the dough isn't fresh & pre made to a perfect circle & size probably bought as is.

This really isn't my style, I give it a 4.0/10 that's a review

We had a great experience at Chez Hailar! The ice cream was delicious-we ordered the saffron flavor, & it was amazing. The sandwiches were also excellent, especially the Bandari & the sausage sandwich. Everything was fresh & full of flavor. We'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place!

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 💚🤍♥?

Pizza has to stretch…
It has to be hot…
It has to be thick & loaded with toppings…
& every bite should hit just right-you should feel the flavor under your teeth.

That's exactly my kind of pizza, & honestly, this is the only place where I've truly experienced it. 🍕🔥
