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.

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.

Friendly owner & attentive staff.
Good place to spend your cheat meal day on something ordinary, but made differently!
Their pizza menu is incredible, garnishes are generous & mouthwatering.
Shout outs to their special sauce which is quite simple, but goes well with almost everything.
Also recommend trying their Dubai chocolate pistachio cream strawberries as dessert!
If you're tired of basic pizza combos, this is the place to go.
Chez Hailar is a must-visit in Montreal! Their Persian-style pizzas & sandwiches are packed with flavor, made with fresh ingredients, & served in a beautifully decorated space. The service is warm & professional, making the experience even better. Whether you're craving a casual bite or a late-night meal, this spot delivers every time. Highly recommended!
I had an amazing experience at Hylar Restaurant! From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm & inviting, & the food was absolutely delicious-every dish was beautifully presented & packed with flavor.
A special shoutout to Romina, who made the evening even better with her exceptional service. She was attentive, friendly, & went above & beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Her recommendations were spot-on, & she made us feel truly welcomed.
We were looking for a place to eat & found this one that closed late. It was clean, the staff was very friendly & the cheese pizza was delicious. We will be back to try more of the menu.

Iranian restaurants are often chosen more for nostalgic flavors than for broad appeal. However, when we entered this one, we were warmly welcomed. Upstairs, a cozy & inviting ambiance awaited us. Their fries were good but fairly standard, yet their pizzas & sandwiches were truly exceptional. The toasted bread elevated the flavors even more. The hospitality was delightful-the staff checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed while still respecting our privacy. I highly recommend this place!

Les restaurants iraniens sont souvent choisis davantage pour leurs saveurs nostalgiques que pour leur attrait général. Cependant, dès notre arrivée, nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis. À l'étage, une ambiance cosy & accueillante nous attendait. Leurs frites étaient bonnes mais classiques, tandis que leurs pizzas & sandwiches étaient vraiment excellents. Le pain grillé sublimait encore plus les saveurs. L'hospitalité était agréable : le personnel veillait à ce que nous ne manquions de rien tout en respectant notre intimité. Je recommande vivement cet endroit !
It's a restaurant with a special something that you may not have tasted elsewhere. Forget what you've eaten or the flavors you know. At Hailar, it's the best of what I've tasted in Montreal. I can't stop eating their food.
It's the kind of cuisine that makes you curious to know what's going on in their kitchen & who their chef is.
Sandwich délicieux & super service! Nous avions oublié de spécifier une allergie & le proprio nous a rapidement amené un nouveau sandwich & nous a offert celui que nous n'avions pas mangé. Première fois pour nous ici mais on reviendra c'est certain.
