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.

Tried the Hailar Special pizza & it was really good! Loaded with toppings, lots of melted cheese, & the fries on top made it even better. Great flavor & a fun combo. Definitely worth trying!

This was the best pizza (Persian-style) I've had in a while. Very flavorful, with a great balance of toppings & taste.
We tried a variety of pizzas & all of them were great. Everything felt fresh & well made, & you can tell they know what they're doing.
I'll definitely come back on my next visit to Montreal.

I had such a lovely experience here, & I just have to highlight the amazing service I received from Elahe. From the moment I arrived, she was incredibly warm, sweet, & professional. Since it was my first time, she took the time to walk me through the menu.
What truly stood out was her kindness - she noticed my sandwich might not be enough & kindly offered me free fries. That level of attentiveness & generosity is rare & made my visit feel extra special.
Elahe genuinely made my day! I'll definitely be coming back - not just for the food, but for the exceptional service!
