10/10 beautiful experience!

I love that there wasn't a menu, we didn't know what to expect but the chef came & told us all about what he's making!

The fact that for $35/person you get hibiscus iced tea, mint tea, hummus, soup, & an entire platter is insane. It was plenty

The place is very clean & cozy. You get an awesome experience that makes you feel like you're back home 😊

Saad - you made our day!!! You were so welcoming & explained a lot to us & took pics for us & gave us laughs, & thanks for teaching us all about the place & Mauritania! 🇲🇷 Wishing u all the best!!!

I really can't wait to visit Montreal again so I can come! 😊 🇲🇦 already craving the food I wish we had something like this where I live!

We randomly decided to try African cuisine & ended up at this restaurant, even though we honestly weren't very hungry. The chef came to our table & took so much time to kindly explain the menu & the concept behind the tasting experience. When we mentioned that we probably didn't have enough room for the full experience with appetizers, mains, & dessert, we told him we'd rather come back another time when we were hungrier.

Instead, he surprised us with such a thoughtful gesture & told us to stay, offering us a complimentary smaller version of the experience so we wouldn't leave without trying their food. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly made the evening memorable was the warmth, generosity, & passion behind the service. Such a beautiful & genuine experience.

A marvelous scene that makes you plunge into North African culture right after you step inside. It's a country inhabiting a restaurant. Very generous portions too! It's also so special to see how the chef/owner himself greets you & tells what he has cooked for the day. This authentic contact with the patrons is really difficult to find these days. Absolutely recommend it! They also have the apportez votre vin option!

I walked in & was greeted warmly right away. I asked the chef if I could get served food within 10 minutes because I was in a rush, & he smiled & reassured me it'll be ready in 1 minute. He told me the options. I picked the vegan vegetables & couscous. It was ready in 1 minute like he said & tasted great & the portion was really decent. The sitting areas were relaxing, beautiful & spacious. He checked on me to make sure I was happy... Thank you !

Le service, l'ambiance, la nourriture, tout était parfait! Nous étions un groupe de 10 & nous nous sommes sentis pris en charge par les serveurs & le chef, une vraie perle, qui nous a concocté de délicieux plats de couscous, avec une option végétarienne tout autant délicieuse pour notre amie végé. Les couleurs, l'éclairage, le concept du resto: tout est si chaleureux & familial! Merci!

Amazingly delicious food, the staff & the chef are super friendly, they explained the menu without us having to ask & they really made us feel welcomed. The vibe is cozy & very chill. We will definitely come back!

Je suis allée à La Khaïma pour la première fois ce lundi avec un groupe de 11 amies, toutes originaires d'Afrique du Nord & du Moyen-Orient, & nous avons absolument adoré notre expérience. L'atmosphère était vraiment agréable, avec une douce musique instrumentale nord-africaine, un éclairage tamisé, & très peu de monde autour de nous.

La personne qui nous a servies (le chef) était extrêmement aimable & nous a même apporté le plus énorme pot de jus d'hibiscus que j'aie jamais vu. Nous avons terminé tous nos plats : une soupe de lentilles délicieuse, suivie de trois mets principaux absolument sublimes. Les portions étaient très généreuses, & pour couronner le tout, nous avons reçu du thé à la menthe offert par la maison.

Nous étions toutes ravies & n'avons littéralement aucune plainte. Le repas nous est revenu à environ 30-35 $ par personne (avant tip), ce qui nous a semblé incroyablement abordable pour la qualité & la quantité servies. & bien sûr, cela nous a simplement donné envie de laisser un plus grand pourboire.

Côté confort, notre groupe était parfaitement installé sur une grande plateforme carrée entourée de petits bancs adossés aux bords, avec des coussins à disposition. Aucun mal de dos à signaler !

En résumé, nous avons eu l'impression d'être accueillies comme chez quelqu'un. Une expérience chaleureuse & mémorable que je recommande à 100 % 💛

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.
