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.

Pizza & sandwichs incroyables, avec un goût qui rappelle la street food iranienne 😍
Une équipe jeune, cool & pleine d'énergie - franchement, ils déchirent !
Amazing pizza & sandwiches, with a taste that brings back Iranian street food 😍
The team is young, cool, & full of energy - they're awesome!
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!
Chez Hailar is a fantastic spot in Montréal! The food is fresh & flavorful, & the service is warm & attentive. From their pizzas to sandwiches & desserts, everything is well-prepared & satisfying. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Persian cuisine with great value.

I had such a wonderful experience at Chez Hailar! The sandwiches are absolutely delicious-full of flavor & beautifully presented.
