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.

Very friendly staff & environment. The seating arrangement felt very authentic. Ordering process was very simple. Only complaint was that the platter was about 70% couscous. The meat & vegetables we had were amazing. However after a few bites you are left eating just couscous. Would have been happier to have an overall smaller portion with more meat & vegetables.
Délicieux & abordable! Tout le monde mange le même menu : une soupe délicieuse, un mezzé type hummus, (3 sortes de tajines), du thé à la menthe & un dessert pour 25$ ! Le gros plus : on vous ressert si vous avez encore faim ! Ambiance authentique, on voyage en mangeant à la Khaima. Àa fait des années que j'y vais, & la qualité de la nourriture ne change pas, toujours au top !
This restaurant is very cozy & the food is delicious. It's also a bring your own wine & all you can eat. I personally never ordered a second plate because the portion are big.
On a découvert le restaurant mon mari & moi suite à une référence d'amie

Excellent repas. L'hôte souriant & accueillant. Malheureusement l'expérience a été un peu gâchée par la température trop froide du local. Tour les clients ou presque ont mangé avec leur manteau.
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.
Was delicious & the atmosphere was enjoyable. They were also really generous with their portions & even gave us more sauce for the couscous which was appreciated. Thanks!
25$ par personne dans un bol avec 4 portion de Boeuf aux dattes & poulet aux citrons avec couscous & ça inclus la soupe +dessert+thé a la menthe mais la nourriture est wow, très bonne & le proprio est très sympathique..noubliez pas le carré aux dattes 🤤🤤🤤 c'est trop bon
