    Nigerian meatpie
    Cecilia O.

    The parking lot is a tight fit. But this cute adorable resturant. The temp was a tad high maybe the ac broke this day. The server was lod, the service was quick. I love that it is family owned. We had a couple of things here and the food was delicious, this was my first time trying and I want to try more items.

    This is Fufu & Egusi stew with their Chapman drink. 10/10
    Alyx P.

    Last time I was here was back in May and I had a craving for it today, and to my surprise, it's even better than it was before!! Their Chapman drink is also like nothing else I've had, very very good!!

    Okra- very little stew and almost exclusively bone turkey
    Bee D.

    Not good value for the price. I have been here twice in the past 6 months and the meat (I have ordered chicken, beef, and turkey) is particularly disappointing -85% of it is bones. This 2nd visit I got the okra and they were very stingy with the stew (didn't seem like more than a table spoon). Fufu was cold. Flavors were decent but for approx $28, after tax this was a rip off. Tempe is a bit of a hike for me, but Nedu's kitchen does a way better job. **They also charged 11.8% tax on the total, which is pretty darn high

    53.66 for 2 very small plates. 1 piece of chicken and a small amount of egusi (the egusi barely had palm oil) and 1 pounded yam.
    Alex

    1. The pounded yam was not even IYAN! It was a regular potato pounded to imitate IYAN! 2. Look at this small meal for $53 this is robbery! 3. The egusi barely had palm oil and was very watery and tasted like it sat in a pot of water! 4. The chicken was so dry it was sooo sad that on my birthday I drove from EPhoenix to come here what and very terrible thing to do to someone. I'll never return. This place can improve on plate sizes make the plate size match the price and cook the egusi correctly. If you're tired of short on ingredients DONT open shop!

    Amala and gbegiri

    I visited Agege Bites my first time in the Phoenix area and it was more than I expected, I had Amala and gbegiri and had a to go of white rice and ayamase stew and the food did not disappoint, portions were also filling so that was really good for the prices. The reception was very friendly and the restaurant had enough space for a dine in so that was also good as I had to wait for my uber. It had elements of Lagos from the Ayo, ludo games and books, it was lovely to see the cultural element and all made the ambience feel like home. But all in all, asides from food, they also had clothing merch so i indeed had a lovely time being there, a must visit also if in the area.

    My teenagers are all about TikTok and this place didn't disappoint! Total win and the girls got to try new food from a new country. Everything was sharable and yummy!

    Extra meat. Lol

    Agege Bites is for people who've never eaten Nigerian Food. Pros: 1. Friendly staff. Cons: 1. Reviews from people trying nigerian food for the first time. Someone said "very similar to Caribbean and Spanish flavors mixed with habanero spices". Christ. The only similarity between west african food and spanish food is plantain and the use of rice. Gotta love Arizona. 2. Tried the Egusi Soup (3.8/10): This is the type of egusi soup that aunties in a village make 10 year olds make. Heavily stew based; not an ounce of palm oil. And this $25 meal comes with 1 piece of meat. If you want to know what egusi looks like..look up "Calabash African Kitchen" in vegas. That place is ran by a chef who gives af about providing customers with authentic food. 3. Tried the Suya (2/10): They got the flavor right but the texture is fucked. Suya meat shouldnt be wet. And it was missing Onions. $20 for a palm full of this crap. 4. Tried the puff puff (6/10). Decent but not much flavor going on. Needs more sweetness. Atleast the texture was correct on this one Summary: Paying high prices for an abysmal attempt at nigerian food will leave you sore. A spot like this in NYC wouldn't last a week. If you've never had west african food then you probably wouldn't mind this food. You truly wouldn't know any better but believe this...the real thing is 50x better.

The spices and "soups" (more like stews) are exotic, similar to Indian food in presentation, but very different in how the meats are prepared. Traditionally, you eat the soups with fufu. I would describe fufu like a thick, glutinous, fairly bland, root paste used as the delivery vehicle for the soup to your face instead of a fork or spoon. No utensils! Fingers only and it makes the experience even more fun. The fufu pairs perfectly with the soups and is very filling. One entree easily makes for leftovers. I believe the African goddess that cooked and delivered the food to our table is the owner. She knew it was our first time and you could feel her care in the preparation and her joy in explaining the best way to eat. The dining area has about a dozen standard diner style tables and there is a sink IN the corner of the dining room to conveniently wash your hands, before and after eating. This no frills, locally owned treasure is a must try. If you are intimidated by new cuisines eaten in untraditional ways, look up "Egusi and Fufu" on your favorite social streaming app to learn everything you need to know. You will walk in with confidence. Regardless, the fine folks working here are also kind and eager to help and make recommendations. I'm posting with updated menu photos (Nov 2025). Prices seem to range $20-$25 per soup including the fufu. We had the Egusi and the Cassava Leaf soups. Both fresh, amazing and in my opinion a good value.

But, unfortunately for me my experience was the exact opposite . This location is set in the Tempe food court. So automatically I was turned off by the fact it's not personable no interaction with the actual creator or business owner . You have to order through a kiosk ( which I do understand the idea of conveniency culture .) But places like this deserve to be show cased . What I ordered was fried plantains, Ogbono Soup , with two pieces of chicken , poundo fufu, and two sodas . For starters , The plantains were a bit undercooked, the soup was lacking flavor very ( oily , had no other contents but broth and the chicken ) so what was advertised on the menu looked NOTHING like what I got , no fixings such as ( no okra , the peppers etc) . The chicken was dry and it didn't taste fresh at all , it had this peculiar after taste I couldn't quite put my finger on. Overall I wasn't at all satisfied with my food and I'd say this meal in particular wasn't worth the $51.00 whatsoever. I want to say I stand firmly on supporting black businesses, but I won't lie about my experience. I'd say i would give this place a second try and at least come back to try the Jollof rice since that seems to be their top seller as it was sold out .

We have also ordered Egusi soup with fufu, Efo Riro and goat pepper soup. One thing I have noticed is I have not taken pictures of their plates! I will be back with an update to this. The Tempe food court location is nice. Easy to place and order, sit and eat, and or pick up and go! They still take phone orders. Highly recommend you try them out!

The space has a classy, mid-upscale vibe definitely giving "bougie" in the best way while still feeling comfortable and inviting. We visited on a Saturday, and the live music was phenomenal. The musicians played a great mix of current songs, which created an amazing atmosphere throughout the restaurant. The staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. I also loved the thoughtful touch of offering personal handheld fans to guests if they got warm. The bar was another standout. I really appreciated that the cocktails are crafted using African or Black-owned liquors, making the drink menu feel unique and intentional. If you don't drink alcohol, they also have a wonderful selection of mocktails and natural teas, so there are plenty of options for everyone. The food took a little longer than expected to come out, but nothing unreasonable. The portions are generous, and the prices are fair for the quality and amount of food you receive. We ordered the oxtails, jollof rice, broccoli, peri-peri chicken, and pineapple chicken. Everything was delicious, especially the oxtails and jollof rice. My only recommendation is to be prepared if you're not a fan of spicy food the piri piri chicken definitely has some heat. Since they don't offer ranch or similar cooling sauces, just keep that in mind when ordering. Overall, Latha offers more than just great food it's a full experience. Between the beautiful atmosphere, live music, welcoming hospitality, thoughtfully curated drinks, and flavorful African cuisine, it's a restaurant I would absolutely recommend. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!
