Muraya

First time at Muraya and I loved it! The restaurant was full on a Saturday night and they had a live band which was awesome. The ambiance was great but it was noisy inside. Didn't bother me, but may not be the greatest place to have lengthy conversations if you don't feel like yelling. I loved the food and drinks. I ordered the short rib as my entree, which was amazing! I mean so tender and flavorful I'd order it again in a heartbeat! I also tasted the empanada, sushi and Branzino - all very good!I also enjoyed the mapaya, it was so flavorful. If you're considering a visit, do it!

We ordered the Short Rib Sandwich and the Calentado Criollio from the brunch menu. The food was presented nicely, but I think a little overpriced. The sandwich tasted good, I'd give it a 3.5/5. The Calentado Criollio was quite bland (2.5/5). Inside of Muraya is pretty and dimly lit for the ambiance. Would be a nice atmosphere for dinner. The service was average.Parking is difficult in the area (it is clt). There's a lot next to the restaurant but it's expensive. Otherwise you can find 2hr paid street parking and walk to the restaurant.

I've been trying to get to Muraya for a long time and it finally happened! If I could give it 10 stars, I would! This place is a gem!The staff is amazing, attentive and gives great recommendations! The food was phenomenal - seasoned and cooked to perfection! The drinks were crafted with superb artistry by their mixologists! And calling this was done in an environment that was top notch! There was a variety of patrons - date night, dining with friends, celebrations... it was an all around great experience and I cannot wait to go back!

Came here on Valentine's Day and can't wait to come back on a non holiday. Everything was amazing! Feedback from me & my Colombian husband: we wouldn't hate seeing some dishes without the fusion or upscale tick in every aspect. I'd prefer the small plates to be a smaller portion and cheaper - so we could order more and try more things, but the portion sizes were larger & therefore the cost not making that feasible. Empanadas were okay and just too big. What we loved: I lovedddd the pork chop, my drink was like a dull experience of cool different taste mixtures with every sip, and the pandebono always hits.

In the heart of Charlotte a piece of Barranquilla Columbia can be found, with an amazing ambience and live Latin rhythms that will burn off those calories that you will start consuming! Had reservations and was seated immediately the service from the host to the waiter, to the servers was the most efficient and expedient service. The food was amazing had the ceviche a few tapas and the octopus and it was all mouth watering!

Went here for a friends bday dinner, all of our first visit there. It was restaurant week so had a special menu for that where u get an app, entree and dessert. My main dish was a half chicken and it was absolutely delish. I wasn't a fan of the bread pudding dessert however, I wasn't expecting it to be soft and fluffy and warm, but wasn't. They do have live music on the wkends which is a a whole vibe. There isn't a private parking lot, but there is paid parking right across the street or can take the light rail for a cheaper option. Overall I would go again, loved the atmosphere.

Muraya is a fantastic spot for a memorable night out! I went with a friend for dinner, and we had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, with live music that set the perfect mood. Their drinks are strong and well-made - just what you want when you're out for a fun evening!I had fried plantains with a delicious chicken dish, along with some tasty appetizers to start, and everything was full of flavor. The food, music, and overall vibe make Muraya a must-visit. Highly recommend if you're looking for a place with great food, drinks, and atmosphere!

Definitely recommend checking this place out for brunch! The food is very esthetic. They place a focus on plating, which I really appreciate coming for a brunch/lunch service. The food is filling! It was everything I wanted in a Sunday brunch meal, and it will lead you a nice Sunday afternoon nap. I recommend ordering different things off the menu and splitting it so you have the chance to try everything! Service was great. Very friendly.

Calentado Criollo (5/5): A great combination of so many different elements. The chicharrón (fried pork belly) was my favorite part by far. The crispiness gave way to a nice, meaty chewiness that I really enjoyed. I also liked the mini arepas which had a crispy exterior and fluffy, grainy interior. The chorizo and fried plantains were both fine as were the rice and beans (I wished it was a little more flavorful). Chicken and Waffle Tacos (2/5): This took the chicken and waffles idea a little too far. The creme, dulce de leche, berries, and waffle cone were GREAT together as a sweet dish, but the fried chicken was completely out of place. If it was just a sweet taco with the chicken on the side it would've been a lot better.RATING SYSTEM5 - Great (Need to get this again)4 - Good (Would get this again)3 - Ok (Might give this another shot)2 - Not Good (Won't get this again)1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this)

The food was top notch! Hit after hit!! 10/10. The word for the night was WOW. Great service, great food, and great environment! Can't wait to go back!
