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.

Le mélange de la qualité de la nourriture, l'authenticité, le gout, l'ambiance, le service à fait que je peut assurer que ce restaurant est n°1 à montréal ! Tu ne peut aller chercher mieu même dans un étoile michelin.

Good! Wished there were meat skewers as well as the stew-like dishes though. Overall, fun experience, especially the dine-in environment. Excellent service!

Nous avons fêté l'anniversaire de mon copain. Tout simplement incroyable à tous les niveaux. Le lieu est magnifique & authentique, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & intimiste, le repas incroyable, excellent rapport qualité / prix. Nous étions 15 dans un box & cette disposition permettait qu'on puisse tous se voir/parler, ce qui est très apprécié quand on est un grand groupe. Puis mention spéciale au propriétaire qui a été adorable & au petit soin . Merci beaucoup pour cette soirée mémorable

Had dinner yesterday & Atigh (owner) served us a wonderful lentil soup & a three part meal over couscous including beef with dates, chicken with olives, & a vegetable mix. YUMMY!! For a very relaxed atmosphere, excellent service, & exquisite North African food, this place is your goto place. A wonderful mainstay for many years in Mile End, right next to Perogie Lili.

Arrived with no reservations & the place was packed out on a weekend night, the owner still received us with open arms. Be prepared for a culture shock as this is not your typical dinner spot, but still an amazing unforgettable experience. Felt like eating at a family members house, no menus just whatever the chefs cooking. really yummy & great experience

Highly recommended. I went alone but the restaurant has cultivated a genuine convivial ambiance. The food was beyond amazing, as was the maghrebi mint tea after the meal.

Moroccan style food is excellent with generous portion, in a warm & decorative atmosphere. Having said this, the online menu does not exist nor is it applicable at the restaurant. It is automatically a table d'hôte au $30 a person. Price is different from online posting. When asked, the waiter says same price for past 3 years, & laughs of the question.The waiter provided cocky answers & comments when questioned about this , belittling any questions on subject Having enough leftovers for 3 small containers for the 3 ladys, I mentioned we would take the pitas in the dish, to accompany the leftovers, as he was removing it from the table. He asked me if I wanted to take the chrome dish. In an attempt to ridicule my pita request. Not very professional customer support.

Tout d'abord, le lieu est fabuleux. Chaleureux, accueillant, à peine entré qu'on voyage & déconnecte de la ville. On se sent un peu comme à la maison, ou chez des amis, c'est confortable, on est à l'aise & le temps semble s'arrêter. La cuisine est extrêmement savoureuse, la cuisson de chaque aliment irréprochable, tout est finement préparé. Aucun doute que les plats sont fait avec une grande dose de passion & un soupçon d'amour ! J'ai apprécié pouvoir déguster un plat plein de saveurs & vegetarien ! Les portions sont généreuses, c'est un très bon rapport qualité-prix. Le service est plein de sympathie & de générosité. Une belle découverte, j'aurais plaisir à revenir.

Great experience & even better meal. The crew working were super friendly & examined the restaurant & how the menu or lack of menu works. The beef & dates were absolutely incredible, one of the best bites I've ever had. The mixed plate is a great option as the three dishes play off each other very well. Tip: Ignore the reviews complaining that you don't get much food for the money, we left stuffed & the waiter mentioned that they portion it out for the number in your group but if you need more they will give you more. We didn't need it.
