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 moment you step inside, the warm ambiance, traditional decor, & carefully curated atmosphere immerse you in a blend of North & Sub-Saharan African culture.

Whether you're here for a casual meal or a cultural experience, the setting, food, & atmosphere make you feel like you're sitting in a traditional African gathering, surrounded by the essence of both dessert & savanna life.

J'adore aller à La Kahïma. C'est un superbe restaurant, chaleureux & confortable. Le menu (fixe) est délicieux! Les qualités sont généreuse, mais s'il advenait que vous ayez encore faim après la première assiette, on vous en servira une autre! Restaurant apportez votre vin & je dirais aussi, apportez votre plat Tupperware! Vous pourrez en profiter plus longtemps.

Il est à déconseiller. J'y suis allé le mois passé avec un ami marocain. C'est moi qui a choisi l'endroit. Il était gêné de la piètre qualité des plats qui pour lui ne représente pas la cuisine marocaine. Par ailleurs les verres reçus à la table renfermait une eau tiède; l'assiette principale contenait exagérément du coucous; la lumière qui centrait le plat principal était sombre, comme si c'était voulu pour ne pas reconnaitre le peu d'aliments dans le plat principal & les ustensiles, je me voyais entrain de manger dans une vente de garage; j'ai eu la malchance d'être assis sur le banc dont une partie était dénivelée, bravo pour le fessier. J'ai eu la "chance" de visiter la salle de bain, trop à l'étroit, difficile de bouger & le lavabo plus petit que dans un train. Le seul point positif est la configuration des bancs À ne pas visiter malgré sa présentation de son site web (Il ne faut pas se fier aux apparences) J'oubliais j'ai remarqué lorsque je suis allé & la seconde fois dans la même semaine qu'aucun maghrébin n'était présent est-ce parce qu'ils sont capables de différencier ce que sont des plats maghrébins de qualité. Autrement dit c'est plus facile de berner des québécois puisqu'ils s'y MÉCONNAISSENT en plats de l'Afrique du Nord. Non le mieux serait de visiter le "Petit Maghreb"...
