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.

Came here with a large group. The service was friendly & managed our party well! All the food was delicious & could also accommodate gluten-free & vegetarian requests. Fav spot for a group dinner in Montreal :)
Excellent pour ce que c'est, c-a-d un restaurant du coin qui fait voyager sous une tente...en plein hiver. C'est ma deuxième visite & l'esprit de partage est au coeur de l'expérience.....tissant & renouant les liens à travers des plats nord-africains. je ne dirais pas non à une troisième visite.

gorgeous interior with inside-the-nomadic-tent vibe, with wooden beams & comfy cushions on low seats. food is delicious & plenty, with chicken, beef & veggies on a generous plate of couscous. at the end you'll get some sweet mint tea with sweets. staff is super nice & friendly. cool place!
Les plats étaient tièdes à l'arrivée & la table fût embarrassée tout le long du repas. Services lent mais belle ambiance quand même. Je ne crois pas y retourne

Lieu agréable, chaleureux, original & très dépaysant : nous avons fait un beau voyage.
La nourriture est très bonne & les personnes qui accueillent les hôtes, qui cuisinent sont absolument adorables.
Nous avons adopté ce lieu.
Toujours un plaisir de retourner à ce resto chaleureux au service personnalisé & aux mille saveurs de l'Afrique du Nord !
Cette fois ci on pense que le chef se voit inspiré alors il a changé un ti peu les recettes & même la présentation des plats. On prèfère à l'ancien comme avant mais c'est toujours très bon avec le changement.
Superbe découverte! Nous étions en amoureux, mais nous aimerions y retourner avec des amis. Cet endroit est festif, coloré & original de par ses coussins & tables au sol. Excellent repas, à partager, de la soupe au dessert.
