About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
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.

    My brunch was awesome. The short rib sandwich was an amazing entree. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. Some of the best short rib I've ever had. And when combined with the delicious bread that it came on, it was truly a great entree. I swapped out the truffle fries for the basic fries. But the basic fries weren't very good, so I sent them back and got the parmesan yucca fries, which were delicious. I was so please that they were willing to accommodate this double swap with no problem. The server, Humberto, was great. I also had him when I came there the first time for dinner a few months ago, and he was really good then too. Overall, this was a great experience with great food and service, and I give it five stars across the board. I also like this place enough that I am planning to have a social dining event there soon. I'm glad Charlotte is blessed to have this restaurant!

    I had a lovely experience . I dined solo . I arrived at 11 am upon opening on a Sunday. I highly anticipated my brunch outing. I sat outside and had acqua panna water and the Papaya Bellini as I perused the menu. There were so many fantabulous options I couldn’t quite decide. Humberto recommended the Calentado Criollo and it was the BEST decision! I had a variety of Colombian options to try. The variety included Colombian chorizo, crispy chicharron, rice & beans, mini arepas, fresh avocado, sunny side up egg & pickled onions! 10/10 food taste, food quality & service were amazing! I’ll be back with friends & family for sure

    Absolutely a non expected and siga ding experience. The mix of Colombian flavors and ingredients was sensational even for two of us Colombians and our two dear American fiends. What a great night with increíble food and music, a few dancing and great environment. To the owners of Muraya, thank you for a such marvelous experience.

    Food was mid. I ordered the short rib sandwich but honestly the short rib tasted like beef chuck not like short rib. The quality of the food wasn't worth the price.

    Food was ok. Not a fan of the fusion sushi. Would go back to try some of the authentic dishes though.
