Reviews describe Chez Hailar as a cozy, welcoming spot serving authentic Persian fast food with standout pizzas and sandwiches. The atmosphere is warm and homey, the upstairs dining area is particularly praised while the downstairs is undergoing renovations. The quality of food and ingredients is repeatedly praised, with favorites including roast beef sandwich and roast beef pizza, bandari sandwich, and a variety of Persian style pizzas. Many reviews highlight the restaurant's signature house sauce and a distinctive thyme powder that elevates several pizzas. Desserts and beverages such as saffron ice cream, pistachio shakes, and Dubai chocolate desserts are noted as delicious additions. Service is described as friendly, attentive, and often fast, with appreciation for consistent hospitality across visits, though a few mentions of occasional delays or online order mix-ups exist. Value is seen as good for the quality, even if a few diners find some items pricey for portions, and many say they will return. Overall, it comes across as one of the best Persian fast food options in Montreal, delivering bold flavors, varied menu, and a welcoming, nostalgic vibe.
It is our regular hangout, whether we come in person or order. The quality is excellent & high, the ethics of all the people in this restaurant are excellent, the atmosphere is very cozy & warm. Their prices are great. If you want to experience the taste of Iranian fast food, you should try Hailar.
Because of their support for the Iranian revolution, the massacre in Shadegan, & the'beautiful work' they did-along with the photos of Iran's martyrs-they will always be supported.
Pizza & sandwichs incroyables, avec un goût qui rappelle la street food iranienne 😍
Une équipe jeune, cool & pleine d'énergie - franchement, ils déchirent !
Amazing pizza & sandwiches, with a taste that brings back Iranian street food 😍
The team is young, cool, & full of energy - they're awesome!
Hailar currently has very good management. The quality of their food has improved a lot compared to three years ago. Both the taste & quality of the dishes are excellent. I recommend you try it. I also want to thank them for their hospitality & their attention to the quality of the food. Everything was excellent.
Besides the great quality of the food & the excellent attitude of the whole team, another very positive point is their support for the Iranian community.
Thank you 🙏🏻.
La goût & la qualité des plats sont vraiment excellents. Je tiens à les remercier pour leur accueil & leur attention à la qualité des plats.
Tout était parfait.
En plus de la qualité des plats & de l'excellente attitude de toute l'équipe, un autre point très positif est leur soutien à la communauté iranienne.
If you want to have a good experience of Iranian fast food, chez Hailar is one of the best ones. It's different from other types of fast foods, but definitely delicious & worth trying.
Great Iranian fast food with amazing service! The food was fresh, tasty, & served quickly. The staff were very polite & made the whole experience enjoyable. Definitely recommend!
We tried Chez Hailar for the first time & absolutely loved it! We ordered the Pizza Spécial Hailar & a roast beef sandwich, both were incredibly tasty, especially with their unique special sauce that really brings out the flavors.
The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality & taste make it worth it. If you're looking for authentic Iranian-inspired dishes or just want to try something delicious & different, we definitely recommend giving Chez Hailar a try!
The food is really good. Their Iranian style pizza is A1 & that house sauce of theirs is incredible. The restaurant has a nice & cozy feel to it & the service good & friendly.

A hidden downtown gem with unique tasting persian pizza. The place has two floors & the first one was under renovation, glad we ventured upstairs. The place is quirky looks more like an evening resto than a lunch place. Iranian beverages are definitely worth trying.
They have a wide variaty of items & their pizza resembles iranian style of pizza back in 2000s which is now almost extinct in Iran itself. Service was pretty slow & I think they are understaffed but are willing to keep the customer waiting instead of hiring an extra
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!
