About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Charming
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 ‘flavour’ 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.

    This was the best meal I had in Phoenix, hands down. So much genuine love and energy in that building, and it comes through in the food. Do yourself a favor and get the oxtail.

    I have dined at this restaurant multiple times, and it never fails to impress. The ambiance is inviting, and the customer service is consistently excellent. While the portions are not oversized, this is true to its fine dining experience, where quality takes precedence over quantity. Each dish is thoughtfully prepared, with flavors that are well above average, making every visit a delight.

    This was a wonderful time and the food was amazing. I will be back. I loved the live music. The music was outside and I was seated inside and couldn’t hear it. Next time I want to be by the live music. The uncle nearest old fashion was it! I really want to try every drink on the menu it all sounded amazing. One of my favorite apps was the watermelon salad l. That was so refreshing.

    Great food! A menu like nothing else in Phoenix and couple that with a creative bar is a wonderful combination. All food is fresh and delicious but save room for dessert. There are only two choices and we ordered both and split them between four of us.

    Three of us tried the chef’s journey for brunch and the 4th person had the chicken and waffle. Everyone enjoyed the watermelon salad and we also loved the whipped goat cheese. Two ordered the salmon and grits and one order of shrimp and grits. The salmon was a hit with the two that ordered it but I had the shrimp and grits and didn’t love it. Something with the sauce didn’t quite work for me. But the pineapple bandito was phenomenal as was the torte for dessert. The vibe at the restaurant was excellent. As we were celebrating two birthdays, Latha made a big deal about it and our birthday folks were regarded highly with both a comp dessert and a small gift. I will definitely be back to sample an evening menu. The service was OUTSTANDING. The employees were attentive and kind. It was the very best place to celebrate our birthdays and ourselves. Do not miss this Phoenix gem!!
