LATHA 628 East Adams Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004

"After being told that there was a 2.5 hour wait at a local pizza company, we happened upon this gem! The food is of pan African cuisine and oh so delicious! I highly recommend you give this quaint restaurant a try. Don't be afraid of the unknown because the staff will talk you through the menu. Everything was great starting from the cocktails to the dessert. Please give this restaurant a go when you are near!"

"We were seated around 7:30pm after a 45 minute wait, which wasn’t too bad. Ordered everything around the same time, got the appetizers in a good time frame but didn’t get the entrees until 9pm. Not sure if they forgot to put the order in, but that was a buzzkill because we had other plans after but couldn’t leave because they kept saying the food was gonna be out any minute now. However, we were offered 2 desserts to compensate for the wait. We ordered the Pomegranate Mojito, Peri Peri wings, the Steak Strip and the Dayboat. The drink was alright, the wings tasted great, but the other two were mediocre, kinda lacked in flavor, we had higher expectations because of the wings. The presentation was amazing and the desserts were delicious! The service needs to be better. Hopefully this was a unique case, and the service is better overall."

"I just celebrated my birthday at Latha! It was recommended by a friend. And I made reservations for a group of 6. I really enjoyed the whole experience! We were greeted by the owner. She even did a quick tour. The decor is fabulous! I loved all the food I ordered (Shrimp Escabeche appetizer, Shrimp Moqueca entree & Pound cake dessert). And my friends enjoyed most of their food (Piri Piri Wings appetizer, Honey & Apple salad, Southern Fried Day Boat Mahi-Mahi entree, Tumeric & Yogurt grilled Chicken). However, everyone that ordered the Rice pudding dessert sent it back to exchange for the Pound cake. I didn't try the pudding personally. But the Pound cake was delicious! The only other thing was that the service seemed a bit slow. We were there 2.5 hours. But the place was full! To top everything off, the restaurant presented me with a beautiful birthday gift that I absolutely love! I will definitely return!"

"The best meal I've had in Phoenix so far! Came here on a Sunday for brunch after the historical home tour next door. The best part is the incredible flavor combinations with fresh ingredients that make for such a pleasant meal experience. Also the portions weren't overly huge so everyone in the party finished their meal with the perfect amount of satisfaction. Everything we ordered was just incredible and well balanced, would definitely love to come back to try their dinner menu!"

"We had an amazing time at LATHA. The food was unique and sooo delicious! The service was fast and super friendly. It was busy but someone was still always there refilling my water glass. The atmosphere was really fun. There’s a small gift shop in the back and there was a live singer the night we went. She was amazing and the volume was just right. I highly recommend trying thid place and if you want to go on a weekend night, make a reservation!"
