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.

Une cuisine authentique, riche en saveurs, préparée avec passion & générosité. Chaque plat nous fait voyager directement en Mauritanie. L'accueil est chaleureux, l'ambiance familiale & le service impeccable
Une expérience d'excellence du début à la fin ! Franchement, c'est le genre d'endroit qu'on adopte & qu'on garde précieusement dans son coeur.

Went there twice, & honestly the experience was really nice both times. The restaurant decor is amazing a mix of heritage Mauritania /North African style that feels warm & very welcoming. The seating is ground style, which makes it feel very homey & perfect for a relaxed group meal.

The food comes as a set sharing plate (couscous with chicken, vegetables, & lamb), which I personally really enjoyed all of them! Everything was flavorful & satisfying, & the portion was actually enough for about 3 people.

Don't miss the hibiscus it's really refreshing They also offer free tea after the food, which adds a nice traditional touch to the experience :)

Service was very good, & overall the place works really well for groups. It's the kind of restaurant you go to for both the food & the experience.

Restaurant unique, très chaleureux, les plats ne sont pas servis individuellement mais à partager. On se sent comme sous une tente de nomades dans le désert… Le couscous, le jus de hibiscus & le thé à la menthe sont délicieux. Atigh & ses employés sont très gentils. Je recommande l'expérience 💯

Je vous conseille vivement ce restaurant ! Autant l'accueil que la nourriture ainsi que l'ambiance qui nous fait voyager dans le désert de Mauritanie ne vous laissera pas indifférent(e) !

Une dédicace pour le commis supporter de Marseille (de la part d'un supporter de Paris !)

Good food & vibe but 3 main issues:
- owner lied about the price (there's no menu) advertising $32 for us to learn it was actually $38 after we sat. That's petty haggling
- sure benches are authentic but make it VERY uncomfortable to sit with long legs.
- was honestly just too much money for a soup, couscous & tea…
Food was good (coucous a bit dry) & atmosphere is definitely special.

Je suis venu avec ma famille pour un souper. On a été très bien accueilli & le service était très rapide. Les entrées & le repas principal de couscous étaient vraiment délicieux & savoureux. Merci à Atighs & tous les autres employés pour l'accueil chaleureux, on se sentait vraiment choyés. Un super restaurant à définitivement essayer au coeur du Mile End pour une expérience gastronomique mémorable!

A very unique dining experience, & one of the only places you can try food from Mauritania 🇲🇷 in the world. I'm so glad I met the owner he's a great guy. It's a fixed menu, but there are many courses & the beverages are phenomenal. I would highly recommend this experience & I would love to visit again in the future.
