I wanted to give it a try and before I even pulled up into the parking spot, I knew it was gonna be delicious. I walked in and greeted such a lovely and welcoming lady, I should've asked her name but I will be back so I'll get it next time. Beautiful, and very clean seating area as well as a convenient kiosk to order your food! Anyways, I ordered the palm butter soup with fufu and brought it on home. I couldn't wait to dig in and may I say this is so DAMN delicious!!! I enjoyed every single bite and had enough for some rice with the leftover stew. So much flavor and the fufu was amazing too! I am so satisfied and WILL be back for more! I need to try at least everything on the menu once. Thank you!!

We were coming from Mesa so we called last evening to make sure they'd have the palm butter and…read morefufu when they opened at 11:00, which they assured us they would have it. We arrived at 11:04 and were told it would be another 1 1/2 hours!!! Every time we go there's no palm butter although it's on the menu. The good is expensive and now you have to order on a board which makes it slower. She couldn't tell us how much the items were when we asked!!!

The music was great, but be prepared to hear uncensored lyrics. Might not be appropriate for younger children. The waitress was very sweet and checked on us often, but didn't offer more water and failed to bring is water after we requested more. The food took a while to come to our table, but was worth the wait. Lucky for us, we weren't in a rush or under any time restraints. The food was good, but the jollof was very salty and lots of small laurel leaf pieces. I wish the pieces were big enough to just pick out. Other than that, it was very tasty.

Ordered takeout and tried the goat egusi soup. The flavor was rich and satisfying. Unfortunately,…read morethe goat was not. It was extremely tough, to the point where I could barely bite it off the bone. And for the up charge, the meat should be edible. I had seen other reviews mention this issue but wanted to give it a try myself. I wouldn't write this restaurant off completely because the flavors were there, but I would definitely skip the goat next time.

The place was clean, but small with about seven tables. I ordered at the counter and sat and waited for my jollof rice and red snapper. My mouth watered as I thought about the meal. Once i received my meal, I had no regrets on my choices. The rice was filled with veggies and chicken. The red snapper was fried to perfection. And the fried plantains melted in my mouth. The meal was very delicious, hearty, enough for two people. Some would not agree with the price to eat here. My lunch meal was $35. I noticed several people coming and going with pickup orders. This is a hidden gem. I'd definitely return to try other items. Accessible entrance.

I have to say West African Cuisine is hitting all the taste buds and making them dance. I ordered them on DoorDash but I will definitely take a trip to have this food in the restaurant. I ordered the pepper soup with goat meat and the pepper soup with seafood, fufu and jollof rice. The food was soo good! The pepper soup was spicy and delicious. It was my first time trying the seafood pepper soup, I am so glad I ordered it. It was full or shrimp, fish and crab. The broth tasted like gumbo. I have a second favorite African restaurant now.

But if you put Sriracha on Everything, then this is the place for you. I ordered the spicy goat pepper soup with the fufu and it was heavenly. My only complaint was the portion sizes. All of the portion sizes are very small for the amount money you pay, thus the 3 star rating. The delicious of the food added the additional star which is why ultimately decided on a 4. My friends all got the lunch specials and they weren't happy with the quantity. I ordered my husband the beef "patties" to go, only to discover it was only a singular "patty" for $6. And if you have a party of 5 people and or more, they automatically add a gratuity to your bill. The restaurant is small on the inside but has a nice front patio outside which was shaded. On a nice night, it'd be romantic to sit out there. Overall, I'll be back to this place. But be prepared to order double portions per person, so you'd spend about $40/person before tips and taxes.

I saw the pics of the food and the reviews and decided to see for myself. I am happy I did. I ordered the pepper soup (my all time favorite soup), jollof rice and fufu. Because let's face it no meal is complete without the fufu. The food came and I did my happy dance. The pepper soup was yummy, I immediately felt my sinuses clearing. This soup is a healing soup. The fufu was on point and the rice was tasty with a nice kick. They gave me plantains and puff puff with the rice. That was a nice surprise I haven't had puff, puff in years! They also had a spicy pepper sauce to go over the food. Amazing!!!I had the rice for lunch today, it is even better the day after when all of the flavors have settled in. Service was good, the food didn't take long, we enjoyed watching the African music videos as we waited. A very welcoming atmosphere.

The space has a classy, mid-upscale vibe definitely giving "bougie" in the best way while still feeling comfortable and inviting. We visited on a Saturday, and the live music was phenomenal. The musicians played a great mix of current songs, which created an amazing atmosphere throughout the restaurant. The staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. I also loved the thoughtful touch of offering personal handheld fans to guests if they got warm. The bar was another standout. I really appreciated that the cocktails are crafted using African or Black-owned liquors, making the drink menu feel unique and intentional. If you don't drink alcohol, they also have a wonderful selection of mocktails and natural teas, so there are plenty of options for everyone. The food took a little longer than expected to come out, but nothing unreasonable. The portions are generous, and the prices are fair for the quality and amount of food you receive. We ordered the oxtails, jollof rice, broccoli, peri-peri chicken, and pineapple chicken. Everything was delicious, especially the oxtails and jollof rice. My only recommendation is to be prepared if you're not a fan of spicy food the piri piri chicken definitely has some heat. Since they don't offer ranch or similar cooling sauces, just keep that in mind when ordering. Overall, Latha offers more than just great food it's a full experience. Between the beautiful atmosphere, live music, welcoming hospitality, thoughtfully curated drinks, and flavorful African cuisine, it's a restaurant I would absolutely recommend. I can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!
