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 love this place. Whenever we are in Montreal we come to this place for the amazing food! I definitely recommend this place if you are craving Persian style pizzas & sandwiches.
I had such a wonderful experience at Chez Hailar! The sandwiches are absolutely delicious-full of flavor & beautifully presented. The service was excellent: friendly, attentive, & made us feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for amazing sandwiches & pizza in a warm, inviting atmosphere. Even though I live far away, I still come downtown just for Hailar-it's that good!
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.
One of the best pizza sandwich restaurants in Montreal 😋
The food has a Persian style & taste & it is so delicious & high quality. Especially roast beef pizza, roast beef sandwich, & Bandari sandwich are really great!
The owner is so hospitable & friendly.
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
Chez Hailer is a Persian fast food spot in Montreal that serves a wide variety of Persian-style pizzas along with hot & cold sandwiches. They're currently renovating the downstairs, but you can sit upstairs where Persian music fills the space & gives it a cozy, home-like vibe. The décor upstairs feels different from downstairs, & there's no reception at the moment because of the renovations.
The food quality was great - fresh, flavorful, & delicious. One thing I really liked is that you can order sandwiches in either 7-inch or 14-inch sizes. The pizza crust is super thin, which makes it light & easy to enjoy. Totally recommend!
I had an amazing experience at Chez Hailar! The taste was absolutely incredible. The pizza was cooked well. It is thin crust & had that satisfying crunch, while the sauce was just amazing. Thanks to Romina for making it special for us as well.

Had lunch here & it was amazing. I had a pizza with Persian sausage & others on my table had different types of sandwiches. Every single order was delicious. On top of it all, Romina's service was so attentive & kind & the space was clean with a nice ambiance.
This is a little fantastic gem on sherbrooke street in montreal. Great sandwiches, excellent pizzas, delicious salads. We had the roast beef sandwich, sausage sandwich, & a bandari sandwich, we also had a supreme pizza & a sausage pizza. All the flavors were sublime. In the sandwich the hint of parsley was exquisite!
Romina our server was pleasant & very informed. We will surely return & we highly recommend a visit.
Great food, really tasty. The service was great. We ordered a roasted beef sandwich & pizza special, really good, but the pizza was a bit expensive compared to the size

If you're looking for a high-quality, delicious pizza, you have to try Hilar. The cheese was stretchy, the sauce had an amazing flavor, & everything was perfectly balanced. A truly different pizza experience!
