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.

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.

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.

This was our second time at Muraya and it was just as good as the first! We had the same waiter, Ricky, and his high energy is awesome! Food selection is amazing and the cocktails were also a huge hit.

The server was not attentive and the “ceviche” was fried … which was not especially clear. The ambience is nice but the parking is a real issue! No close street parking - just high pay parking lots.

Owner of Orosoko here. Had a large party birthday dinner last night and everyone enjoyed themselves. Great food (the empanadas were stellar!) and the servers and hostesses did an excellent job on a very busy night. The live music was a great touch. Glad we’re neighbors!
