Muraya, a culinary haven located in the heart of Southend, Charlotte founded by a charming couple with a deep love, for food, cocktails and hospitality. Our journey began with a heartfelt inspiration drawn from the vibrant city of Cartagena. Every dish we create is a tribute to its rich culture, mesmerizing colors, and captivating history.
At our restaurant, we pour our passion for Colombian cuisine into every plate we serve. With each bite, you'll taste the authentic flavors of Cartagena, lovingly prepared using traditional recipes and ingredients handed down through generations. Our mission is to transport you to the streets of this enchanting city, where the aroma of freshly cooked arepas and the rhythm of salsa music fill the air.
Just like Cartagena, our restaurant is a fusion of warmth and zest, creating an inviting atmosphere for you to savor unforgettable moments.

    Food was excellent. Service was annoyingly slow. Nearly 15 mins before greet and another 10’before order. Waited 30 mins after meal for server to return. That being said- the food and live music was incredible. Had the mini arepas/ short ribs and octopus. Delicious.

    Amazing tapas and dessert. Loud, fun, live bongo players, romantic atmosphere and artistic decor, friendly helpful staff! Making an OT reservation got us straight to our table during peek hours. I was just in town for work but now thanks to Muraya, CLT is on my list of Food Worthy Cities.

    We had a wonderful experience at this beautiful restaurant. The general manager took the time to introduce himself and offer thoughtful recommendations, which added a personal touch to our visit. Our server was knowledgeable, courteous, and patient throughout our meal. The food was exceptional, and the cocktails were outstanding. We rated our experience a four out of five due to longer-than-expected food service times; some guests received their meals after others had finished dining. However, our engaging conversation made this less of a concern. Overall, this is a lovely restaurant with remarkable cuisine, and we look forward to returning.

    I would eat here again ONLY at the bar, during lunch, or a very early dinner on a weekday. It took nearly 20 minutes for us to get water. She came over to us, said she would get us water, and then returned without water, and then finally brought us water… absurd. Food was ran at odd times- such poor coordination that the salad was delivered LAST. My friends ended up returning it because it got there so late that she forgot she even ordered it. We sat by the music/bongos, asked to move but they couldn’t, and it made the experience significantly worse than it would’ve been. The ambience and food were great and the location is amazing, but all I can think about is the poor service, how thirsty I was for so long, and how painfully loud it was. The manager came over to us to check-in which I always appreciate. I want to go again and I’m hopeful of a better experience, but definitely was disappointed in some aspects during my first visit.

    Ricky, our server, was amazing which made the overall experience 4/5. The food was lukewarm and not as fresh as I would have expected. We ordered 5 starters and 4 mains, the only great dish was the fried rice. The rest were just ok. Brunch mimosas were $40. We walked out and saw a sign for $20 mimosas next door. Even though the atmosphere and our server were great, I probably won’t go back.
