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.

Charmant restaurant ou l'on se sent complètement dépaysé. Mise en contexte : on doit enlever nos souliers & les tables sont très basses. Donc, mal de dos vous abstenir. On a eu la totale, c'était une soirée chaude & leurs airs climatisé : kaput 😁. C'est le même menu pour tous, nous étionsun groupe : une soupe avec pita & plat de service avec boeuf aux dates, poulet aux olives & couscous. Petite touche sucrée avec le boeuf le poulet est avant le couscous aussi tout se mariait très bien. À la fin il est resté beaucoup de bouffe dans les plats & j'étais un peu triste de voir toute cette perte, jusqu'à ce que le serveur arrive avec des plats pour apportez alors bravo, aucune perte on a vider tous les plats & apportez le tout.

Une merveille. Nous sommes arrivés à dix-sept, l'accueil très amical & clair nous amène rapidement vers un choix de couscous à partager. Tout était délicieux, un rapport qualité prix bien plus qu'honnête. La disposition des lieux nous a permis de bien discuter ensemble, excellente soirée à La Khaïma.

This cute restaurant serves up quality food in great quantities, & the menu is predetermined by the chef/owner based on what was cooked that day, which is an interesting touch that ensures you get the fresh food of the day. Because everyone eats the same food, it creates a nice ambiance in the restaurant. Performances add to the sense of community! However, service can be slow & sometimes inattentive. We were not served or offered water for the entire length of our meal, & there was not really an opportunity to flag down someone about this given the set up of tables.

Ce restaurant est beaucoup trop cher ! 42$ pour un couscous c'est beaucoup trop surtout lorsque la quantité de viande & de légume est très réduite

ATTENTION gare aux amateurs de semoule !!!!!!!!!!! Nous sommes allé mangé le bon conscous pour l anniversaire d un ami & il a failli s etouffer lors du repas. Il y avait un caillou dans la semoule ! Sans parler de la bougie camouflée dans le gâteau d'anniversaire que nous avons failli avaler allumée (haha). Quelle idée, une bougie blanche sur une assiette blanche ! Mansion spéciale au thé qui était servi à la fin du repas même si il n y avait pas assez de verres pour le nombre de convives. Un peu déçus de la quantité même si le gourmand dont nous avons fêté l'anniversaire s'est régalé. Nous reviendrons armés d'une loupe la procheine fois pour éviter ce genre d'incidents ! A moins que l'achat de lunettes en cuisine serve aussi. Cordialement
