" Merkavá was recommended by a friend, and it was everything I hoped for! The authenticity of the Israeli fare was incredible, and the roasted cauliflower is a dish not to be missed. The atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, although I did find the service a bit slow. Still, I’m glad I went and look forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Merkavá on a recent trip and absolutely loved it! The spread of salatim is a must-try, full of fresh, delicious flavors. The service was quick, but I can see how it might slow down during peak times. I look forward to coming back to try their other dishes—I heard great things about the lamb shank! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about how incredible the food is at Merkavá! The mezze platters are a fantastic way to sample a variety of traditional dishes, and the flavors were magnificent. The atmosphere is vibrant but still cozy. My only complaint would be the service could use a bit of a boost—they seemed busy but not always focused on our table. Regardless, I would absolutely return just for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very nice dinner at Merkavá while visiting CDMX! The food was fresh and authentic, which made me feel nostalgic. They really do focus on quality ingredients, which I appreciate. The setting has a nice vibe, although it got a bit noisy at one point. Service-wise, it was decent but could be speedier. I would suggest this restaurant to anyone missing Middle Eastern fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" An incredible experience! I loved every dish we tried at Merkavá, especially the vibrant, fresh salads and the delightful pita bread that comes straight from the oven. It truly captures the essence of Israeli cuisine. The service may have been a bit slow during the rush, but the flavors were worth the wait. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends!

" This place is simply phenomenal! We had the best time at Merkavá. The food was deliciously robust and brought out the true essence of Israeli cooking. The waitress was accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. The only drawback was the noise level when it got busy, but the overall dining experience was very positive. I will definitely come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Merkavá is a must-visit! The authentic flavors and the quality of food impressed me. The eggplant hummus was exquisite, and the service was welcoming. There was a slight wait for our meals when they got busy, but the quality more than made up for it! Tips: Definitely try the desserts—they are creative and absolutely delicious! " (*Curated Review*)
