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.
The atmosphere was very pleasant & comfortable for dining. The staff were very polite & professional. The food tasted great, & it was clear that high quality ingredients were used.
We tried this place during our Montreal trip & absolutely loved it! We ordered the pizza sandwich & the spicy bomb pizza, & both were generously topped with ingredients & packed with flavor. The cheese pull was unreal so satisfying! The service was great as well; friendly & welcoming. Highly recommended!!!!
The ratings you see are 100% true & very well deserved!
The food was delicious & the service was great, but I want to talk about a special experience.
We were heading there for an ordinary dinner with no special plans in mind. On the way, I realized that it was one of my friend's birthdays that same day.
When we arrived & ordered our food, I secretly asked our lovely waitress if there was anything they could do to surprise our friend.
'Leave it to me, you won't be disappointed,' she said.
True to her word, about half an hour later, while we were enjoying our dinner, they prepared a wonderful small birthday surprise for our friend.
They helped us create a simple but very memorable celebration, one we will remember for a long time.
Excellent service & delicious pizza. The dipping sauce that came with the pizza was really good as well. I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu!

It took me back home. Loved everything we ordered here, roast beef pizza & sandwich are both super delicious. If you are looking for something heavier & mixed I absolutely recommend the bomb cheese sausage sandwich. Delicious food, reasonably priced, & the portion is more than sufficient.
Very nice & warm staff.
I took my food to go all the time, but you can dine in. The place is cosy, clean.
