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. Many reviews highlight the restaurant's signature house sauce and a distinctive thyme powder that elevates several pizzas. Desserts and beverages such as saffron ice cream, pistachio shakes, and Dubai chocolate desserts are noted as delicious additions. Service is described as friendly, attentive, and often fast, with appreciation for consistent hospitality across visits, though a few mentions of occasional delays or online order mix-ups exist.

The food is absolutely delicious, especially the bread used for the pizza & sandwiches-crispy, smooth, & incredibly flavorful. You have to try it to truly appreciate the taste! The environment is lovely, & the staff are polite & attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable.

I came back there after 7 years & I really regret that I haven't try this restaurant during all these years. Sandwiches were absolutely delicious & the staff was really friendly. I definitely go back again this time way sooner than 7 years.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of visiting Chez Hailar with our family. We ordered 5 different kinds of pizza, 2 different sandwiches, & an appetizer. Every item was a hit. The pizzas were cooked so well, & packed with flavour. The sandwiches were equally flavourful. Overall, it was a such a wonderful experience & we can't wait to be back!
I've had the absolute best Persian-style pizza & sandwiches in Canada at Chez Hailar. The flavors are authentic & unmatched. If you're looking for a recommendation, don't miss the roast beef-it's a must-try!
This is a special place, it tries & successfully at that, to remain loyal in every aspect to Tehran's popular & middle class pizza places; it certainly has more familiar charm & reminiscence for the Iranian diaspora. Sandwiches are comparable to the best oven roasted subs out there, pizzas are a clear departure from the North American standard. As a late night joint in the heart of the downtown, it is one of the best places to satisfy your cravings & munchies. The price is very reasonable Parking, forget about it & the tea at the end... with the crystallized saffron sugar stick (nabat) & the rose bud... is the cherry on the top.
Great persian style pizzas, sandwiches & desserts (I highly recommend trying their majoon). The atmosphere is cozy & the employees are always very welcoming & helpful.
We tried both the beef & chicken sandwiches. They were absolutely amazing! The bread was fresh, & the flavors were perfectly balanced. The service was friendly & welcoming. Very good experience overall-we'll definitely be coming back!
