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. Value is seen as good for the quality, even if a few diners find some items pricey for portions, and many say they will return. Overall, it comes across as one of the best Persian fast food options in Montreal, delivering bold flavors, varied menu, and a welcoming, nostalgic vibe.
Chez hailar was truly impressed! The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. Every dish was made with care, & you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. The atmosphere is cozy & welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal.
The service was also fantastic-friendly. If you're looking for a great restaurant with delicious food & a warm vibe, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!
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.
This location was very affordable & the staff was super accommodating. The food was authentic Persian. The location is convenient & the establishment is aesthetically pleasing. I had the roast beef pizza & it was delicious!
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.
