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.

A great place to check out if you want a unique dining experience! The atmosphere was incredible & made you feel like you were abroad, the service was great as the people were very nice, & the food was incredible. Soup, large couscous blend enough for two, & a Moroccan mint tea at the end. I suggest going here if you'd like to try something new in the city!

C'était la première fois que j'y suis allée & j'ai adoré. Non seulement la nourriture est délicieuse & abondante, mais l'expérience en soi est génial. Le décor est unique & authentique, j'ai oublié un instant que j'étais à Montréal! Le personnel est d'ailleurs très gentil. Le tout pour un prix très raisonnable, considérant la bonne quantité de nourriture qui est servie. Bref, je recommande à 100%.

Je suis allée avec de grandes attentes étant donné les belles photos publiées. Le service était attentionné & courtois. L'endroit est bien décoré & chaleureux., quoique il manque un peu d'entretien.. je crois que ce resto est très vieux. Ce qui m'a déçue c'est le plat unique alors que je m'attendais à choisir plein de repas différents. Cependant, il etait bon!
On mange tous la même chose. Je n'ai pas vu les repas publiés du tout. Soupe, coucous à partager avec poulet boeuf & légumes (que dans notre cas n'étaient que des poivrons). Le pain pita était aussi très froid & un peu dur.

Expérience unique à Montréal, le décor & la nourriture sont à un très haut niveau. De plus le service est toujours de grande qualité avec des gens gentils & généreux de leur temps!

À garde en tête: plat unique à partager avec de la viande, pourrait être moins recommandé pour les végétariens même s'il y a toujours moyen de s'arranger.

Je suis allé 4 fois à la Khaima & je ne m'en lasse pas.

Unique experience in Montreal-both the setting & the food are of very high quality.
On top of that, the service is always excellent, with kind & generous staff who take their time with you!

Something to keep in mind: there's a single shared dish featuring meat, so it may be less suitable for vegetarians-although there's usually a way to make it work.

I've been to La Khaima four times & never get tired of it.

What a joy to come here, the decor is unique, you feel you are in a tent in the Sahara dessert. The food is excellent, couscous that is flavorful & delicious, & as an added bonus, everything is gluten free! The owner Atigh is a gem, a great person with a kind heart. My son absolutely loves this place, the date beef & lentil soup are fantastic!

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.

Great atmosphere (relaxing & unique) & the food -(lentil soup, tagine, meatballs with dates, chicken & beans served over a bed of couscous) was great. Very friendly wait staff. & the mint tea to finish the meal is almost the best tea I've ever tasted!
