Amazing food and even greater service. Great dishes served with passion and Tati's smile. The decor feels welcoming. The menu is extensive and well curated. The staff goes above and beyond. Tatiana in particular shines with her knowledge and attention to detail and passion about her craft. 5 star experience. Had a wonderful experience at Carta Ajena! The appetizer and main course were very good, but the dessert truly stole the show, beautifully presented and absolutely delicious (pair it with a latte). The overall food presentation was excellent, and the service from the staff was superb. Recommend you check this restaurant whenever in Cartagena. The is one of the best hotel experience I’ve had. The food, the drinks, the service, the aesthetics is top tier. The staff are so attentive and welcoming. I constantly felt well taken care of. Will definitely be coming back again just to stay here.

Had a wonderful time celebrating my 30th birthday here for brunch! They’re one of the few spots with a long brunch until 3 and I was very grateful. They made me feel special with a cake and my server Deli was very responsive and kind. 10/10! Came here from a recommendation on TikTok user: lifeofnxce

Eating and staying at OSH and enjoying the breakfast, lunch, or dinner experience at Carta Ajena was truly a great experience. For breakfast, Deli was an excellent waitress. She was very kind and helpful with all her recommendations. During lunch, Giannina, the Venezuelan girl, was also incredibly friendly and attentive. The tiradito with ice cream was WOW, out of this world; the crab tortillas and the arroz caldoso were beyond delicious. We will definitely return to this hotel and its restaurant!
