Walima Cafe, on Danforth near Coxwell, surely is a break from the mundane. Moroccan fare in a relaxed but eclectic interior (ornamental trinkets are here and there, and... everywhere), and at very reasonable prices, makes it a nice change of pace and the place to be for mint tea, great food, and Al Jazeera TV.
