At la Khaїma (nomad tent), at 142 Fairmount in Mile End, we enter into a nomadic world, a journey through colors, flavors and sensations. Once inside, African music accompanied by a rich fragrance emanating from the kitchen complete the multi-sensory experience that transports you to the Sahara. Couples can enjoy an intimate setting while large groups benefit from Moroccan salon comfort, eating from a long, low table.
The founder, of Mauritanian origin, greets guests and his joie-de-vivre warms the atmosphere. The cuisine is African with a nomad touch. Dishes are prepared with local products following the “Slow Food” concept, creating uniquely spiced tajines that offer an unparalleled taste experience. In accordance with the tradition of the desert, guests share large platters tasting all the flavors on offer, with enough to satisfy even the most demanding of appetites.

Nous avons fêté l'anniversaire de mon copain. Tout simplement incroyable à tous les niveaux. Le lieu est magnifique & authentique, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & intimiste, le repas incroyable, excellent rapport qualité / prix. Nous étions 15 dans un box & cette disposition permettait qu'on puisse tous se voir/parler, ce qui est très apprécié quand on est un grand groupe. Puis mention spéciale au propriétaire qui a été adorable & au petit soin . Merci beaucoup pour cette soirée mémorableView more

Had dinner yesterday & Atigh (owner) served us a wonderful lentil soup & a three part meal over couscous including beef with dates, chicken with olives, & a vegetable mix. YUMMY!! For a very relaxed atmosphere, excellent service, & exquisite North African food, this place is your goto place. A wonderful mainstay for many years in Mile End, right next to Perogie Lili.View more

Arrived with no reservations & the place was packed out on a weekend night, the owner still received us with open arms. Be prepared for a culture shock as this is not your typical dinner spot, but still an amazing unforgettable experience. Felt like eating at a family members house, no menus just whatever the chefs cooking. really yummy & great experienceView more

Moroccan style food is excellent with generous portion, in a warm & decorative atmosphere. Having said this, the online menu does not exist nor is it applicable at the restaurant. It is automatically a table d'hôte au $30 a person. Price is different from online posting. When asked, the waiter says same price for past 3 years, & laughs of the question.The waiter provided cocky answers & comments when questioned about this , belittling any questions on subject Having enough leftovers for 3 small containers for the 3 ladys, I mentioned we would take the pitas in the dish, to accompany the leftovers, as he was removing it from the table. He asked me if I wanted to take the chrome dish. In an attempt to ridicule my pita request. Not very professional customer support.View more

Tout d'abord, le lieu est fabuleux. Chaleureux, accueillant, à peine entré qu'on voyage & déconnecte de la ville. On se sent un peu comme à la maison, ou chez des amis, c'est confortable, on est à l'aise & le temps semble s'arrêter. La cuisine est extrêmement savoureuse, la cuisson de chaque aliment irréprochable, tout est finement préparé. Aucun doute que les plats sont fait avec une grande dose de passion & un soupçon d'amour ! J'ai apprécié pouvoir déguster un plat plein de saveurs & vegetarien ! Les portions sont généreuses, c'est un très bon rapport qualité-prix. Le service est plein de sympathie & de générosité. Une belle découverte, j'aurais plaisir à revenir.View more

Great experience & even better meal. The crew working were super friendly & examined the restaurant & how the menu or lack of menu works. The beef & dates were absolutely incredible, one of the best bites I've ever had. The mixed plate is a great option as the three dishes play off each other very well. Tip: Ignore the reviews complaining that you don't get much food for the money, we left stuffed & the waiter mentioned that they portion it out for the number in your group but if you need more they will give you more. We didn't need it.View more

A resto with a tasting menu is always a good idea. Transport your tongue to the rugged terrain of the Sahara with this Mauritanian restaurant that offer a wide array of flavors while maintaining originality that still caters to a North American palate. I highly recommend the baobab & hibiscus beverage. I intend to return here often. You feel like you're back in Mauritania- hold the slavery of course!View more

Super chill vibes & such a great host. It's a per person menu, where the owner comes & explains the menu & food options. Food was great, but the vibes is what's worth the time. Musicians came at the end of the night & we had a great time listening to some music!View more
