About us

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 warm, immersive dining experience that feels like a Mauritanian home in Montreal. The decor is authentically traditional and cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere where the staff and the owner take care to explain the menu and make guests feel at ease. Dishes arrive in generous, shareable portions as part of a per-person fixed menu that typically starts with a lentil soup and continues with a richly flavored couscous platter, with vegetarian and gluten-free options available. Flavors are described as comforting and vibrant, with mint tea and hibiscus drinks often highlighted as perfect finishers. The setting is friendly and intimate, with guests welcomed to bring their own wine and prices that are considered very reasonable, making it a memorable spot to explore North African and Mauritanian cuisine with family or friends.

The decor transports you to a totally different world, so warm & welcoming. The lentil soup was perfect, tasty & a little filling. The main dish (chicken & olive stew on top of couscous & beef & date stew on top of couscous) were so filling & freshly made. Absolutely worth it. 5/5 for everything. Loved it. Also, the service was super fast, we were served within 10 min & I'm so glad because I was starving & left satisfied

Le service, l'ambiance, la nourriture, tout était parfait! Nous étions un groupe de 10 & nous nous sommes sentis pris en charge par les serveurs & le chef, une vraie perle, qui nous a concocté de délicieux plats de couscous, avec une option végétarienne tout autant délicieuse pour notre amie végé. Les couleurs, l'éclairage, le concept du resto: tout est si chaleureux & familial! Merci!

The food & service were absolutely incredible! This place deserves a way higher rating. We got the course meal with lentil soup & then a mixture of chicken & olives, beef cooked with dates & raisins, & lastly a vegetarian option (carrots, zucchini, tomato, onion, chickpeas) all on top of flavourful couscous. Afterwards, we were served mint tea (sweetened). Everything was delicious! The owner (i presume) always came to check up on us to see if we enjoyed the food.

Plus que s'offrir un bon repas, aller chez La Khaïma c'est vivre toute une expérience !

Pas de carte, nous avons suivi les conseils de notre serveuse en choisissant les 3'couscous' (poulet au citron confit & olives, boeuf aux dattes, légumes), servi dans un grand plat à partager.
C'était copieux & plein de saveurs.

À savoir : une partie des assises sont sans dossier & les tables sont basses. Cela ajoute à l'expérience mais peut devenir inconfortable pour certaines personnes

Absolute gem! La Khaima cuisine has a limited selection of items to chose from in the menu. Each item we ordered were absolutely delightful & tasted authentic. Best lentil soup & mint tea I've ever had.

Shout out to the owner that made our group feel welcome while visiting over the long weekend. He not only made our experience in Montreal unforgettable, but also offered incredible insight to the bagels through his baking background. Highly recommend visiting.

Went for the vegetarian option & what a disaster it was. Essentially I paid to have hummus & pita. Cannot recommend.

J'adore ce resto & je ne m'en lasse pas! La formule à 30$ par personne pour soupe (entrée), couscous (très copieux!!) & thé à la menthe, est très intéressante! En plus, c'est un apportez votre vin!
J'y vais plusieurs fois par année, c'est une place bien décorée, au service excellent, on s'y sent bien! 🤩

Le monsieur était super chaleureux. Les chaises à terre donnait une ambiance détendue, par contre les tables sont un peu basse. Il n'y a pas de ventilation, donc on se sent un peu étouffer. La nourriture était correcte apart pour les légumes qui n'étaient pas assez cuits.
