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.

This place never disappoints. The flavors are rich & authentic, & every dish we tried was packed with taste & cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, & the quality is consistently top-notch.

J'y suis allée avec mes amis. J'adore leurs pizzas & leur sauce blanche. Mais ce que j'ai le plus apprécié, c'est la gentillesse du personnel.

I particularly enjoyed the'Spicy Bomb' pizza based on the Chef's recommendation. However, I was disappointed to see'Bomb' used in abundance on the menu considering the situation going on in Iran. I don't want to take away anything from the workers who maintained a good attitude with me, they were great & I was happily served beyond expectation despite an obvious concern for the conflict going on back home. I hope that the ownership group can make ammendments to the menu out of respect to their workers, their friends & family back home. We are a country of reform & respect, & we should not treat our new friends like this.

That being said, do yourself a favour & stop by for the happy hour special between 2 & 5pm for a bambino sized pie & French fry for something like $11.
