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.
Excellent service, personnel au petit soin avec les clients, nourritures succulentes, tres bonne ambiance
Leur pizza est à tomber par terre
Je recommande
I particularly enjoyed the'Spicy Bomb' pizza based on the Chef's recommendation. However, I was disappointed to see'Bomb' used in abundance on the menu considering the situation going on in Iran. I don't want to take away anything from the workers who maintained a good attitude with me, they were great & I was happily served beyond expectation despite an obvious concern for the conflict going on back home. I hope that the ownership group can make ammendments to the menu out of respect to their workers, their friends & family back home. We are a country of reform & respect, & we should not treat our new friends like this.
That being said, do yourself a favour & stop by for the happy hour special between 2 & 5pm for a bambino sized pie & French fry for something like $11.
First time here, not my last. The Roast Beef Bomb pizza was excellent. Amir was a fantastic host. His recommendation for dessert was excellent too. Rosewater & saffron ice cream, an interesting & delicious combination.

Good tasty sandwiches! Full of flavor & with big portions! They are also very friendly & fast
Update 2026: their menu gets better every year. Now they have this roast beef bomb pizza which is amazing!!
The pizza is very good & the ambience is very nice. It's a hidden gem in the heart of Montreal. I would suggest trying their special sauce. Great place!
Hailar is one of my favourite pizza places & I appreciate it all the Persian I like to have Persian atmosphere song & everything & the food is just beautiful & great & I like the special sauce a lot so yeah keep up the good work Haila
Ce fut un vrai désastre... Une pizza à emporter mais très petite pour un ticket hors de prix 😱 elle n'était même pas bonne 😤 extrêmement déçue... En lisant les commentaires je me demande si j'ai mangé la même pizza que les autres..
I am deeply disappointed with my experience tonight. I ordered the 12' Roast Beef Spicy Bomb with specific requests to make it less spicy & to include extra sauce. None of these instructions were respected.
To make matters worse, the quality was completely off: the thin crust was burnt to a crisp, while the onions on the first layer were entirely raw. It is the first time I've encountered this level of poor quality here, & since the pizza was inedible, I had to throw the entire order away. I set the ingredients aside so that you see the raw onions. It just tasted like carbon & smelled of raw onion. . A total waste of time & money
I walked next to the shop they had advertisement for 10$ sandwish with fries all small pizza. He told me roast beef was the best sandwish didnt dissapoint. Good taste & very good service.
Great food, great drinks, great desserts. 10 inch pizzas for $10 from 1pm-5pm, fantastic deal. Staff is super nice & engaged in good politics. Decor & music is very soothing with nice view of city life. I will be coming here again.
