   Chef’s menu was the way to go. With two people ordering opposite items, it was a great way to try more things. Everything was excellent. Vibe was super chill as well. Live music in the background, not crazy loud like at some places. I even got a cute pantsuit from the market!

   Beautiful space, very welcoming, perfectly infused African Brazilian decor and food! I highly recommend! They also have an amazing birthday custom that makes the birthday honor feel special and leaves a lasting memory!

   We enjoyed a wonderful dining experience. Service was amazing. Owner came by several times to check on us. Gave interesting history of building and her background and interest to open a restaurant. Food was delicious and creative. Wonderful live jazz music! Don’t forget the gift shop.

   We really enjoyed dining at Latha! Loved the house that the restaurant is in, really liked the decor. This was our first time to try Pan African food and we loved it. The appetizers were especially good. Loved the whipped goat cheese & warm bread, loved loved the watermelon salad and the shrimp Aguachile. Really liked the southern pound cake. This would be a great place to bring friends from out of town.

   Very nice place and atmosphere. My husband and I were there for 1pm Sunday brunch reservation. They were overwhelmed from the hostess booth to the dining room. There were large groups at other tables, which may have played a factor. There was a bit of a wait for the hostess to check us in. The gentleman who checked us in was nice but was also working the dining room. My husband dish that came in a cast iron pan was lukewarm. I waited about 10mins for my dish to arrive after my husband’s. The waitress was nice and comp our drinks for the long wait time. Overall, nice atmosphere and the food was decent. I think we will go back during the week day and early before it gets busy.

   Thank you for joining us for brunch and for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate you coming in to celebrate the flavors of the Pan-African. Unfortunately, it’s clear we did not uphold our Latha standards — and for that, we sincerely apologize. Leadership has reviewed your feedback and made adjustments to better support our team during busy services. We’d truly love the opportunity to make it right — whether it’s welcoming you back for a smoother brunch or inviting you to experience our vibrant Friday or Saturday dinners with live music.

   This was my first time visiting, and I actually discovered the place on Instagram. What drew me in was the ambiance—it beautifully represented African culture, and as a Nigerian, I felt right at home. I love supporting restaurants and leaving thoughtful reviews, especially when I’ve had a full experience. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was vibrant. The DJ played amazing Nigerian Afrobeats that truly took me back home. I was seated by a lovely hostess, and although the wait time for food and service was on the longer side, I assumed they might’ve been understaffed. As for the food, the main dish didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I had the salmon and shrimp, which were enjoyable, but the coconut rice was too mushy, and the tomato sauce had a soapy, sour taste I couldn’t get past. However, I did enjoy the “Passion Fire” cocktail—it was delicious and refreshing. The pound cake with strawberry glaze was also a hit—soft, flavorful, and satisfying. What really impressed me, though, was how the restaurant handled my concerns. After mentioning to my server that I wasn’t satisfied with the main course, the manager personally came over to address it. Not only was I offered a second dessert on the house, but they also gave me a $10 discount. That small gesture went a long way—it made me feel heard and valued, and the manager even encouraged me to try something else, which I appreciated. Overall, I would absolutely visit again. My bill for two came to $155, which felt reasonable, especially with the added bonus of validated parking.

   Thank you so much for joining us for brunch and for taking the time to share your experience. We're grateful you came in and gave us a shot. While we’re glad there were moments you enjoyed, we know we missed the mark in a few key areas — and that’s not the standard we aim for. Whether it was timing, execution, or overall flow, we’ve taken your feedback to heart. Our GM, Will Brazil (yes — like the country, and twice as lively), absolutely loved serving you and your guest and hopes to welcome you back for a smoother, more satisfying round two. We’re committed to making every brunch as vibrant and memorable as the flavors we serve — and we’d love the chance to get it just right for you next time.

    Such a delightful evening at Latha. The food was delicious. I had the oxtails. The music was a vibe and we even saved room for dessert. The owner herself stopped to make sure we were having a wonderful time. I highly recommend.
