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.

We were seated at a cute low table & the server explained that it was a fixed menu. They offered to separate my vegetarian from my companions meal, which was appreciated. The first dish was a lentil soup which tasted good but was pretty watery. The main couscous dish was substantial but basic in terms of flavour, presentation & ingredients.. We were never offered a drink & when our meal was served we were missing forks & knives. We never saw our server after again even though the restaurant was actually empty. I guess this could be a good restaurant if you're very hungry because the portion sizes are big, but for the price I found it underwhelming.

It was Fantastic! They were really sweet & patient with my daughter & the food was sooo good! I am usually a picky eater but their soup & couscous were delicious😍 especially the beef made with date sauce👌 The tea was good too but just a bit too sweet, so if you dont like your tea too sweet, remember to ask for no sugar. Really worth the price 🙌🏼 Also they dont have a menu they always serve the same thing,a small bowl of lentil soup for each as an entree with pita, then a big plate of couscous with sweet beef, chicken & veggies to share between everyone (the plate on the picture was big & for 5 persons). Finally tea & a little piece of some type of coconut'cake' I dont remember what they called it😅 anyways So so good ❤? would recommend to go before 8 pm on weekends because it fills up fast

This place was special. The food, the people, the atmosphere. We were welcomed by the chef. Checked on by the chef. & treated like we were their special guests (everyone in the restaurant got this treatment). My niece & I had one of the tastiest & happiest dining experiences in many years. &, the value is superb.

If you're ever in Montreal this restaurant is an absolute recommendation! The interior & atmosphere is just so authentic & detailed. You take your shoes of & sit on little cushioned benches. There is no a la carte menu just couscous with different toppings to share. It's going to be too much but don't worry they have to go boxes & it tastes amazing the next day. After dinner we got complimentary mint tea (a bit on the too sweet side) but that's how the do it back home. We enjoyed the food a lot & would definitely come back

Such an underrated place in my opinion! Supper is served by special: the chef's selection for the evening, which means that you get to sit back, drink delicious mint tea & be served the flavors of the moment in a beautiful, cozy setting. They even had a gluten free option for my partner! Very romantic, great spot for a date 🌹

Parfait ! On était 10 & on a été servis comme des pachas! Soupe, couscous mixte avec petit thé. Délicieux, j'avoue avoir une petite touche pour la viande aux dattes! Excellent! On a adoré ! C'est à volonté on a pu se faire resservir de couscous ! Je recommande
