Maray in Liverpool

Great food lovely atmosphere and friendly service.

food was delicious. Hostess was super friendly. fabulous time.

Wonderful birthday meal, such a relaxed atmosphere and great service. Can’t wait to be back!

We had lunch, food was so nice, waitress was very helpful with the menu, some new dishes added since we were last there

This was one of the nicest meals we’ve had for so long! The atmosphere in Maray is just lovely - contemporary and comfortable. The menu has a great selection of contemporary North African/Middle Eastern dishes, and great accommodation of different dietary requirements. It would be impossible to pick a favourite dish, everything went together so well, however the disco cauliflower was a huge treat. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and anticipated our needs perfectly. We spent a lovely evening there!

Really great vibe, super friendly staff, and food really delicious. Separate vegan menu provided as standard. Food just so tasty, particularly the disco cauliflower.

Good food but overpriced, service was not the best.

Our absolute favourite place! Great atmosphere, friendly team and amazing food. We are not vegetarian (and the meat dishes are fab) but we love the veggie dishes.

Bold Street has truly transformed into a go-to destination for food lovers. With every cuisine imaginable on offer, it's easy to see why people are flocking here. On our most recent visit, we stumbled upon Maray, a trendy spot that has made waves for its creative, globally-inspired small plates. Maray blends Middle Eastern influences with a modern twist, offering vibrant dishes that are full of flavour and flair. We decided to sit outside, where we could soak in the lively atmosphere and watch the world pass by while indulging in their signature Cauliflower Disco—a show-stopping dish. Imagine crispy roasted cauliflower tossed in a mouthwatering mix of tahini, pomegranate seeds, almonds, and fresh herbs. It’s a bold, delicious explosion of textures and flavours that’s not to be missed. For dessert, we couldn’t resist their bread and butter pudding. A comforting, yet elevated take on the classic, it hit all the right notes with its rich, buttery layers and just the right amount of sweetness. If you’ve never been to Maray, do yourself a favor—go! Yumska!

Great food, lovely mezze and dishes. Impeccable service. Thank you

Food tastes great, but it’s very overpriced. My wife and I spent £45 and left hungry. The baba ganoush and fattoush are criminally expensive considering the laughably tiny portions you get. The service and the taste of the food were great.

The food was good, but menu needs to be updated to achieve excellence again. Wine list after becoming really adventurous has returned to dull and generic.

Went on spec, on the basis of earlier reviews and it was such excellent vegetarian food that we went again with our daughter the next night. She has gluten intolerance and was brought a special menu from which to choose. Excellent, wish we lived nearer!

Food and drinks were lovely but service very lacking. Finished our main meals and enjoyed another drink. At this point we had decided that a dessert and another drink would be nice but after waiting 35 minutes for a member of staff to be on the floor and come anywhere near our table, we decided to just get the bill and leave. Will not be back due to service, might try the Albert dock one if we wanted to try the food again.

Food was delicious. Cocktails were super tasty too. Service was helpful and attentive. Personal fav was the disco cauliflower ❤️

Another lovely meal and great service.

The food and the staff are outstanding, and if you have a food allergy, they’re very thorough about it.

Food and service excellent. Great flavours and innovative. No loud music +++ just lots of chatting. The sounds of people enjoying themselves 👏👏👏

Not a bad word to say about this restaurant. The food is delicious especially the Disco cauliflower. The staff who served us were lovely.. really friendly and helpful at the same time as being super efficient. Would recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing food, didn't even get to try everything that we wanted on the menu so will definitely be back!

I only popped in because I was in town and I'd read that Maray had reintroduced the falafel wrap. They have and it didn't disappoint. Amazing!

Great meal, great staff , great atmosphere

Inspired vegan sharing dishes. Ordered too much. Excellent.

Outstanding Small Plate experience facing Albert Docks. Service was exceptional with staff taking time to explain dishes. Food as well presented as it was tasty. A taste of the Middle East and only 3 restaurants exist in the UK asking it unique.

One of my favourite places to eat, never disappoints, small plates packed with taste sensations!

We love maray, the food and service are always top notch! They still make an effort to adjust menus to keep flavours fresh and experiences new, whilst keeping the old faithfuls of disco cauliflower and sweet potato wedges in their perfect form! Always recommend to anyone looking for a tasty meal in the city! My absolute favourite!

Awesome. Fab vegan options. Recommend the falafel sharing platter and the disco cauliflower. NICE!

Absolutely delicious food and such great service. Highly recommend this restaurant

Just fabulous food. I haven’t been for a number of years and I was so pleased it was still as wonderful as ever.

Absolutely fantastic place. Fantastic food (especially the disco cauliflower)Fantastic service. Fantastic ambience. Highly Highley recommend

Maray on Bold Street is our favourite place to eat when we visit Liverpool. The quality of the food is absolutely outstanding!! Lovely service and atmosphere. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Liverpool.

From the minute we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff. As a vegan it’s rare to go out with friends and have so much choice. Also having a choice of food that I would not normally cook for myself. The photo does not do this food justice as you can’t capture taste in a photo. Everything we had was excellent. My non vegan friends loved the food too.

Amazing food and such a great atmosphere. Everything we had was a taste sensation ❤️❤️❤️

Joint Graduation meal for my daughter and her friend along with close family. Excellent food and service

Lovely food. Don’t let small plates fool you. Two to three plates each are more than enough. Disco cauliflower amazing. Staff were informative and helpful. Will definitely be back

Excellent range of vegan and vegetarian options. The food was the best quality I've eaten in a long time. Highly recommend

Always come to Maray Bold St. when I am in Liverpool. Food is great, something for everyone. Cocktails a bit sweet for me but that is a personal thing. Bread and butter pudding didn't need the caramel - see previous remark - but it was delicious. The sea bass and chocolate ganache dessert were excellent and the disco cauliflower is a must every time we go.

Really nice small plates, very imaginative. Good value for the quality and excellent friendly service. Highly recommended.

The service was excellent—friendly and attentive. They also offer lots of vegetarian and vegan options, which was impressive.

Excellent food and friendly service

Maray is a fantastic small plate concept. The team were professional, friendly and gave great recommendations. The food was exceptional in every way. A must visit if youre in Liverpool or Manchester

The best food we have ever eaten !!! We ordered a variety of dishes and all the flavours were delicious! We cannot stop thinking about the food we ate here. Highly recommend!!!

Had a lovely lunch at Maray Bold Street on a very dreary ‘Summer’ day. The food flavours were amazing and the portions very generous. The Georgian wine was delicious. Brilliant service was provided by our lovely waitress (sorry I don’t know her name). All in all, a very pleasant experience which I would recommend to others, especially when the weather is rubbish!!!

If you walk down Bold Street and pass Maray, you’ve made an error in judgment - Turn back you’re officially lost! The Disco Cauliflower is sure to bring even the most vegan oppressed meat eater into submission! A must try. The team are super friendly, knowledgable and consistent in their delivery. The kitchen is a well oiled machine and if I lived in Liverpool I’d eat here every night. Flavour explosion, great price, even better food. 10/10

Food is superb. Need to order at least 2 dishes per person as portion size is like an appetiser. Service is friendly. Be prepared to leave as soon as you have finished eating. The restaurant is fully booked back to back.

Really good food and really good service. Definitely recommend to have a nice date. A lot of vegan and vegetarian options and wines, different varieties and princes as well. Will definitely repeat.

Fantastic food. Always a good time here. The disco cauliflower and falafel plate are stand outs. 4 stars only because it’s a wee bit pricey. But is a great place to go with friends or a date and share!

The atmosphere of this cosy little restaurant is great, and you feel very welcome as soon as you enter! Dining solo I went with the Falafel share plate, the mixture of flavours, the hummus, pomegranate seeds, fresh salad, falafel was second to none! Accompanied by a fresh made pita I was taken to the clouds by this dish! I followed this up with the Chocolate and Coffee Ganache, quite decadent and rich in flavour but balanced well with raspberries and cream! As a vegan diner I was absolutely stoked with the meal… shout out to the incredible staff too making you feel comfortable!

Loved this place. I am not a vegetarian or vegan so had to be persuaded and now l am hooked. How do they make it taste so good. Extremely friendly and swift service. Loved every minute and shall return.

Fantastic place. Amazing, tasty, interesting food. Lovely staff. Can’t wait to go back

Outstanding food, great drinks and friendly, efficient service. The whipped goats cheese, lamb kofta and balklava cheesecake were highlights.

Hit or miss food. Ok service, not great. IMO, the reviews of this restaurant are better than the place itself. It seems like it's trying to be like Nopi/Ottolenghi but neither the food nor the service are great like those. Interesting, but a bit overpriced/touted for what you get.

Great find in a short stay in Liverpool! Food was delicious, staff very friendly and helpful! The famous cauliflower is really worth a try!

Dinner for 4. Really good food, reasonable price, great service. Would recommend.

Very nice expérience at Maray, service is professional and friendly, food (disco cauliflower) is just as surprising as good and to finish the chocolate dessert is worthy of a great restaurant. Thanks super team!

lncredible food. The freshly made falafel, the whipped goats cheese with pickled apple and the Disco cauliflower will stay in my food dreams! Can't wait to come back

Came in a group of 8 and was blown away by every single dish I tried. So much flavour and excellent choice on the menu for meat eaters and vegetarian. Disco cauliflower was divine. Hands down the best meal I’ve had in a long time. Please open a restaurant in Birmingham! Staff were very helpful and friendly also.

Really nice food, a bit different but excellent. Erin was a brilliant, very friendly and knowledgeable hostess, finding time to chat to customers without losing efficiency in service. We’ll be back!

Disco cauliflower...who knew!!! What great food 😋

Super delicious food, absolutely nice and competent service.

Never disappoints. It’s been the best restaurant in Liverpool for the last 10 years. Food unreal, atmosphere is unbeaten, perfect drink selection for wines and cocktails, great staff and overall favourite place in Liverpool for food. Apologies it’s taken me this long to review. Cute cocktail bar downstairs too. Small and intimate.

Great food, nice atmosphere, the service a little bit hit and miss, two girls who served us very pleasant, the lad who served a little bit surly ? Seating set up quite tight, but overall a good experience.

Delicious! Amazing cocktails and superb food. Hard recommend

Excellent, all round. We’ll be back soon.

First visit to Maray, although it's been on the list after reading reviews. Really interesting food and great flavours. The menu has plenty of choice, so most people should be happy. The service was excellent and the staff are knowledgeable about each dish. There's a good choice of drinks too. It was a really good meal at Maray.

Absolutely yumtastic....so delicious and lovely staff x

Love this place. Friendly, lively, great food. Great wines and beers. Solo diner. Felt completely welcome and well looked after.

Good food, a few really tasty dishes (disco cauliflower, falafel, chicken, pitta) and some mediocre dishes (crispy cod, lamb kofte). Overall a nice spot, delicious rose wine for £30. Bill was £122 for 3 people, waitress over explained how we shouldn't feel obliged to leave a tip, but after telling us so many times, we ended up feeling backed into a corner. Service was OK, drinks were slow, but food fast.

The best restaurant in Liverpool without a doubt. The disco cauliflower is iconic!

Dear me, I didn't even think I was that much of a fan of Middle Eastern Food - I was tempted in by the idea of Disco Cauliflower. Best thing, we were so full I had to take some home and eat it again today!!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! Wish I lived closer but I will definitely be back. HIGHLY recommend

May 24, Booked this place by accident. The link for Madre, in the article, 25 best Liverpool resturants, takes you to Maray to book. We didn't realise until we arrived. However, it turned out to be good. The food was different and nice. Some dishes were too salty, the chips, the spinach with the steak. The only dish which I felt had too much going on for my taste buds was the Broccali. The cauliflower bhaji were great. Battered sea bass, nice, but not outstanding. Staff were lovely. Atmosphere nice.

Very delicious food, nice attentive service, cheap compared to the area. The menu mainly includes vegan dishes, but steak/fish is also available The waiter very kindly and carefully asked if anyone had any food intolerances/allergies. I recommend the place, if I lived in Liverpool, I would be a returning guest.

What an exceptional experience I had at maray bold St.staff where all very helpful an attentive and made it a very relaxing evening for me.would highly recommend to everyone.

Fabulous restaurant. The food here is divine, beautiful tapas of middle eastern inspired dishes. Great atmosphere, cosy and romantic.

Excellent meal here. I've been to (all?) 3 Maray between Manchester & Liverpool and bold street was definitely the best one. Excellent food and top service, very attentive staff.

Excellent and fantastic, will definitely return soon

One of the best restaurants in liverpool, for sure my favourite and I usually try and go every year for my birthday. Tasty food, nice vibes, friendly staff - a must visit!

My friend & I enjoyed a lovely sharing lunch , with fabulous & friendly service . We couldnt finish the plates as portions , generous.We were kindly given a doggy bag , which was appreciated . Highly recommend , value for money , a wide variety of choice to suit all diets ,& tastes.

Only 4 stars on atmosphere because we went at a quiet time between lunch and dinner. Music, as always, great!

Ate from the vegan menu. Absolutely stunning food. Excellent value for money and the staff were extremely friendly!

The food at Maray is incredible! We've never had a bad meal there and have always left talking about how amazing the food looked and tasted. The staff were really lovely (as always!) and the atmosphere was beautiful. Highly recommend!

As always, Maray ever disappoints. The lunch menu is extremely good value and delicious and the service is friendly, never too much and always helpful.

We had a great night at Maray! Amazing array of dishes which were all delicious. Whipped goats cheese, the falafel and olives were real highlights. Delighted to find I could get a glass of champagne and the wine list was creative and delightful. The shelf to the side of the table was inspired! Thanks for a wonderful evening.

We had a phenomenal dinner at Murray. The disco cauliflower was a particular stand out.

Love this restaurant food is so delicious and staff really friendly always a very relaxed atmosphere and the disco cauliflower is to die for.

What a delightful gem of a restaurant. We loved it. Food delicious. Service superb. We didn’t want to leave! We had heard about Maray via a podcast and we were not disappointed. Bold Street is a super competitive place and I’m delighted that Maray is competing with the best. Will visit again. Just yummy. My photo is the disco cauliflower. It was delicious. Thanks.

Book a table and order everything in the menu, delicious food.. dont miss it out..

Brilliant! Will definitely visit again soon

We were recommended to go here by some "foodie" friends, and we were not disappointed. Everything we ordered was delicious, especially the cauliflower bhaji and falafel sharer (which is enough for 2 on its own). We ordered too much food (3 meze and 2 veg) and couldn't finish chickpea dish. Wine selection also great with all available by the glass, can recommend the Lebanese rose. We're veggie so was brilliant for us and also they have a full vegan menu.

Our favourite place to eat when in Liverpool. The food is amazing and the service is so good too. Have a seat at the counter if you can - it's so much fun. Alfie (hope I've remembered correctly) is so knowledgeable and passionate about the food and drinks - all of the staff are lovely and there is clearly great talent in the kitchen. Thanks so much - can't wait to come back again!

Thank you Mel & Jess for the amazing service! Fantastic spot for a date

Food was great as always - cauliflower disc is always a winner !!

Beautiful Sunday lunch - just delicious. 😋

Brilliant night food fantastic and a lovely friendly waitress. All good. Except the orange wine not for me everything else was brilliant. Very good value

Food was delicious as always, good size portions, nice chilled atmosphere for Saturday afternoon. Looking forward to going back again soon!

Celebrated my birthday at Bold Street. From the moment I booked the service has been exceptional. The food (& drinks) were fantastic. I cannot thank the staff enough! BRILLIANT and we will be back . Thank you

The only saving grace is the disco cauliflower, unfortunately the food was a massive letdown, which is surprising, given the reviews. We tried the chickpea dopiaza, which if you enjoy authentic South Asian/Middle Eastern food, it's tasteless. The service was also great but means little when the food is so bland. Pictured are the prawns which were also average. Unfortunate given we had such high hopes.

Great food, great service and great Disco Cauliflower

Since the first time I went to Maray & fell in love with disco cauliflower I have wanted to share with everyone I know & I finally got the chance on Saturday to share it with my sister. And true to my instinct she felt the same about the disco cauliflower & all the other food on offer as I did. The staff, atmosphere, food & drink were all excellent. It was fantastic to see the restaurant so busy.

Lovely food and service at this restaurant on our recent trip to Liverpool, it has a relaxing and easygoing place with great food
