willing Cab
willing Mahane Yehuda as well
also willing to go somewhere on route from the Kotel to Herbert Samuel like Mamila mall if there is anything new there?

I wouldn't recommend staying at the Herbert Samuel

Also
What is the best Food in Jerusalem?
(Good Hashgachot Only)

Top 3 Dairy in Jerusalem?

Top 3 Meat in Jerusalem?

This is tough. I’ll answer based on my experiences.

Dairy -
Rimon, Lucianna & greggs, in no specific order. חבה in the shuk is great I’ve eaten from their full menu once otherwise got their breakfast menu, but def goes into top 3 just not sure which of those 3 classics I’d take out. I’ve heard great things about ahavat hayam but I’ve never been there. Random mentions - happy fish in mamilla is now rabbanut mehadrin iinm, fresh in mamilla & tahana rishona are pretty good & pizza fiore in tahana rishona was also good. Hasandak in the shuk good basics at decent prices.

Meat -
Lehem basar - great food but I’ve gotten bored of their menu.
Red heifer - great food but expensive. Was very happy both times I was there this year.
Skyline would be everybody else’s pick in top 3 but I’ve had bad experiences there so it’s out for me & instead I’d say roza.
Random mentions - grill bar of course. Tommy’s. Hatch in the shuk craft beer & sausages - loved it.

Figure that out first and you'll have your answer.
Lechem basar if no, Crave if yes.

I’m actually curious what you heard about mehuderet that you were okay with it. I’m asking 100% respectfully as it’s clear that you have a standard that you keep to & from your research you felt it’s okay.

Paparazzi?
It's not a hora'a l'rabim. I spoke with people I was comfortable with as well as the owner and limited myself to just 2 specific dishes.

I guess you call yourself the paparazzi

, I only know you ate there from you mentioning it here or on ms don’t remember which. I wasn’t taking it as a horaa, I still haven’t eaten there, was just curious what info you were able to get that made you comfortable with it & I guess it wasn’t so simple.

He doesn’t mention eating there. Mentions hechsheirim on DDMS & asks about the hechsher numerous times on DDF

Bottom line is that most mehadrin places in Israel do not compare to the US. It's a different scale.
