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.

Portions are hearty, prices are fair, and the bring your own bottle option adds flexibility. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and the overall experience blends home style cooking with generous hospitality that makes guests want to return.
L'ambiance est sympa, l'accueil était chaleureux mais je n'ai pas aimé la bouffe & je trouve que c'est trop cher pour ce genre de plat nous étions 6 est chacune à payer 30$
La nourriture n'était pas assez chaude, mais gouteuse. Portion de viande réduites, beaucoup beaucoup de couscous! Je suis déçu du rapport qualité prix....Ce n'était pas le cas ã ma dernière visite. Je n'y retournerai pas!

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. :)
Delicious food, The tea was amazing & made with Love for sure! I had the pleasure to discuss with the owner. Very kind & altruistic being who has founded La Khaima foundation & the festival nomade to create bridges with the Mauritanie & Montreal. The space is filled with ever changing Mauritanian textures, colors & objects, that allow us to travel there, experiencing the Nomad itself. Thank you :) Will definitly go back!

I use to go a couple of years ago. I just found that for the price that is much higher for 4 people there where less meat, lots of couscous the couple next to us had the same plate & I was missing the hummus that you use to serve. But overall it was good.

We loved the atmosphere. Food looked great but could use a little more zing. The bathroom was awful. Gross & unusable. Really put a damper on the end of the evening.
Really recommended, I have gone several times I always finished happy, the food is super good, the atmosphere is warm & cozy, very nice to share with a big group of friends
