If you’re ever in Montreal this restaurant is an absolute recommendation! The interior and atmosphere is just so authentic and detailed. You take your shoes of and 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 and 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 and would definitely come back

Absolute gem! La Khaima cuisine has a limited selection of items to chose from in the menu. Each item we ordered were absolutely delightful and tasted authentic. Best lentil soup and mint tea I've ever had. Shout out to the owner that made our group feel welcome while visiting over the long weekend. He not only made our experience in Montreal unforgettable, but also offered incredible insight to the bagels through his baking background. Highly recommend visiting.

Wonderful dinner experience. Got the family style platter with assorted proteins. Came with lentil soup and a sweet mint tea at the end of the night. Great vibes. Make sure to wear socks as everyone took their shoes off in the dining room.

A hidden gem in Montreal, this Mauritanian restaurant offers an authentic African dining experience that transports you straight to the heart of the continent. The moment you step inside, the warm ambiance, traditional decor, and carefully curated atmosphere immerse you in a blend of North and Sub-Saharan African culture. The calm and welcoming environment, paired with a friendly and skilled chef and team, makes every visit special. The menu features rich, flavorful dishes, including perfectly prepared couscous and aromatic tea, served with a touch of Mauritanian hospitality. Whether you’re here for a casual meal or a cultural experience, the setting, food, and atmosphere make you feel like you’re sitting in a traditional African gathering, surrounded by the essence of both desert and savanna life.

Great experience and even better meal. The crew working were super friendly and examined the restaurant and how the menu or lack of menu works. The beef and 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 and 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.

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

It was Fantastic! They were really sweet and patient with my daughter and the food was sooo good! I am usually a picky eater but their soup and 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 and veggies to share between everyone (the plate on the picture was big and for 5 persons). Finally tea and 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

Absolutely amazing experience, gentleman who runs the restaurant was an absolute pleasure to deal with, offers gluten free and vegan options for his meals. Some of the best gf couscous I've ever had. Highly recommend the hibiscus drink he serves mid summer.
