About us

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.

Come discover La Khaima’s unique refreshing drink made from the hibiscus flower and their mint tea. These marvelous drinks, in addition to mezzes are available by day at Khaїma cafe, 148 Fairmount. It is a meeting
place where you can enjoy comedy nights, music and film screenings. Follow us on Facebook to discover upcoming events.

Good food & vibe but 3 main issues:
- owner lied about the price (there's no menu) advertising $32 for us to learn it was actually $38 after we sat. That's petty haggling
- sure benches are authentic but make it VERY uncomfortable to sit with long legs.
- was honestly just too much money for a soup, couscous & tea…
Food was good (coucous a bit dry) & atmosphere is definitely special.

Je suis venu avec ma famille pour un souper. On a été très bien accueilli & le service était très rapide. Les entrées & le repas principal de couscous étaient vraiment délicieux & savoureux. Merci à Atighs & tous les autres employés pour l'accueil chaleureux, on se sentait vraiment choyés. Un super restaurant à définitivement essayer au coeur du Mile End pour une expérience gastronomique mémorable!

A very unique dining experience, & one of the only places you can try food from Mauritania 🇲🇷 in the world. I'm so glad I met the owner he's a great guy. It's a fixed menu, but there are many courses & the beverages are phenomenal. I would highly recommend this experience & I would love to visit again in the future.

Une fois assis, on nous a informé que seul le menu (40$) était possible.

La soupe de lentilles est correct, mais on arrive à peu de chose près à la même chose en suivant une recette d'internet.

Le couscous ... beaucoup trop sucré ! Vraiment ... le sucre rajoute du corps, mais la je ne sentais que ca ... Donc quand même bien décevant ... 40$ pour ca ... bah ...

Ceci dit, le lieux est sympa. & il est possible de se faire re-servir :)

Donc, correct pour un soupé entre amis, mais c'est vraiment trop cher au vu de la qualité ...

The service & atmosphere are extraordinary, along with the food. The place is just gorgeous. Today the restaurant staff & owner were accommodating of a special request, which they obliged at their expense with characteristic warmth & care. Amongst the best in Montreal.

A hidden gem for sure!! My sister has been going here for years & blessed my taste buds by taking me along with her. This is some of the best food I have ever eaten & the service is incredibly friendly. The workers are very prompt & kind, I felt right at home. The beef date stew was UNREAL I'm forever dreaming of it. The starters of hummus & lentil soup with pita were divine. I was so stuffed & cannot wait to come back, this place is a must!!
