LATHA, Swahili for flavor, celebrates Africa and the diaspora’s rich and diverse cuisines. The menu curated by Executive Chef Digby Stridiron honors the interconnected journey of the foodways and culture of Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, and the Southern United States. Our contemporary pan-African kitchen respects historical recipes and crafts cuisine from thoughtfully sourced seasonal ingredients that reveal the connections between Africa and the diaspora. It is a journey of discovery along the trails of our ancestors, telling the authentic stories of the foodways and how they have shaped eating habits and cuisine worldwide. We invite guests to join us on a flavorful journey of discovery and appreciation. LATHA, in downtown Phoenix, in Heritage Square, is a place to have a shared immersive experience with friends or family while enjoying food, drinks, music, and culture in our dining room, bar, or outside patio. As a collective, we EAT, DRINK, and VIBE!

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Digby Stridiron

From the OpenTable editors: LATHA means “flavor” in Swahili, and when this hotspot opened in 2023, it brought a taste of the African diaspora from across Brazil, the Caribbean, and the South that caught the attention of Phoenix magazine and The Infatuation. The menu ranges from fried chicken and banana rum waffles to oxtails barbacoa, best devoured on the deep porch of this historic house, where singers and musicians often perform.

    We had an amazing experience at Latha. From the customer service, the live music with Coco, the food, and the entire vybe we had was hands down the best experience. We were presented with African Day name bracelets for our birthdays. The SOKO market was so vibrant with colors and handmade products that we will definitely come back to shop gifts for the holiday! What a gem!!!
