We ordered two appetizers: whipped goat cheese (with black garlic honey, radishes, sumac, and chapati) and the griot wings (tamarind-glazed, which is the spiciest option), along with two entrees: the lamb griot (served with couscous and sweet plantains) and the oxtail barbacoa (served over their version of mac and cheese). Starting with the appetizers, I'd say these two were my favorites of the night. The chicken wings (5 pieces) were tender and flavorful, featuring a very unique spice blend. The whipped goat cheese wasn't overly gamey, it was perfectly creamy and paired well with the black garlic honey, which tasted a lot like fig jam. The homemade chapati was great too. However, the ratio of cheese to bread was a bit off. We heard a server asking the next table if they wanted more chapati, so we assumed an extra piece was complimentary. We later found out we were charged $6 for it, which was a bit of a surprise tho. As for the entrees, the oxtail barbacoa was the biggest oxtail I've ever seen. It was packed with tender meat and rich gelatin, and the radiatori pasta with gouda was wonderfully creamy and delicious. The lamb griot was a unique dish I hadn't tried before, while the portion of lamb wasn't huge, it was very good. The plantains were amazing and slightly sweet, making the whole dish incredibly flavorful. Overall, it was a really cool experience. The food is highly seasoned and flavorful without being overly salty like most restaurants, though it is definitely on the pricier side. Our server was very busy that night, so checking out took quite a bit of time. The atmosphere is awesome with great decor, merchs, and live performances. ps. The chairs are incredibly hard and uncomfortable, I couldn't sit in them for too long lol
LATHA is a unique culinary experience of a restaurant serving up some delicious pan-African cuisine. This spot is located at the historic Heritage Square in Downtown Phoenix where street parking will be your best bet. Inside, they have a cozy and homey feel with African-inspired decor. Wifey and I stopped by for brunch with a reservation and were seated right away. We ended up getting the Burnt Onion Hummus, Fried Chicken & Banana Rum Waffle, and the Steak & Eggs. Everything that we had was delicious! All of the staff here, including the owner, are all very friendly and welcoming. Definitely book your next table here for brunch or dinner and you will not regret it!
Torn on this one. I made a reservation for a group and requested to sit in the quietest area possible. We were set up at a lovely table on the patio-it was really nice. Road noise occasionally, but not terrible. The fragrance of the flowers, the misters and the occasional bird visitor added to the quaint charm of our experience. At first, the service was great. We had a couple different servers-seems there was some confusion on who would be taking our table-but friendly folks, regardless. The pacing of the drinks and the appetizers started out ok too, but over time started to slip. Drinks were forgotten, one person's starter didn't come out at all and our server became less and less available. When it came time for our main course, 4/5 people received what they ordered. When the wrong dish was presented to the fifth person, she recognized that it wasn't right an politely questioned it. The girl who was delivering the food (not our server) pushed back and said that it was pretty close, "it's fish isn't it?" No, we paid for an upgraded dish and this wasn't it. She had to wait another ten minutes to get her correct dish, while the entire group awkwardly waited and picked at their remaining appetizers to try to look busy. Drinks continued to wait...we were told that the bar tender was behind. No apology for the dish mishap, no acknowledgement when one person tried two bites of food and then pushed it away. (Turns out the corrected dish was rushed-overdone on the outside, underdone in the middle). I would have loved the opportunity to make it right, but staff seemed to vanish. It does have some great character and potential-maybe we just hit it on an off night.
Tonight we celebrated an amazing group of women at a fantastic dinner in DT Phoenix. Latha is "eat drink vibe". It's delicious, unique, flavorful, and beautiful, like those that run the business. Step into this old home transformed into a soulful place for family and gathering and delight. I had the Chef's Journey 3 course meal. Watermelon salad, oxtails, and pound cake. Sounds simple right? Served with chunky feta and perfectly ripe avo, the water melon salad was a solid start. Oxtails so tender the meat fell apart. The Mac n cheese with Gouda had a spicy kick. Pound cake served WARM with mango and cream. Hibiscus mule so good i had two. Oscar was our incredible server and the entire team was warm and so engaged! Go! Go there now! Valet parking out front was the cherry on top. Thank you for an incredible experience.
LATHA!!! Just an absolute VIBE with Mouthwatering flavor packed food!! I was invited to LATHA for a small birthday gathering, and it was so much more. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable. Our waitress was attentive and helpful with recommendations on what to order according to our palettes. Everything I ordered was amazing from my drink to my food and without the waitress keen input,I might of made the wrong choice. The ambience was a vibe!! Afro centric and chic, with beautiful outdoor dining and decor. They also had some good photo op spaces to take pictures. One last thing the owner was front and center assisting her staff and greeting and engaging with all who came,and that is something you don't always see and I would've never known until someone mentioned she was the owner! Thank you for creating a beautiful place for food,friends,family and CULTURE!! To anyone looking for fantastic food and vibe please go to LATHA!!
Had a wonderful time here for a Saturday night dinner. Tip for those coming, there's only valet out front with limited spots. I'd recommend parking elsewhere and walking over! Starting off with service, Jasiri could not have done a better job! His recommendations were fabulous and he was beyond attentive. Loved chatting with both him and the lovely owner! She came by our table twice and also gave some recommendations. Drinks were divine. I had the King Kiungo (per Jasiri's rec) which was delicious. Slight spice with some sweetness. Had the watermelon salad and goat cheese appetizers which were tangy and fresh to get us started! For my main, I adored the dayboat moqueca with salmon. Super flavorful with perfectly cooked salmon. The vibes outside were phenomenal with a live saxophone player, nice lighting, and pretty decor. Would be a lovely date night spot! I cannot recommend this place enough and am so excited to come back!
I was really excited about my 6pm reservation. I arrived early and sat at the bar and had a glass of wine while I waited for an old friend I haven't seen in awhile to arrive. Things started off pretty good. We sat right at 6pm. Service was really spotty. A woman was kind and quickly refilled our water. Our server took a while to arrive and greet us. As chefs we were there to both catch up on life as well as see what the hype is all about . Appetizers- out of the Agua Chile. We ended up starting with the whipped goat cheese and wings. Then ordered the lamb, shrimp moqueca, and the oxtail. Yes, three entrees for two people along with 4 glasses of wine and two starters. All good intended to be hot except for the wings came out cold. We asked for medium rare on the lamb and it came out mid well. They kept trying to remove our dishes during dinner- several time, while we still had food on the plates. Our server actually came and took my plate without my permission. He cleared our table and asked if there was anything else and we said we wanted to see a dessert menu. He instead brought us out check. We asked again for the dessert menu and he said they only had one dessert and it was a bread pudding. After reading other reviews I noticed this was just a lie to get us out. Can't think your guests are that stupid. We still had wine in our glasses and declined the one dessert. Been there exactly 1 hr and 45 minutes at that point. He came to our table almost immediately after and said he hated to be the bearer of bad news but the next reservation is here and we need to go. That's after we tipped him generously. Just a little advice- post on your reservation page you have a time limit, don't be rude, let people eat. Chicken was dry and over cooked. Food was seasoned well. Server left a bad taste... I hope my feedback helps.
Came here for my 3 year anniversary and what an unforgettable experience! From appetizer to dessert, each meal was made with heart and soul. I have no feedback on any of the dishes we ordered because they were that good. They take care of you so well. I love the ambiance and the option to choose from indoor/outdoor seating. I appreciate that their menu also has a range of vegan and gluten free options. Sorayyah, our host is a local artist who made the murals outdoors. She gave us a sweet gift for our anniversary and also showed us the shop located inside. Everyone working there is so personable, it leaves a mark on you. 6/5 stars and would seriously come back again. Thank you so much for the best restaurant experience this year!
I really wanted to give this place 4.5 stars, but Yelp can be ass. This restaurant absolutely nails the things that are hard to teach: hospitality, atmosphere, and making guests feel welcome. From the moment you walk in, it feels less like a restaurant and more like you've been invited into someone's home for dinner. The cocktail program deserves its own shoutout. Every drink was thoughtfully crafted and easily some of the best cocktails I've had in the area. The service was warm, attentive, and genuine without ever feeling forced. As for the food, everything we ordered was excellent. The standout dishes for us were the goat cheese appetizer, the oxtail entrée, and the pound cake dessert. There wasn't a single dish that made us think, "we shouldn't have ordered that." At the end of the day, plenty of restaurants have good food. What sets this place apart is the overall experience. Great food, great drinks, great people, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. We'll definitely be back.
We celebrated a joint birthday dinner at Latha after hearing about it online, and it was absolutely delightful! We didn't spend much time looking at the menu before we decided we had to do the chef's journey 3 course meal. For the quality and amount of food you get it is definitely worth it. I also went with the wine pairing option as a little birthday treat. The ambience was warm and cozy. It felt like eating in someone's home. The decor was very nice and really captured the pan-African vibe. Lastly, the service was outstanding. Everyone was so personable. Our table had a happy birthday sign on it from the minute we walked in, and one of the co-owners came by to personally wish us a happy birthday and see how things are going. Then, they surprised us by gifting us bracelets with our Akan names based on the day of the week we were born. It was very special and informative!
Pro-tip: You can come here to claim the Chase reserve OpenTable credit. They offer discount discounted parking in the nearby garage. If there's something you're interested in trying, maybe call ahead to see if they have it as we were shocked how much of the menu they were out of. Highlights: Although it's very short for only an hour, the happy hour discounts are pretty good and the burger in particular was tasty. I also enjoyed the pork chop entree with the mashed sweet potato. Lowlights: When we arrived to get seated, a couple had just left and told the hostess that they've been sitting there and no one ever came to get their order - kind of a red flag to start the night with. I had looked at the menu ahead of time before deciding to come here and there were items like the wings and huli huli chicken that I wanted to try so it was pretty disappointing to find that they were out of them. Overall, I thought the food was very overpriced and I wasn't really blown away by the flavors or the textures of most of the items we ordered.
This is a great 'date night' place :). Parking is across the street and is valet- lot is not huge so Uber it if you can. It's $15 plus tip We love the vibe here- it's a house- so many small rooms for seating. We booked an earlier reservation so we basically had a room to ourselves- which was really nice. The menu is fresh and focused on foods and recipes that are African or Brazilian based so it's creative. For drinks, I ordered a Sauv Blanc $16 And hubs had a Brazilian beer $10 We also ordered the pimento cheese appetizer- that BREAD was amazing. For our entrees; I had the Peri peri chicken $34- excellent and perfectly spicy. And hubs had the Waygu flat iron $42 with mashed potatoes. We did not order any sides but there was plenty of food. My chicken was the star of the evening. Our Server, Taylor, took really good care of us, was personable and friendly We also enjoyed a chat with the owner and love that she makes the rounds to check on everyone. The patio is lovely- next time we will have to sit outside.
Latha offers a promising concept, focusing on contemporary pan-African cuisine. It is an "immersive experience where you celebrate and discover Africa and the African diaspora's diverse and delicious flavors." The vibrant, welcoming ambiance and generally attentive service set the stage for a great meal. Options that are vegan/can be veganized are clearly labeled. Same with GF options. However, more care can be taken with those who have dietary restrictions. For example, there was no substitute for the caramelized honey dressing for the salad. A squeeze of lemon ain't gonna do it. In addition, portions were off. The vegan moqueca was noticeably smaller in serving size than the dayboat moqueca. For a place that champions community, Moqueca can take greater care to make all dining experiences equal.

Our second Arizona Dining experience. Decided to try something new and different. We loved the historical house, decoration and decided to sit outside. We loved the entertainer outside, Coco Wason, we had better we listened to her for a hour between our first and second course. We must have asked between 30' and 40' after our 1st course came when our main was coming and the response was it is made from scratch, sorry I know this isn't McDonalds most restaurants like this you do make from scratch, LOL. How was the food it was tasty but for the three course it was 55 was reasonable, can't imagine paying the going standard menu for similar portions. Two hours for a three course was a bit long and the crowds were light and help never seemed to have any urgency. The final disappointment was they expected us to use our forks from first and second course for desert and than we had to ask for a spoon. For the one of the deserts. You decide should they have brought us a smaller spoon ? The highlight was Coco, she was great at least! read more

Latha has been on my list to try for a while now, especially since one day my sister & I were taking a walk downtown and passed by. They were closed, but the owner, Evelia, invited us in, gave us a tour and a sample of their Ethiopian Mule. Her hospitality and joy added to the allure of Latha, so we finally dined last night and it did not disappoint! There was live music & the place was bustling! The food, drinks and presentation was stunning and the staff are all so kind and helpful. Evelia stopped by every table to say hello and I love how passionate she is. So thank you Evelia and thank you, Latha. I will be back for brunch!! read more

Hear me out... Just Go! This place feels like home, where ever you're from, if you're... Us. It's for everyone, but for Us, it feels beautiful. I walked up thr stairs and was immediately greeted by the hostess. Don't want to butcher her name but she has a beautiful spirit and was so kind. We were only going for drinks so she seated me at the bar with Joyce. Sweet Joyce is so knowledgeable and gave Hubs and I an overview of all of their spirits. Her drinks are sooo tasty. If you get her as your bartender... lucky you! I had the rum punch and a marg, she had me super tipsy when I left. I'd go back for more of her drinks. She's such a beauty and her drinks are top notch. I love that most of their spirits are black owned. Phoenix doesn't realize how much we needed this place. Everything about it feels like home and I only had drinks. Just go. It's that good. I can't wait to go back. They didn't have many pescatarian options but the drinks made up for it. If you go, walk around and take in the space. You'll def feel the love and want to return. Before we left we had a shot of their house drink, it was strong and tasty. Just go, tell them Violet and Terry sent you!!! read more

Absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I walked into LATHA, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with a modern yet cozy vibe. The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Every dish was a standout! The flavors were bold, fresh, and beautifully balanced. You can tell there's real passion behind the cooking here. Whether it was the perfectly spiced entrees or the melt-in-your-mouth dessert, everything was simply unforgettable. This is the kind of place you keep coming back to and recommend to everyone you know. LATHA is truly a gem! read more

Went last night to celebrate my birthday, and there are no words that would do justice to how magical this experience was. So rather than try to adequately encompass it, I'm gonna keep it simple here and just.... Do yourself a favor and go here ASAP. Everyone there is so kind and the service was top notch. The live music was everything. The food was INCREDIBLE. The flavor pairings in the cocktails were so unique & delicious. And the gift they give you for your birthday.... Next level and so incredibly heartfelt. read more

We came for happy hour and loved our time here. The food was delicious, the pimento burger was what we both enjoyed and it is hearty and filling! My husband also enjoyed the wings and i started with the whipped feta which was rich and delicious. We both enjoyed well made cocktails and mocktails also. We sat inside due to the heat still, but would love to sit outside with their misters and live music on their patio during the evening, especially during fall & winter! read more

This restaurant is a good experience if you want to venture out and try some African ethnic food but you must be prepared that the chef has a particular way of prepared things. He does not change the items at all. The goat cheese spread appetizer is extremely good. I had the oxtails they were very good. It was some things that I didn't care about very much, but Everything was well prepared and presented very nicely. You definitely have to be prepared that they don't have your traditional, like soft drinks, or other things like that because everything is very authentic from the drinks to the decor to the menu. I enjoyed myself the staff was great. The owner is awesome. It's in a very, very great location, I suggest you try it Food Quality 5/5 Food 4/5 Location 5/5 Parking 4/5 Staff 5/5 Service 4/5 read more

Hi Gerald, thank you for your thoughtful review! We're delighted to…
I had such a wonderful time celebrating my and a friend's birthday during our trip to Arizona at Latha, a truly African diasporic experience! We came to Latha on our first night and were greeted by a live saxophonist! While we waited for our food we went to the gift shop, where we were asked our birthdays. During dinner, we were gifted bracelets dedicated to our day of birth or one that had a special meaning. The space is warm and welcoming and we were able to sit outside and enjoy the beautiful night. Evelia and her team were beyond hospitable, providing recommendations on where to go in Phoenix, complimentary shots and we were even able to meet the chef! The drinks and food were delicious and it will be on the top of our list the next time we visit! read more

The contemporary interior, vibrant exterior, live music on the patio (S/o to the singer she was electric)-I thought LATHA had it all. It really is one of the most unique restaurants we have in the valley if you consider what they offer and the great experience. I went with a group of 6. The consensus was our shared appetizers- fava bean hummus and whipped goat cheese were all very good. We did need to order extra bread for the table which was surprisingly more expensive than I thought. We all agreed that our entrees were underwhelming. I ordered the oxtail which was noticeably fattier than my other friends. After performing surgery to remove the fat I did feel that the meat was scarce. I wasn't blown away by any food specific. I was hoping for more spice and flavour. The zing and pep in the food didn't match the ambiance. read more

On Saturday we did a girls day! After watching Dreamgirls at The Phoenix Theater we stopped in at Latha for our 5pm reservation. We were sat down promptly and first thing I noticed is the beautiful decor and ambiance. The hostess was great & dressed to theme (Loved her attire). Immediately our waitress came over and she was great. She ran down the specials of the day and made her recommendations as well. For appetizers we ordered the watermelon salad which was big enough to share amongst three of us and also the whipped Goat cheese which was my favorite. My entree was The shrimp dish and it was sooooo good. The flavors were right on point and not too overwhelming. My friends ordered the oxtail dish which they LOVED! Everything was great and I cannot wait to return. read more

Hi MoShai, thank you for choosing LATHA for your girls' day out!…
I couldn't rightly give Latha anything less than 5 stars despite waiting an hour before we received our food. I'm sure it was an oversight and mix up in the kitchen, which happens but after a long day and being hungry in the moment I was extremely irritated. However, we were comped two appetizers and the service and exquisite Pan African flavors made up for it. The SERVICE! We went on a Sunday evening with no reservations and were able to get seating at the bar. The service was great. We felt welcomed and even got a tour of the restaurant by the owner. The AMBIANCE! Cool, quaint and intimate which I loved. Feels very exclusive and has a great vibe. The theme of the restaurant is showcased throughout with a warm and home like feel. There was a violinist playing music which elevated the experience all together. The FOOD! Amazing! As mentioned we were comped two appetizers, the whipped goat cheese and the watermelon salad. The whipped goat cheese was AMAZING. I absolutely loved it. I'm sure it will be my go to going forward. It was made with a black garlic honey which wasn't overly sweet but perfectly balanced with the pungent flavors of the goat cheese. The chapati bread that came along with the cheese was fresh, warm and melts in your mouth. The watermelon salad was refreshing but lacked the complexity of flavors that was present in every other dish. I order the Dayboat Moqueca which was divine. The coconut chutney pulled the dish together with perfect harmony. The fish was flaky and the rice grits were creamy with a nice texture and consistency. My husband got the awaze chicken, which was really good. The chicken had a nice smoke flavor and the spices were present. The portion of chicken was on the smaller side but was enough with the appetizers. The DRINKS! Great! Balanced! Unique! This is one of our new favorite spots, that we are looking forward to introducing our friends to. As the weather cools down will surely need to book reservations as more people get familiar with this gem. read more

The food was great. Definitely a twist on traditional dishes with some unique flavors and spices. The service was exceptional. The owner checked in on us several times throughout the evening and our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about the menu and made several great recommendations. Very cute chic atmosphere. They had live music tonight. Can't wait to go back and try out their brunch menu! Oh and don't pass up those appetizers. Watermelon salad 10/10... and they had a cute little shop in the store. Tons great items in there a definitely worth taking a gander through. read more

Hi Shanika, thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to…
Loved! If I could give this place 10/5 stars, I would. Everything was amazing. They were very accommodating even though we changed our mind at the last minute and wanted to sit outside. There is live music that's outside on the weekends. Everyone we encountered were so kind and friendly, it's really a community effort of service. We even got a little visit by one of the owners asking us how everything was. They have some very unique mocktails. I tried the sangria and it was lovely. Not too sweet. We also had the goat cheese, shrimp, duck and salmon. The spiciness of the shrimp and the sweetness / creaminess of the goat cheese were a perfect pair. The shrimp is extra spicy though, so only get it if you love spice. The duck and salmon had very unique flavor profiles. This is my new favorite restaurant in downtown phoenix!! They also have this amazing little shop with imported and locally sourced African goods. We purchased some things before dinner and then went back again after for some more. One of only 5 places in the USA that sell "57 Ghana Chocolate" bars. Each bar has a different story on it. Left there feeling loved and connected. Thank you Latha! (Just for the record, I am not being paid for this glowing review, it was literally that good! Once you experience it, you'll want to support this local business too!) * they told us to come back and try their unique brunch. read more

I had the most amazing experience at Latha. I was reluctant to go initially and decline the invite at first but at the insistence of a colleague I decided to give it a try. I woke up the next morning thinking about the food. The ambiance was amazing. The owner was engaging and warm and the food was absolutely delicious. I had a South African wine which was very good as well. Overall, it was a great experience that I would recommend to anyone. We had a prefix menu and ate family style which allowed me to try more things than I ordinarily would have. Exceptional experience all around! read more

We had an amazing time at Latha. All the staff was super friendly. The service wasn't super fast but it wasn't so slow that it was any issue. Personally I thought it was nice to relax and enjoy the ambiance. They had live music the night we went and it was the perfect volume. Not too loud that we couldn't talk but loud enough that we could hear it and the singer was great! All of the food tasted amazing!!! And they had some unique things on the menu. A little pricy but it's a more upscale restaurant downtown so it's what you would expect. I definitely recommend this place if you want to have a nice night out and try something new! read more

I went to Latha for the first time. The ambiance is beautiful. I love how African heritage is showcased throughout the restaurant and the live music was great. The music was slightly loud, so it was difficult to hear the waitress/hostess when they were describing items from the menu. However, the staff were quite friendly. As for the food, I found it very flavorful. As a starter my friends and I had the whipped goat cheese and bread. As a Kenyan I thought it was misleading to call the bread Chapati. The bread was more of a pita bread than Chapati. But it went well with the goat cheese. For the main course I ordered the Dayboat Moqueca with shrimp (they ran out of the fish of the day and it's not pictured here). The flavor was great but the portion size was not worth the cost at all! Which was disappointing to me. My drink, Mrembo martini, was delicious and strong. I would order it again. Overall I would give it another shot just to try other dishes. read more
