Chez Hailar

Tonight we had an excellent experience at Hailar Pizza. The food was outstanding, and the Roast Beef Bomb pizza is an absolute must-try. We also tried the barberry drink. it was incredibly refreshing and brought back the exact flavor I remember from my childhood. The staff were warm, and welcoming, making us feel truly welcome from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was very calm and pleasant, adding to the overall experience. Highly recommended—don’t miss the chance to visit this restaurant.

I’ve visited this restaurant multiple times and always return because I love it. They serve Persian-style thin-crust pizza that’s incredibly delicious. The thin crust allows you to enjoy the full variety of toppings without feeling too heavy. On weekdays from 1 to 5 PM, they offer a great deal: a mini pizza or a sandwich with fries for just $10. This is a good option for students and anyone working around. I also have more reviews and tips😉 fatimadiaryy

The food at Chez Hailar is always delicious and fresh, especially the pizza. The atmosphere is great, very clean, and has good vibes. The staff are super nice and always there when you need help or have questions. Definitely recommend and will be coming back. I’m so happy with the service!

I am deeply disappointed with my experience tonight. I ordered the 12” Roast Beef Spicy Bomb with specific requests to make it less spicy and to include extra sauce. None of these instructions were respected. To make matters worse, the quality was completely off: the thin crust was burnt to a crisp, while the onions on the first layer were entirely raw. It is the first time I’ve encountered this level of poor quality here, and since the pizza was inedible, I had to throw the entire order away. I set the ingredients aside so that you see the raw onions. It just tasted like carbon and smelled of raw onion. . A total waste of time and money

What a little Gem. My sister and I had a great time! The food which is typical faat food style persian was amazing. And the traditional ice cream!!! Beats any other I have had!! Amazing!!!!

The vibe in this restaurant is amazing! My friend and I chose the roast beef pizza which had lots of flavor. It made me also try the roast beef sandwich! We got welcomed by Romi and she was very helpful with choosing meals! Thanks a lot!♥️ best persian pizza and sandwich i’ve tried 👍👍

Chez Hailer is a Persian fast food spot in Montreal that serves a wide variety of Persian-style pizzas along with hot and cold sandwiches. They’re currently renovating the downstairs, but you can sit upstairs where Persian music fills the space and gives it a cozy, home-like vibe. The décor upstairs feels different from downstairs, and there’s no reception at the moment because of the renovations. The food quality was great — fresh, flavorful, and delicious. One thing I really liked is that you can order sandwiches in either 7-inch or 14-inch sizes. The pizza crust is super thin, which makes it light and easy to enjoy. Totally recommend!

We had an incredible experience at Chef Hailar. The service was absolutely amazing, attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The food was simply incredible with every dish beautifully prepared and full of flavor. And the desserts…Wow! unforgettable. Hands down the best we’ve had for a while. We’ll definitely be back!

*Currently take-out only but have implemented great safety measure for take-out* At present, they have set up tables at their front door containing the menu, where you just ring the number to order. Love grabbing sandwiches or pizzas from here when I'm in the area. They have a large selection to choose from of unique Persian style sandwiches. I have tried a couple but my favourite has to be their Roast Beef (lots of fresh parsley yum) and their Pizza Sandwich - full of flavour and fresh ingredients. The meat is Halal and service is great. Items are wrapped very well so you can just grab and go. A must to try!

Great place with great food and great service! Be prepared to walk up a flight of stairs to the dining room which is on the small side but very nicely arranged. Our server was kind and patient. My only small complaint was that our food did take longer than expected especially since they weren't busy at all when we came in and then they forgot the jalapeños we requested be added on our pizza so it took longer to make the correction. But we had a nice meal and I'd recommend it!

Came here after flying all night from the west coast. My sister got roast beef pizza and a side of ruffles chip nachos. Weird but tasty. The tea service was super cute! They didn't have the green tea that I needed, but the Persian tea got me right! Overall it's a really laid back cute spot. Almost 4pm it was only us eating in, but a few people came to pick up orders.

Probably one of the BEST persian pizzas I've ever had! The place itself was super cute and cozy and service was great. We got a couple pizzas and the hot dog sandwich and everything was absolutely delicious! Highly highly recommend (:

Friendly ambiance. Tasty food. Efficient service. Diverse range of options on the menu. I am a new regular.

Very nice staff, this is a really cute place. I had the roast beef pizza, persian tea and persian nachos. I really liked the pizza, it reminded me of a roast beef sandwich. There are are call buttons on each table so you don't have to worry about waiting for your server to notice you. It sits on a busy street with a nice view for people watching.

Amazing food - try the spicy bomb pizza it was so good and thin and we tried it with the special sauce (garlicky) and ketchup and it made it even better! The service was really friendly and the ambiance is casual but cute!

The sandwiches and Persian pizza definitely remind me of Iran! The mortadella sandwich was so tasty! It had pistachios in it and the sauce they add is super good. The Persian pizza is incredible. Tastes just like pizza in Iran. Lots of toppings and a nice crust. I've ordered to-go from here a few times and 9 times out of 10 it's been correct. Overall great Persian food spot to hit up!

I definitely picked the wrong thing off the menu. I wanted to try the roast beef pizza but H chose the special pizza which he enjoyed. I got a salad that was really strange: a lot of lettuce, corn, olives, 4 skinny slices of tomato, pumpkin seeds and a small amount of sliced deli meat on top. It was slightly bigger than a side salad but definitely not a salad you would eat as a main course. After six hours in a car traveling to Montreal this was not my ideal first meal but it was close to our rental. The service was excellent and the server himself was extremely cordial. I would try this place again and pick better off the menu.

The pizza was perfectly spicy and tasty. The service was friendly and fast. The day we went, there was an epic snow storm and a lot of places were closed so we were happy to find this place.

I love the Iranian style pizza from Hailar. I always end up ordering their coldcut sandwiches and pizza every time I visit Montreal.

Great food, very nice service, good pricing and large portions. Had a great time, i definitely recommend the sandwiches!

The food is amazing and ambiance is quiet average but it was perfect. The pizza roast beef is soooooo good, and the sandwich lord it is soo delicious. The service was quick and easy. The owner is super friendly

Food was excellent best in town. First time eating Persian food. It did not disappoint.

Highly recommend! We just couldn't decide on food; so we used yelp and found this place. The pizza was really good!

The area around Guy Concordia is home to some of the best ethnic restaurants in the city. You can find a dozen cheap and delicious eats just a stone throw away from the school. I had no idea this place existed until very recently. Hailar is comprised of two floors: the first floor is dedicated exclusively for takeout orders. When you walk up the stairs to the second floor you're treated to a surprisingly luxe tea room dining area. Red velvet drapes add to the cozy and elegant interior. They have a relatively small menu that consists of options between hot sandwiches or pizza. I have yet to try the sandwiches but I've gotten the vegetarian pizza each time I've come. For around $10/12" pizza you'll definitely be getting your money's worth here. You can easily split this between two people and both be left feeling pretty full. The addition of potato sticks (weird ikr) give these pizzas a delicious, unexpected twist. To top it all off, the service is warm and friendly. Also, do yourself a favour and try their carrot cake. It's like eating a cake made by your mom. Definitely do give this place a try if you're in the area!

Restaurant looked completely different from outside. When we walked in we felt we were walking into somebody's home but in a good way. There was a family on the dining table who were enjoying the meal. We were welcome by two very nice people and they seated us. Decor looked fancy but the prices are decent. Food is delicious. Here are 5 reason why we will Absolutely go back when we visit again. 1. We ordered sandwiches and they were delicious. Parsley added great taste to the sandwiches. Bread was perfect for this type of sandwich. 2. We were not too hungry so we ordered one large sandwich which was good enough for two people. We ordered Tea and tea was as delicious. 3. Service was wonderful. They were super nice and accommodating. 4. All meats are halal 5. Their pizzas looked amazing on the menu and in pictures. We really wanted to go back to try it this trip but Montreal offered too many good restaurants and we didn't have a chance to go back. We will be definitely going back to try their pizza next time.

With all the positive reviews, I honestly expected more from this restaurant. We came here only to try their famous Persian style pizza, but surprisingly, they were out of pizza dough! This was just so unacceptable! We had a few choices from the menu. Their menu was completely different from the one they have on their website. The prices and the number of meals were different. We tried the shredded-beef special sandwich and the pizza sandwich. I loved them both. The shredded-beef sandwich had an exceptional taste. I only ordered the pizza sandwich just to get the taste of their pizzas, which was amazing! P.S: Don't count on the 10% student discount cause they won't give you any!

You never know what the interior is like if you come to grab a take out here. Take the stairs and find the cozy, warm and homey room with beautiful and chic furniture. Persian music is on non stop not too loud to stop you from enjoying your meal. We ordered both roast beef pizza and the roast beef sandwich. Yummy and yummy 14-inch sandwich, cheesy and meaty! Nice staff. Acceptable service. Decent food quality and reasonable check. I will stop by again for sure.

You guys. I have the most endearing story to tell you about Chez Hailar. But just so you know, Chez Hailar is an Iranian restaurant that specializes in halal pizzas and subs with their own "special sauce". I didn't know this but Iranians seem to have their own spin on pizza (they add potato chip sticks and a special sauce on top) and it works! So here's my story: we visited Chez Hailar during #PizzaFest Mtl since I had previously tried it for delivery and loved it. While the food was delicious, the service was very slow. When I think of fast food, I don't think of sitting for 2 hours in a restaurant! It took 25 minutes before we received water. That's unacceptable! It also took a while longer before we received our drinks and pizzas - good thing it was worth the wait! The roast beef pizza is really unique and the vegetarian pizza is full of veggies. That Chez Hailar sauce though - yum. I could down that whole bottle. After another long wait and a failed attempt at getting a waiter's attention, I had to get up and ask for my bill. While that was annoying, the food is stellar. Chez Hailar felt so bad about my negative experience with the service that they sent an employee to apologize to my apartment in person. AND he brought me a freshly baked roast beef pizza. On the inside of the box, they wrote: "Please accept our sincere apologies. We would love to serve you @ChezHailar again." Maybe our last visit was a fluke and we were just unlucky with where we were sitting and how busy the restaurant got. Or maybe as they explained, it's normal as per Iranian customs to not want your customers to feel rushed. Regardless, I'm happy that management took my comments seriously and wanted to rectify the situation. It's rare that a restaurant would go out of their way to apologize face-to-face and send over a piping hot pizza! It's also heart-warming to see how important this family business is to them and I want to support that. Order in and enjoy their perfectly toasted subs and crispy, delicious and halal pizzas. I appreciate that while there's plenty of amazing halal meats available for the subs and pizzas, there's also a lot of vegetarian options. I'm really glad that I gave Chez Hailar a chance and I think you should too!

I tried the roast beef and special pizzas. They taste great. Exactly like the Persian pizzas I tasted 8 years ago in Iran.

For muslims: its all halal! Enjoy! We highly recommend Hailar special pizza (Persian-style pizza) and shredded-beef Hailar special sandwich. Really delicious!

Best pizza in Montreal. I would definitely recommend for you to get the hailar special. First time having Persian pizza and it did not let down. Very affordable, great service and food to perfection.

Absolutely delicious pizza. My husband had the pepperoni and I had the hailar special. It was flavorful, filling and I would definitely go back. Service was also excellent. Will be back to try the sandwiches!

Great portions, good price, tasty food, and friendly staff! I highly recommend going for a big and quick meal.

I discovered this place on the CASA app. I've tried it twice. Service was always very friendly and quick. I like the dining room because it's on the second floor with a decent view of the street. I had one of the sandwiches which was pretty solid.

I haven't been to Hailar in almost a year but I have fond memories of my several informal forays into this cozy restaurant. Hailar is the kind of place where you're expecting a casual dining experience (because the food is honestly casual) but the ambiance is anything but. It looks like your fancy great-aunt's tea room upstairs. Old flowery curtains, clunky big furniture, it's almost like a character piece from a good TV show. The best way I can describe the food is like jazzed up bro-food. There are these Persian style pizzas with loads of meat on top and sandwiches, cold and hot, lots of casual eating and mediocre service from middle aged Iranian women. The entire experience is comically enjoyable. I love this place, have visited many a time and recommend it to the adventurous who want to try a different kind of fast food.

I visited this restaurant with my friend. The service was slow, waiters were not perofessional, .... and the MOUSE POOP????Absolutely disgusting Will not return Forgot to mention we had diariya for the next few days after eating their sh**y food.

The tea was exactly the same as what I had in Iran. The pizza was normal. It was a bit cold. I don't recommend the banana milkshake because it was not milkshake but completely ice cream.

Ordered pizza for an event from Chez Hailar. Service was excellent and delivery on time. The pizzas themselves were amazing, nothing like your traditional pizza place. Thin crusted, delicious toppings (we've tried the vegetarian and pepperoni pizzas), a spicy mayo-based dip. Would definitely recommend this restaurant !

Amazing food and very kind company. Service was good and prices are very reasonable. A 7" sandwich is plenty!

Went there because of good reviews but it was mostly a disappointment. Location is good but not a good place for some one with mobility issues due to bunch of narrow stairs. Uncomfortable chairs, outdated decor and a single ,young student working there as the waiter and also probably the cook. The sandwiches are just deli meat in bun and pizza was awe full. Service however was ok. Would not recommend for. Family or for anyone who wants to try Persian food.

This was a great find for a late night pizza. And the hickory sticks are fantastic as a topping! Definitely will be coming back.

I ordered their roast beef pizza last night and it was amazing! I'm not a fan of potato sticks with my pizza, so I asked to have it on the side instead. The pizza is full of cheesy goodness, their roast beef just melted in my mouth, and the crust was not too thin/thick, just perfect. Also, compared to other restos nearby this place is really clean, like seriously you can feel how neat and clean the place is once you step inside. The staff seems nice and friendly as well. I wish they'd just mentioned there's garlic in their special sauce, but it's on the side,so no need to worry if you don't like garlic.

The place is super tiny and a bit gros as sauces are already used and greecy... the pizzas aren't a special thing .. the service is a bit weird too.. waiters keep on looking, coming and asking while you are eating and it is super annoying ... don't recommend!

Amazing food and service . These guys know how to make mouth watering sandwiches and pizzas . I can't wait to try everything on their menu . And open late . :) 5 stars all the way

very cozy, good portions and great service. you really must try their dessert Majoon.

This place is awesome! Their prices are spectacular, their food is delicious, and their service is great. I have never written a Yelp review before, but I had to for this place! 10/10 would recommend.
