"Great place, great food. My family and I go here regularly as the rest of them are vegetarian. Merit successfully breaks the stereotype that vegan food protein is missing, and that the only thing that vegans eat is salads and is hands down one of the best restaurants in Santa Clara County. Food: I had most of their menus and it never disappointed me. The variety of specials they always leave something new to try to bring me back. Some of their dishes lack gravity and can be very dry, so if you order more than one dish, make sure that at least one engraving has. My favorites are the Spicy Delight and the Golden era, of which I would highly recommend to get if you have never before in Merit. Your desserts are all milk-free and ice-free, but you really can't say it; my vegan dessert exploits cannot hold a candle to the cakes they bake. However, they are frozen and in a refrigerator in the dining area that I really do not like to see, but at least they are open about it. Service: Service is always fast and all service employees are familiar with the menu. All waiting times are reasonable and I have never been hungry to regret the waiting period. Staff really try to help what I can't say about many of the restaurants I was. The ambience: nothing to complain. Everything is well lit, and there is always enough room to eat. Overall: If you are looking for a vegan restaurant that is slightly different than usual, or just a good restaurant in general, Merit is and always at the top of my list!"

"I have to say that I was impressed with the food. Specifically because Lafayette is a small city and not a melting pot like Houston, LA or NYC where you can find so many choices. I mentioned that the chef had to be from India, and my guess was right. When I tasted the food, I knew the ingredients were balanced in a way that whoever is cooking, he is someone experienced and had to be born in the Indian region where he can tell the exact taste and balance the spices that makes it delicious. Our waitress Allie was very nice, knowledgeable and helpful. She is a great listener and willing to learn. Lamb Biryani: The lamb was cooked to perfection. Very tender, great portion with respect to rice. Many places put 3 pieces and fill the whole plate with rice to save on cost and take away from the quality of the dish. My only comment is the riata should not be in a plastic cup. It took away from the presentation of the metal bowl. Butter Chicken: Sauce was equally balanced in respect to flavor. The creamy sauce was not too much buttery to the point where you can taste the butter and not too watery where you don't taste the main ingredients of the sauce. Chicken was soft and also cooked right. Some places you will eat the chicken and it has that little hard bite as if you're biting an undercooked steak fries. Samosas : Absolutely amazing, with the Tamarindo. Nan Garlic Bread: Delicious, dipping it with the butter chicken sauce was amazing. I would add the crispy bread Pappdum as soon as guests sit on the table. Ambience: I would invest a little bit lighting bulbs, decor here and there, some Indian music in the background to give that full experience. Entrance: Can be decorated better with Indian sari, vase, and accents. Overall, loved the place, keep up the quality of the food. Invest little more in the place and start working on some marketing strategies. This place has lots of potential. Highly recommended"

"Update 12 23 I went back for the Wednesday $6.99 enchiladas plate. Everything was really good the chips salsa were good as always, the cheese tacos were delicious! Eating in here is much better than takeout! It was really tasty. I even had to take a little nap afterwards Mediocre at best. I used to really enjoy El Chico growing up...but it just seems like their quality is going down, the prices are going up. First time ordering takeout here. I called in the order and was told it would be ready in 15 20min. Got there about 25 30min still had to wait inside another 10min. Anyway, I got the Juarez Combo dinner. The Enchiladas were very good, rice beans were pretty average. Chips Salsa had a great flavor just the right amt of heat I shouldve just stopped my whole order there. I just decided to get another dinner to try since I was craving Tex mex. I got the rodeo combo burritos. Seriously not impressed by ANYthing on this whole place. The side cup of beans rancheros was the best part. The burritos we're not good at all in my opinion. I've had better ones that were frozen. Both were shredded beef one was topped with sour cream sauce the other with queso. The sour cream sauce was not any good. The queso sauce was pretty good but the overall flavor of the burritos just missed the mark tasted like cardboard or something...looks good but didn't even want to save it for a meal tomorrow. I ended up throwing it away. Enchiladas tacos good Most everything else could use some serious improvements."
