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.
I highly recommend Chez Hailar! Their pizzas & hot sandwiches/subs are awesome! The ingredient combinations are perfectly balanced & full of flavor. 🔥 The salads are always fresh, & sauces are absolutely delicious. It's definitely a go-to spot for great pizza in downtown Montreal!
This place is amazing! The pizza is always fresh, with a perfect crust & really tasty toppings. You can tell they care about quality. The service is friendly & fast too. Definitely one of my favorite spots!
Great taste of Iranian pizza & sandwiches with excellent quality. Excellent & fast service. Thank you to Sarah who served us very professionally & kindly.
We had such a wonderful experience at Hailar in Montreal! We went as a large group of about 15-20 people, & they absolutely nailed it! The food was delicious-we tried both pizza & sandwiches, & everything was fresh & flavorful. Despite our large group, the service was fast, & the staff was super friendly. They even surprised us with complimentary fries & salad, plus they made our little one's day by bringing orange juice & ice cream-on the house! It's a welcoming, family-friendly spot with great vibes. We'll definitely be back!

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!
