About

Chez Hailar serves an authentic array of Iranian culinary traditions centered on aromatic saffron-infused basmati rice and expertly grilled skewers. The menu features signature kabobs seasoned with vibrant spices alongside slow-cooked stews that highlight the depth of Persian flavor profiles. Patrons encounter a specialized selection of traditional appetizers such as mast-o-khiar and robust vegetable-based dishes prepared according to halal requirements. This establishment integrates the relaxed atmosphere of a café with the foundational elements of Iranian hospitality, providing a focused environment for those seeking traditional skewers and hearty comfort plates. Every component, from the marinated proteins to the freshly baked flatbreads, follows time-honored preparation methods to maintain ingredient integrity. The setting remains functional and direct, emphasizing the consistency of the flavors rather than decorative flourish for a straightforward culinary encounter.

Chez Hailar is widely celebrated as a premier destination in Montreal for authentic Persian fast food, particularly noted for its flavorful and nostalgic thin crust pizzas and hearty, high quality roast beef sandwiches. Many patrons highlight the unique, delicious house sauce and fresh ingredients as standout features that keep them returning, often comparing the taste to classic eateries found in Iran. Beyond the food, the restaurant is frequently praised for its cozy, welcoming atmosphere and an exceptionally friendly, professional team that goes out of its way to provide attentive service.

Hailar honestly has some of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. The food was fresh, tasty, & the sandwiches were amazing.

The staff were super kind & welcoming, & the place has a great vibe, especially if you want to watch the World Cup while eating. Big shoutout to Bob, who made us feel very welcome & even joked that if we didn't like the sandwiches, it would be on him. 😅 Thankfully for Bob, the sandwiches were too good, so he didn't have to pay!💀😂

Great food, great service, & a fun atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

We had a great experience at Chez Hailar! The ice cream was delicious-we ordered the saffron flavor, & it was amazing. The sandwiches were also excellent, especially the Bandari & the sausage sandwich. Everything was fresh & full of flavor. We'll definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place!

Tonight, I visited this restaurant with two of my closest friends, & once again, it was a great experience. The food was excellent as always, but what really made our visit special was the outstanding service from Sadaf. She was incredibly friendly, polite, attentive, & professional throughout our time there. Her positive attitude & genuine kindness made us feel very welcome & added so much to our evening. It's always a pleasure to be served by someone who clearly cares about customers. Thank you, Sadaf, for making our night even better. We will definitely be coming back & highly recommend this place to others!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
