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.

Review Summary

La Khaïma Cuisine Nomade offers a warm, immersive dining experience that feels like a Mauritanian home in Montreal. The decor is authentically traditional and cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere where the staff and the owner take care to explain the menu and make guests feel at ease. Dishes arrive in generous, shareable portions as part of a per-person fixed menu that typically starts with a lentil soup and continues with a richly flavored couscous platter, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available. Flavors are described as comforting and vibrant, with mint tea and hibiscus drinks often highlighted as perfect finishers. The setting is friendly and intimate, with guests welcomed to bring their own wine and prices that are considered very reasonable, making it a memorable spot to explore North African and Mauritanian cuisine with family or friends.

L'endroit est très joliment décoré, & le chef est très accueillant. Nous étions une tablée de 16 personnes, pas de choix de menu, mais le chef nous a concocté 3 gros plats avec différentes saveurs pour goûter. Nous avons mangé copieusement, tout le monde était très satisfait du choix de restaurant. Je recommande cette adresse. :)

J'ai beaucoup aimé la décoration & le concept de s'asseoir sur des petits bancs. Le service est bon, le cuisinier très souriant & courtois, il est même venu nous expliquer la composition du repas. C'est un endroit très familial & cozy. La nourriture est très bonne & leur thé à la menthe est juste parfait. J'y retournerais volontiers ☺️

What a fun, interesting place with delicious food. Chicken & olives, vegetarian & beef dished served on couscous that was light & airy. Hibiscus juice was lovely, sweet mint tea a nice end to the meal. Really nicely decorated. We would come again.

Un accueil familial & chaleureux avec les recommandations du propriétaire, nous avons goûté à des plats exquis. C'est un voyage culinaire dans un décor unique. Nous avons passé une fabuleuse soirée à un prix dérisoire.

Superbe décor, très belle accueil, la nourriture était excellente. Le prix raisonnable au vu de la quantité & de la qualité des plats. Relativement dépaysant par le concept de manger de manière traditionnelle, juste attention si vous avez des problèmes de dos la position peut être inconfortable au bout d'un moment

Belle ambiance, décor nous faisant voyager dans un autre univers, celui du désert marocain... Excellente nourriture. J'aime le fait qu'il y ait qu'un choix de 4 services avec choix végétarien &/ou avec viande. Bon service. Pas très bien assis, mais intéressant de changer sa façon d'être à table. Personnellement, j'aime bien. Il faut avoir des vêtements confortables. Le proprio est super! Heureuse de m'être retrouvée sur la rue du collège de mon adolescence. Merci!
