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.

The food was good & the atmosphere is vibrant & lively. Unfortunately, the bill was a bit of a shock when we got it. There was no menu so we were a bit unprepared for what it would cost. The bill came to $130 for four of us, & we had no drinks, just food. What we had was tasty but didn't seem quite worth the price.

Accueil d'une grande gentillesse. Le proprio a tenu à nous installer sous notre tente préférée, la première à gauche dans la deuxième salle, alors que notre petit groupe s'était déjà installé dans la première salle. Il nous connaît bien désormais. La formule du repas ne change pas, mais les plats changent évidemment. Le plat végé d'hier était un régal avec sa débauche de haricots, le poulet au citron est toujours égal à lui-même, un délice ! & nous avons apprécié & savouré le plat de boeuf. Bref, que des saveurs, des sourires & de la bonne humeur ! On se sent bien sous les tentes.

Décor accueillant & intimiste. Le chef va à votre rencontre & il très fier de vous faire connaître sa cuisine. Plats savoureux à partager, ce qui incite aux rapprochements. apportez votre vin, ce qui incite au relâchement.

Nous avions réservé avec Mtl à table, un menu offert à 21$, mais nous avons payé 25$ + taxes. Le potentiel est là, mais le service était trop expéditif, & la nourriture plutôt tiède.

C'est un endroit intéressant & dépaysant pour se retrouver en groupe un soir d'hiver, mais la nourriture y est ordinaire & le service laisse à désirer.

Worth a 2nd visit but?...

I did not know what to expect from this African neighborhood restaurant.
Upon entering the decor is authentic & tastefully done. I was surprised that we had to remove our shoes & seated on small benches on the floor. I am very tall & it was not very comfortable. (I saw they have real tables & chairs in the adjacent room...I will ask for that the next time)
It was a fixed menu which included soup to start (tasty but luke warm. We shared a platter of the 3 main courses (beef, vegetable, chicken) served on top of couscous. The platter looked beautiful & all the dishes were tasty but I was looking for more authentic pronounced flavors. For dessert we were served little cookies with tea which once agin tasted good but was luke warm. I understand it was Mtl a Table & very busy but this is a chance for a restaurant to put their best foot forward. I will return to give it a second try to see if it will be better because the food WAS good & service of the owners was very friendly & caring.

Accueil chaleureux, couscous délicieusement parfumé, viandes tendres, ambiance décontractée, décor invitant, prix raisonnable & un apportez votre vin, un peu en retrait de la frénésie du Plateau, que demander de plus ? & absolument rien à redire sur la propreté !

Very good service - the restaurant needs a little 'face-lift'...it's a little 'rough-around-the-edges'. Bathrooms are super tiny & need some work. The menu VERY simple with only 3 items which are all served together on a sharing plate over couscous. Home cooked style. It is a VERY busy spot for a so-so experience.
