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.
The food at Chez Hailar is always delicious & fresh, especially the pizza. The atmosphere is great, very clean, & has good vibes. The staff are super nice & always there when you need help or have questions. Definitely recommend & will be coming back. I'm so happy with the service!

We recently tried the roast beef sandwich & the roast beef pizza at Hailar, & both were absolutely delicious.
The sandwich was perfectly prepared - tender, flavorful roast beef with fresh ingredients & a well-balanced taste. The pizza was just as impressive, with a rich topping of juicy roast beef & a great crust that brought everything together beautifully.
On était une coupe d'amis peu accoutumés à cette cuisine & on voulait découvrir. On a pris de la pizza & des sous-marins comme mets principaux, mais aussi des frites au truffe en accompagnement ainsi que des boissons de malt aux fruits variées. Tout était très bon! Belle ambiance chaleureuse à l'intérieur. & bon service!
On était initialement confu par l'entrée; il n'y avait personne & l'espace semblait plutôt adapté pour du à-emporter. Mais un escalier mène à un étage supérieur où se trouve la salle à manger.
One of our favourite places in Montreal & my partner says that it is the best pizza that she has had since leaving Tehran - giving this full points for authenticity. Staff are very kind & welcoming, allowing this to be an all-round pleasent experience.
We where there last night, we ordered 2full sandwiches & 2 half
When we received our orders, we saw instead of 2 full sandwiches, they brought us 2 pizzas!
While when the server repeated our orders, she said pizzas but I said no Sandwiches!!!
When we saw the pizzas we accepted one & returned one!
Because we decided to prevent food waste, while we ordered sandwiches in return!
When we received our bills we saw the price of pizza is there which is more expensive compared to the sandwich!
The thing I expected was, because of serving mistake, we had the price of sandwich which we had ordered from very beginning!
Additionally, we didn't receive any suggestions for not paying the tip!!
The difference between the price of pizza & sandwich isn't matter but I really disappointed about the customer service!

I loved it! The roast beef pizza tasted amazing & unique, & the sauces that came along with it were chef's kiss. The $10 deal (mini-pizza + fries) is a steal!
We have tried pizza , dolma & Persian saffron tea Pizza was very good & good quantity as well
Persian tea was refreshing
Dolma -we don't like it personally as the taste is like sour & bitte

I've visited this restaurant multiple times & always return because I love it. They serve Persian-style thin-crust pizza that's incredibly delicious. The thin crust allows you to enjoy the full variety of toppings without feeling too heavy.
On weekdays from 1 to 5 PM, they offer a great deal: a mini pizza or a sandwich with fries for just $10. This is a good option for students & anyone working around. I also have more reviews & tips😉 fatimadiaryy
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.

I must say, it was my first time trying persian pizza & it was actually delicious, savory & full of flavors. I had the pleasure to be served by the owner him self Bob, he was a thorough gentleman & served us really well. HIGHLY recommended if you want a persian twist for fast food!! 🇮🇷
Hailar has super delicious pizza! The taste is just like Iranian pizza, & it really feels like home. Honestly, it's the best place in Montreal for Iranian style pizza. I really recommend it!😍
