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 honestly has some of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. The food was fresh, tasty, & the sandwiches were amazing.

The staff were super kind & welcoming, & the place has a great vibe, especially if you want to watch the World Cup while eating. Big shoutout to Bob, who made us feel very welcome & even joked that if we didn't like the sandwiches, it would be on him. 😅 Thankfully for Bob, the sandwiches were too good, so he didn't have to pay!💀😂

Great food, great service, & a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

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 💚🤍♥?

I Tried Hailar & I honestly loved this place.
If you're looking for a good Persian-style pizza spot in Montreal, this is definitely worth trying. The pizza was fresh, flavorful, cheesy, & made perfectly. You can really taste the quality in every bite.

The vibe is casual & cozy, the staff were super friendly, & everything came out fresh & fast. Definitely one of those comfort food spots you'll want to go back to again.
