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.

Le menu du chef était excellent. De la soupe à l'entrée, en passant par le plat principal, tout était excellent. Le service était bon & l'atmosphère était comme si nous étions dans le désert. Bref, je recommande grandement.

Toujours un plaisir de retourner à ce resto chaleureux au service personnalisé & aux mille saveurs de l'Afrique du Nord !
Cette fois ci on pense que le chef se voit inspiré alors il a changé un ti peu les recettes & même la présentation des plats. On prèfère à l'ancien comme avant mais c'est toujours très bon avec le changement.

The staff in this restaurant were amazingly accommodating & friendly. Food portions are seemingly endless (we had to leave food on the plates & they STILL offered more). The chef treated us to an amazing tea from his home town in Africa & the atmosphere was perfect. Definitely a place worth visiting in large groups.

Truly amazing place,

Had my family hear for a post- wedding celebration. They served more food than we could eat & even offered more without extra charge of whatever we wanted.
Atmosphere was beautiful & the food was authentic, complete with Hibiscus tea from the chef's home town.

I will definitely be returning in future.

The chef comes to see you in person & explains his daily menu. He is super nice. The food is just amazing & the portions are very generous you will not leave hungry. the tables are almost ground level & you remove your shoes to enter this very north african style deco. it can get a bit uncomfrotable to sit so low though for hours, but its a wonderful experience!

We were here with five of us. We were met at the table by the chef & seated in the lovely restaurant. There were I've of us, all vegetarians. We ordered the vegetarian cous cous for all five of us, & were told we would get some appetizers. We got one small bowl of hummus. The table next to us with two people got the same amount of appetizers. When our meal arrived, a bit cold, we noticed that it took as the same size as the platters being served to tables of two. At one point I asked if we could have another appetizer & the server told us they were out of it, but kept bringing it to other tables. It seemed a bit odd. They were very busy, the service was chaotic & the servings were either way too much for two people or not enough for five. I think it is a nice atmosphere & people enjoyed themselves. We did, but found it to be over-rated & subpar.

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre expérience au restaurant La Khaïma ! Les plats étaient délicieux !!! Le couscous était un vrai régal ! Les thés à la menthe étaient excellents. On a aussi beaucoup aimé un accueil chaleureux & l’hospitalité du chef. La décoration vous plonge dans une ambiance nomade. On y absolument reviendra avec nos amis.
