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!
If you're craving authentic Persian fast food, Hailar is the place to go. Their hot sandwiches are super tasty & made with really good ingredients. The Bandari sandwich is my absolute favorite. Highly recommend!
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!
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.
I tried the roast beef sandwich & I absolutely loved it😋.The meat was juicy & full of flavor, the bread was fresh, & the portion size was just perfect. It's definitely one of the best roast beef sandwiches I have had in Montreal. Highly recommend👌🏻
I had the chance to try a variety of your pizzas & sandwiches, & they were all excellent,fresh, flavorful, & perfectly done. 👌🏻
Thank you for your kindness & generosity.🙏🏻
Wishing you guys continued success & all the best ! 👍🏻
Ordered on Uber eats the cheese pizza. One of the best cheese pulls I've ever seen, very soft crust, delicious. Not a huge fan of the sauce they give on the side though but I'm now definitely intrigued by the sandwiches, although the food is a bit expensive
If you're on the hunt for something unique & full of flavor in downtown Montreal, Chez Hailar is a must-visit. This cozy, casual spot has quickly gained a loyal following for its Iranian-style pizzas & sandwiches, offering a fresh twist on comfort food classics.
I went when it was totally empty because it's Ramadan but the atmosphere is relaxed. The place looks like a fancy coffee shop. The food is a bit expensive (what isn't nowadays lol) but I think it's totally worth to try at least once. I got the roast beef & hot cheese bomb sandwiches 🤤
Sadly the only thing is that it's not very accessible; you gotta climb two flights of stairs. If you're able-bodied definitely check this place out; you won't regret it.
