Review Summary

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 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!

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!

I tried the 14" Hot Hailar Roast Beef Sandwich. The beef was tender & flavorful, perfectly complemented by the fresh, crunchy bread. The parsley & the sauce added a unique twist, making each bite delightful. The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with friendly & attentive staff providing excellent service.

Last day on vacation from Florida. We had the special pizza & roast beef sandwich. Food was fresh & tasty. Definitely would recommend. Staff was nice & friendly.

Ordered for delivery, & food was still fresh & hot & not soggy. Got the mini Hailar special pizza, & it was quite mini (7"). Tasted good 😋, thin crust, not too salty the ingredients but I find it lack flavors overall (8.5/10). Got the 14" Hot Bomb Cheese Sandwich & WOW, worth the price of this huge sandwich. Tasted delicious, fresh ingredients, good flavors, & will fill your tummy 😋 (9/10) !! The only con, there's too much of their Hailar special sauce. Taste good, but it will drip all over you. Overall, I'll recommend this place to everyone & be prepared to share your food because you'll get huge portions for the money !!

Chez Hailar offers a fantastic dining experience with delicious pizzas & sandwiches made from fresh ingredients. The crispy persian pizza crust & flavorful toppings were a delight, & the roast beef sandwiche were generously filled. The standout, however, was their exceptionally delicious tea, rich & aromatic with saffron Nabat😋.The cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot for a casual meal. Highly recommended!"

Hailar special pizza is excellent, the crust & "special sauce" are to die for. Baklava is also excellent, served hot & fresh. Staff is friendly & accommodating.

The pizza here is nothing short of perfection. The crust is the ideal combination of crispy & chewy, & the sauce is bursting with flavor. I tried their special pizza, & the freshness of the ingredients & mozzarella was a real treat for the taste buds. It's evident that they use high-quality ingredients. Not only was the pizza outstanding, but the service was top-notch as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, & quick to accommodate our requests. The ambiance was cozy & welcoming, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family & friends. I also appreciated the variety of options on their menu. They have something for everyone, from classic choices to unique & creative toppings. The prices are reasonable for the quality & portion sizes. In summary, chez hailar is a true gem for pizza lovers. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for a taste of their delicious creations. I can't wait to return & explore more of their menu. This pizzeria has certainly earned its place as one of my favorites in town.
