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.

Très bon resto! La nourriture était excellente (surtout la soupe en entrée!). Le service était aussi, ni trop rapide ou trop lent. Excellent choix pour un souper de groupe & belle ambiance.
Food was great. The one hour & a half waiting for our table was not. We went during the "Montreal a table" festival. The owner dared to tell us it was the festival's booking system that took too many people in. Guess what, we all booked through your own website.
Bonjour, nous avons beaucoup aimé notre expérience au Khaima. Toutefois, nous sommes venu dans le cadre de Mtl a table & la table d'hôte indiquait 21$ & nous avons dû payer 25$. Aussi, le service était un peu rapide. Merci
