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.
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!

Chez Hailar offers a fantastic dining experience with delicious pizzas & sandwiches made from fresh ingredients. The crispy persian pizza crust & flavorful toppings were a delight, & the roast beef sandwiche were generously filled. The standout, however, was their exceptionally delicious tea, rich & aromatic with saffron Nabat😋.The cozy ambiance makes it a perfect spot for a casual meal. Highly recommended!"

Their sandwiches are the best. If you are tourist or living in Montreal, I strongly recommend trying their hot roast beef & hot cheese BOMB sausage sandwiches. You will not get disappointed!
