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.

Nothing to do with North African food, was boring & quite expensive for the quality. No taste nor flavor, lucky we had a soup with a bit of something to fill us up....
Ok resto. Rien de special pour la bouffe. Menu fix ( ce fois ci - Mauritania) ...inspiration du chef. Couscous !!!! Apportez votre vin. Le the...pas tres typique. Tres bon service !

Très bon endroit / la nourriture est toujours excellente & très bon service !
Très bon rapport qualité prix puisque c'est un apportez votre vin, je recommande cet endroit atypique
L'accueil à la khaima est extrêmement chaleureux & le repas est un pure délice. Quoi que vous soyez venu chercher, laissez-vous guider par le maître des lieux qui, de l'entrée au dessert, vous régalera copieusement.
Je recommande à 100%.
The food was very tasty, like a mom would cook. I felt at home. The ambience & service was warm & friendly. great place for a relaxed meal. Thank you Atigh for ur hospitality
Belle ambiance, décor nous faisant voyager dans un autre univers, celui du désert marocain... Excellente nourriture. J'aime le fait qu'il y ait qu'un choix de 4 services avec choix végétarien &/ou avec viande. Bon service. Pas très bien assis, mais intéressant de changer sa façon d'être à table. Personnellement, j'aime bien. Il faut avoir des vêtements confortables. Le proprio est super! Heureuse de m'être retrouvée sur la rue du collège de mon adolescence. Merci!
Very good general ambiance although service was a little slow due to the fact that there was only one waiter for the entire restaurant. (I don't think it is the norm, they might have had a little trouble with the staff that night). The food was delightful & prices were fair considering that you can bring your own wine.
