    Arroz con pollo

    Honest review::: Muraya has a fantastic ambiance with excellent live music that really sets the mood. However, the food quality didn't quite justify the high prices, and the service felt let down by the waiter's expectation of a large tip on a modest bill. It certainly doesn't live up to being a Colombian restaurant. I requested for "aji picante" or home made hot sauce, first waiter didn't even know what that was. Second waiter was nice enough to help and ask the chef what can he prepare or serve me, waiter came back with regular hot sauce and sriracha. Talk about disappointing for this type of scale of restaurant. Check out Los Paisas or Mi Tierra, excellent food and reasonable prices.

    Pan de Bonos
    Kaivona P.

    Absolutely loved my experience here. It's a beautiful space and these live vocalists made us want to sit way past our meal was over I wasn't a fan of the Pan De Bonos. My friend liked it. To me it tasted like sponge bread with Greek yogurt (the sauce it comes with) wasn't pleasant to me. We asked for another garlic type of sauce and they brought the sauce that comes with pork belly and that was great (it was a tomato garlic, green sauce) That sauce was so good . I had it with steak and eggs. Honestly preferred that over the chimichurri. My steak and eggs were absolutely fantastic. I added maduros and avocado . And it was so worth it. The dish seemed incomplete with just the potatoes and eggs. My friends had the Calentado Criollo and they thoroughly enjoyed it. Overall, I would come back. Service was very pleasant. My friends said that this spot is preferred for brunch and not dinner . Either way Sunday Brunch for the win.

    Craving Latin fusion that's so good you'll want to come back for more? This spot is a must-try. I went back for a second time just to confirm my first impression, and they are consistently fantastic. Service is outstanding! They're not afraid to get creative, like letting you choose between Argentinean or Guatemalan rum for their incredible mojitos. For the ultimate experience, ask for Ricky; he's the drink and food whisperer who will guide you to all the best menu items. And if you're celebrating a birthday, be ready to feel like a celebrity. As a special touch, photographer Dina captures a great shot of your group and gives you a framed photo--a perfect keepsake from a memorable night. You'll definitely want to come back for another round.

    We really enjoyed the overall dining experience. The food was fresh and tasty. Our waitress was very attentive and she made sure our overall experience was pleasant. The brunch menu had just enough options so it wasn't overwhelming. Also the band was incredible! The only downside was the hostess experience. The young lady acting as hostess was not very communicative. She took my name and really didn't give clear instructions or expectations and walked away. I had to return to the desk to get clarification from the gentleman that was working. Considering it was very busy and people were everywhere, clarity is extremely important. Fortunately this did not put a damper on the whole experience. I look forward to exploring the dinner options!

    NYE menu - Salmon dish
    Ebony P.

    Beautiful space, staff are extremely pleasant and very friendly. Went on NYE, so there's a special NYE menu. I ordered the salmon dish and it comes with a charred corn velouté and a sweet corn tomalito. Personally, I'm not a fan of the tomalito but that's mainly because I don't like cornbread or cornbread things. Everything was great! From being able to make a reservation online, to the friendly staff at the host stand when you arrive, to the excellent server that we had, to the additional weight staff that came by to check on us... Would definitely return!

    Steak & eggs
    Chasity A.

    I visited Muraya really excited to try the pistachio pancakes, but I was disappointed to learn they don't come with any side proteins and even when I asked to purchase a side, it wasn't an option unless it was a shareable plate. Because of that, I ended up switching to the burger with a fried egg added. It was just okay, nothing memorable. My sister ordered the steak and eggs medium-well, but her steak unfortunately came out well-done. On the upside, the cookie butter iced coffee was actually very tasty. Another thing to note: there is no parking, and the lot across the street was $18, which definitely wasn't ideal just to enjoy brunch. What truly made the experience better was our waiter, Gianna. She was exceptionally attentive, detailed, and patient when explaining each dish. Her service was the highlight of our visit and really showed what great hospitality should look like. Overall, mixed feelings about the food and parking situation, but the service thanks to Gianna was excellent.

    Sushi
    Tatiana H.

    We went with a large group of about 8 people so we ordered darn near everything on the menu. New York strip steak, rice and beans, plantains, sushi, red snapper , two bottles of wine, cocktails, shrimp, empanadas, a brownie, and a pistachio cake. Everyone enjoyed our meal, our server: Ricky, was great, and the drinks were tasty. I appreciated that they had a high chair for my baby with a table attached. Most restaurants have high chairs that don't have a table attached. We had a great time. They do have a 20% automatic gratuity for large parties and parking is pretty rough in this part of town so you'll want to take an Uber or public transit.

    I can't wait to come back here again! We had such a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in it was amazing. We went to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday and had such a great time. I would definitely recommend not only making a reservation but going earlier because in the evening it fills up quick once the music starts. I loved how everyone including the manager dropped by to check on us. I wasn't a fan of the salmon taquitos only because I was hoping some parts would be warm and it's mainly a cold dish. On top of that all the sauces was just a bit of an overload for me. However everything else was sooooo good especially the Barranquillero and Pulpo Cartagenero. At first I was hesitant with giving feedback on the salmon taquitos when the manager dropped by, but I appreciated how understanding he was and his openness to how to improve on certain dishes. We can't wait to come back and try more soon!

    Pandebono
    Krissy W.

    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.

    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!

    Empanadas
    Neema B.

    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!

    The live music was great and the drinks were good. Unfortunately, the food is stale and bland. I ordered this shrimp dish attached and was very disappointed. My entire table was disappointed with their meals. Our waiter randomly offered us around a shots at a discount and we accepted, but when the ticket came, he charged all of us full price. When one of my guests told him that we were charged full price, he got extremely defensive and said he did not. Maybe he thought we were intoxicated and didn't remember? We felt scammed, we were never planning on ordering more alcohol until he offered it at a discount.

    The food here is amazing! The dishes we got were seafood based and it tasted fresh! We got two cocktails too that were very tasty! Perfect spot for a date night or girls night out

    It was very loud inside. Hard to have a conversation. Unimpressed by food. Expensive, which would have been ok if I enjoyed it.

We waited for a while, but no one came over or explained where we should sit. Eventually, I went to the register and told the waitress that it was our first time there and asked if we could sit anywhere or if there was a specific process we needed to follow. She acted as though she did not speak English, which made the interaction uncomfortable. However, when I went to pay our bill later, she spoke English very clearly. Throughout our entire visit, she never introduced herself, checked on us, or offered us drink refills. What was especially disappointing was feeling as though we were being treated differently because of our appearance. I am from Brazil, and I know that if someone visits a Brazilian restaurant or business, we would make an effort to welcome and assist them regardless of their background or the language they speak. I can speak some Spanish and understand it when spoken, but I should not be expected to speak Spanish simply because I may look Hispanic. The one positive interaction we had was with the gentleman who brought our food. He was very kind, friendly, and welcoming. Overall, we felt invisible for most of our visit. The food was excellent, and we would recommend it based on the food alone, but the customer service definitely needs to be addressed.

The last time I ordered it - it was more so vegetables with 2 teaspoons of broth, some rice and old fried yucca. If you look at the photo - I believe you can tell the yucca looks like it'd been in the fridge for days and they just threw it in there for good measure. The waiter didn't smile and generally looked miserable to have to deal with me. I asked for hot sauce that never came.
