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.

    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.

    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.

    1st time trying this spot after seeing it on a list of top 50 restaurants in Charlotte. The ceviche was spectacular and closest to anywhere in the states to what I had in Lima. Tostados de chorizo was another hit. Also had Arroz Frito and Short Rib entrees shared with a friend. Tremendous flavor is coming out of the kitchen. The front of the house team was friendly, interactive, and attentive. Will def be back!!

    I have visited this place four times and never disappointed! Food is great and consistent — it’s hard to pick because of how enticing each menu item is. I loved the mini arepas and ube pancake. They have good coffee too!

    Good ambience and decor, but that's about it. Food is ok and service is sub-par.
