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.

    Great restaurant experience. The food, the service and the drinks were phenomenal. Had the short rib and the mini arepas among many others tapas and everything was outstanding. Planning to come back with friends and family already for their birthday. They have live music and great desserts. Definitely recommend this place and to get reservations as they get busy on weekends.

    I recently celebrated my birthday at Muraya and I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. Now, the food !! Each dish we ordered was exquisite and well prepared. They surprised me with a complimentary dessert for my birthday !! Coming back for sure.

    Great restaurant experience! Definitely bringing my family to try the brunch menu. Already a favorite of mine in Charlotte. Service was excellent, the kitchen also does a great job with flavor and presentation. I loved that they have live music on weekends. The Limonada de coco and Bronx Old Fashioned are a must if you’re visiting this spot. Thank you to the Muraya team for a great time.

    Una experiencia desagradable! Desde que llegamos no teníamos la mesa de acuerdo a la reserva que era a las 10:30pm, como a las 11:30 nos sentaron en la barra que no me pareció porque yo reservé con meses de anticipación y pagué por mesa! Después nos pasaron a una mesa con mala gana. Decidimos pedir todo para que no se demoren y lo primero que llegó fue el plato principal y la entrada no llegaba hasta que llegó y unas empanadas que pedí estaban incomibles, que desagradable sabor! Los meseros pésimo servicio al cliente, hubo cero organización y por último el postre lo llevaron casi a la 1:20am y ya con esa mala cara y mal servicio no disfruté el postre lo único es que quería irme de ese horrible lugar! Para mi experiencia el restaurante es el peor de todo charlotte!

    The NYE curated menu lacked flavor from some dishes. Adding a pinch of salt helped honestly. I would open the smaller menu up for only late night reservations. I was excited to eat from the full menu hence why my reservation was much earlier than the late NYE party goers.

    We showed up for our reservation, sat down and found out that they had a different menu for new years eve. This was not noted on their website at all. We drove 30 minutes to get there, spent $14 to park and didn't even stay. There were many items on the menu that we planned to try and none of them were available on the alternative menu. Very upset and disappointed. We left and had to fine somewhere else to have dinner on New Years Eve. Management should do better.

    Unfortunately, the experience was less than ideal. A HUGE disappointment for NYE. Firstly, there was no indication there would be a limited menu tonight. 2/3 of the people in our party don’t eat pork or beef so there were very few options available. The food itself was okay. Additionally, we as a party of 3 were charged a large party gratuity fee of 22%. The service wasn’t bad. Overall, after this experience I would not return and would not encourage others to visit this restaurant.

    Food was excellent. Imaginative dishes without sacrificing taste for form. Team approach to service worked well especially on a busy New Year's Eve night.
