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 unique and immersive dining experience that transports guests to a warm, authentic North African setting. Many diners appreciate the communal atmosphere and the traditional, home-style Mauritanian dishes, such as the flavorful couscous, lentil soup, and refreshing hibiscus tea, which are served in generous, shareable portions. The hospitality is frequently highlighted as a standout feature, with the owner and staff often going out of their way to explain the rotating, fixed-menu concept and ensure everyone feels welcome. While the ground-style seating and lack of a traditional menu are central to the nomadic vibe, the restaurant remains a beloved local gem for those seeking an intimate, genuine, and flavorful culinary journey.

An unique restaurant experience ❤?
Perfect for a big group because the food is served on a big shareable platter.
There is no menu, you trust the chef. Every day, the menu changes. You always get a base (I got couscous & I think there's also rice) & always 3 different sauces (I got beef, chicken & a vegan option).
You remove your shoes before sitting & the seats are low cushioned benches.

Restaurant unique, très chaleureux, les plats ne sont pas servis individuellement mais à partager. On se sent comme sous une tente de nomades dans le désert… Le couscous, le jus de hibiscus & le thé à la menthe sont délicieux. Atigh & ses employés sont très gentils. Je recommande l'expérience 💯

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.

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.
