About

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 authentic dining experience that transports guests to North Africa with its warm, homey atmosphere and traditional Mauritanian-inspired decor. Many diners appreciate the communal, fixed-menu style, featuring generous portions of flavorful couscous, rich lentil soup, and fresh hummus, all served with genuine hospitality. The hibiscus and mint teas are frequently highlighted as refreshing standouts, and the overall vibe is consistently described as cozy, welcoming, and perfect for groups. While the seating style is unconventional and some visitors suggest checking the menu policy beforehand, most patrons find the experience memorable, heartfelt, and well worth repeating.

Amazing food, super authentic. Everything is made from scratch in their kitchen even their hibiscus drink is made from the finest of hibiscus flowers from back home. Br Atigh is one of the best Moroccan people I have met. His hospitality is top notch. He told me about so many interesting things about how his food is made & I was in awe to eat such a great dish from his hands!
Their tea is one of the best teas we have tried, definitely try it out:) I will definitely feature br Atigh's story on my Dining Discoveries with Laylo on YouTube. So worth to experience this beautiful restaurant if you are in Montreal or visiting the city:)

Amazing restaurant! Really really loved the food & the atmosphere/ mood of the place. Owner was super nice. Felt it was expensive for couscous but nice for an occasion.

C'était ma seconde visite. L'ambiance est charmante. Les tables sont basses & on y mange pieds nus. Le service est excellent. Le jus d'hibiscus à lui seul un must. Le humus frais un des meilleurs que j'ai gouté. Les plats sont à partager. & on peu déguster plusieurs plats différents.

La cuisine était un peu copieuse pour une chaude journée d'été, mais somme toute vraiment savoureuse.

Le couscous poulet avec olives était excellent!

10/10 beautiful experience!

I love that there wasn't a menu, we didn't know what to expect but the chef came & told us all about what he's making!

The fact that for $35/person you get hibiscus iced tea, mint tea, hummus, soup, & an entire platter is insane. It was plenty

The place is very clean & cozy. You get an awesome experience that makes you feel like you're back home 😊

Saad - you made our day!!! You were so welcoming & explained a lot to us & took pics for us & gave us laughs, & thanks for teaching us all about the place & Mauritania! 🇲🇷 Wishing u all the best!!!

I really can't wait to visit Montreal again so I can come! 😊 🇲🇦 already craving the food I wish we had something like this where I live!

We randomly decided to try African cuisine & ended up at this restaurant, even though we honestly weren't very hungry. The chef came to our table & took so much time to kindly explain the menu & the concept behind the tasting experience. When we mentioned that we probably didn't have enough room for the full experience with appetizers, mains, & dessert, we told him we'd rather come back another time when we were hungrier.

Instead, he surprised us with such a thoughtful gesture & told us to stay, offering us a complimentary smaller version of the experience so we wouldn't leave without trying their food. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly made the evening memorable was the warmth, generosity, & passion behind the service. Such a beautiful & genuine experience.

The atmosphere at Khayma was absolutely beautiful & unique. It felt warm, authentic, & very welcoming. The traditional decor created a wonderful experience, & the ambiance was relaxing & enjoyable. A perfect place to spend time with family & friends. Highly recommended! 🥰Alhamdulillah ..
