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.

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.

We came to Montreal from Toronto & had an amazing experience at Hailar Pizza! It was such a pleasant surprise to find such delicious Iranian-style pizza here. The crust was crispy, the toppings were generous, & everything tasted super fresh & full of flavor.

The staff were incredibly friendly & welcoming, & they made us feel right at home. The atmosphere was warm & cozy - a perfect place to sit down, relax, & enjoy a great meal.

It was truly one of the highlights of our visit to Montreal. We'll definitely come back next time we're in town. Highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience at this pizzeria! The pizza bread was absolutely fascinating - you can tell they go above & beyond with their quality & craft. What really stood out was their hospitality. There was a small mistake on my bill, & when I went back to pay the difference, they kindly refused & said,'Be our guest.' That level of generosity & kindness is rare these days. Highly recommend this place - not just for the great food, but for the wonderful people behind it.

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!
