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.

Amazing sandwiches, we tried the roast beef one ! It was our first time trying Persian food, & we loved it. The Faloodeh with pomegranate was so refreshing & unique. We'll definitely be back!

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 💚🤍♥?

Absolutely loved this pizza place! 🍕 Their mini pizza was my favorite - perfectly cooked, full of flavor, & made even better with their homemade base sauce, which tasted fresh & unique. You can really tell they put care into their ingredients. The atmosphere was warm & welcoming, & the staff were very friendly. Also, don't miss their Persian desserts - they were delicious & definitely worth trying after the meal. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great pizza & a different, authentic taste experience!
