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.

A hidden downtown gem with unique tasting persian pizza. The place has two floors & the first one was under renovation, glad we ventured upstairs. The place is quirky looks more like an evening resto than a lunch place. Iranian beverages are definitely worth trying.

They have a wide variaty of items & their pizza resembles iranian style of pizza back in 2000s which is now almost extinct in Iran itself. Service was pretty slow & I think they are understaffed but are willing to keep the customer waiting instead of hiring an extra
