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.
We recently tried the roast beef sandwich & the roast beef pizza at Hailar, & both were absolutely delicious.
The sandwich was perfectly prepared - tender, flavorful roast beef with fresh ingredients & a well-balanced taste. The pizza was just as impressive, with a rich topping of juicy roast beef & a great crust that brought everything together beautifully.

Hailar currently has very good management. The quality of their food has improved a lot compared to three years ago. Both the taste & quality of the dishes are excellent. I recommend you try it. I also want to thank them for their hospitality & their attention to the quality of the food. Everything was excellent.
Besides the great quality of the food & the excellent attitude of the whole team, another very positive point is their support for the Iranian community.
Thank you 🙏🏻.
La goût & la qualité des plats sont vraiment excellents. Je tiens à les remercier pour leur accueil & leur attention à la qualité des plats.
Tout était parfait.
En plus de la qualité des plats & de l'excellente attitude de toute l'équipe, un autre point très positif est leur soutien à la communauté iranienne.
On était une coupe d'amis peu accoutumés à cette cuisine & on voulait découvrir. On a pris de la pizza & des sous-marins comme mets principaux, mais aussi des frites au truffe en accompagnement ainsi que des boissons de malt aux fruits variées. Tout était très bon! Belle ambiance chaleureuse à l'intérieur. & bon service!
On était initialement confu par l'entrée; il n'y avait personne & l'espace semblait plutôt adapté pour du à-emporter. Mais un escalier mène à un étage supérieur où se trouve la salle à manger.
One of our favourite places in Montreal & my partner says that it is the best pizza that she has had since leaving Tehran - giving this full points for authenticity. Staff are very kind & welcoming, allowing this to be an all-round pleasent experience.
We ordered takeout tonight & everything was great. The food was very good & was prepared quickly. Our waitress, Romina, was excellent & very friendly. Thank you for the great service. We'll order again!
We where there last night, we ordered 2full sandwiches & 2 half
When we received our orders, we saw instead of 2 full sandwiches, they brought us 2 pizzas!
While when the server repeated our orders, she said pizzas but I said no Sandwiches!!!
When we saw the pizzas we accepted one & returned one!
Because we decided to prevent food waste, while we ordered sandwiches in return!
When we received our bills we saw the price of pizza is there which is more expensive compared to the sandwich!
The thing I expected was, because of serving mistake, we had the price of sandwich which we had ordered from very beginning!
Additionally, we didn't receive any suggestions for not paying the tip!!
The difference between the price of pizza & sandwich isn't matter but I really disappointed about the customer service!
