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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Muraya Restaurant offers a vibrant atmosphere with live music that makes for an unforgettable dining experience. Guests rave about the "excellent food" and "great service." While the noise level can be high, the outdoor patio provides a more relaxed setting. Sushi, cocktails, and Colombian dishes are highly recommended.

Tostadas were drenched in a tamarind sauce and you couldn’t taste anything but the sauce. Couldn’t eat it. Server was very nice!

When you book a reservation, it allows you to book at the bar however, when you get there, they tell you the bar is first come first serve so basically we did not have a place to sit. if this is first come first serve, it should not be an option to be able to reserve the bar. Food is OK. Will probably never go back.

Overall a very disappointing experience. My family and I made reservations for dinner on a Saturday night. We arrived 15-20 minutes earlier than our reservation time and were seated by the kitchen entrance. When we asked the hostess if we could instead sit in a corner booth, we were told that this particular table was reserved. For the full duration of our dining experience (~1 hour), that table remained unoccupied. Aside from this, one of the dishes we ordered included potatoes that were significantly undercooked. When we kindly shared this feedback with a member of the staff (food runner?), he proceeded to respond as if he had to educate us on where this type of potato is grown and the fact that this is just how they are prepared. Respectfully, an undercooked potato is an undercooked potato! Our actual server never really checked in to ensure everything was good with our meal, which just added to the frustration. All in all, a pretty unfortunate experience considering we had been eager to dine here for a while. Not sure we will feel the need to visit again.
