   It took 90 mins to get my food. It took so long that our date night turned into an expensive takeout meal. Just all bad overall experience. When we got home, the food was decent. Never going again.

   Service by Mixologist Joyce was amazing. The food was delicious, started with the whipped goat cheese and was pleasantly surprised with the black garlic honey. Ended with the best pound cake I’ve had in a long time. Overall, great experience.

   The vibe in this place is totally laid back and enjoyable. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. They made sure we have everything we needed. We were greeted immediately and welcomed in even though they were busy. We had to wait for a table but they made sure we were comfortably seated somewhere while we waited, which was not long. The food was delicious, we especially enjoyed the whipped goat cheese with chapati bread. So delicious. The atmosphere is nice with feel good music in the background. We will definitely go back. They also have a sweet little gift shop selling African clothing and other artisan gifts.

   Latha is a welcome and exciting new addition to Phoenix’s dining scene. Located in a charming converted home in Heritage Square (right across from Bianco Pizzeria), the space is thoughtfully designed. The decor is tasteful and cohesive, especially considering the ambitious goal of representing the cultural diversity of Africa and the Caribbean — the team at Latha pulled it off wonderfully. Service was excellent; our server Oscar was warm, attentive, and helpful throughout the meal. We started with the Shrimp Aguachile and Piri Piri Wings. The aguachile packed a punch — spicy but full of flavor. The wings, while nicely charred and coated with flavorful skin, lacked seasoning on the inside. The Oxtail Grilled Cheese is a standout dish and an absolute must-order. The combination of braised oxtail, melted cheese, and sweet pineapple chutney was comforting, rich, and totally unique. For my main, I had the Salmon Dayboat Fish Moqueca. The salmon was perfectly cooked, skin included — and I usually skip the skin. The rice grits it came with were creamy and satisfying, though the broccolini could’ve been a bit more tender. I also tried the Yaa cocktail, and as a St-Germain fan, I loved it. Several people at my table ordered the Latha Lemonade with hibiscus and pineapple, and it was a hit — they went back for multiple refills. Overall, Latha offers a fresh, flavorful, and elevated take on African-inspired cuisine. It was my first time trying several of these dishes, and I walked away impressed. Great service, bold flavors, and a beautiful setting. 8.5/10 — I’ll definitely be back.

    Our experience at Latha far exceeded our expectations! The staff in particular were outstanding. The food, ambience, and music were also all five star. We will be back.
