Oh, how I love Sardi's! I truly believe they have some of the best charcoal chicken in the area, especially when it's fresh off the grill. For my takeout order, I got the chicken with rice and beans, along with the Brussels sprouts and carrots. The Brussels sprouts are my favorite! They can be a little oily, but the seasoning and crispy bits make them so good. Sardi's is always a great choice when I want a comforting, satisfying meal that doesn't leave me feeling too guilty afterward. They're also consistently quick, making it the perfect spot for an easy takeout meal! read more

Chicken was delicious and the sides were so large and tasty also. They came with side sauces which were also very good. read more

Upon entering, your automatically greeted, which is a plus got my order. The staff was professional, friendly enough. The place was clean, smelled delicious. A family friendly place where you could take your kids and have a sit down meal nothing too special. And this is my second time eating here and both times the food was absolutely delicious. The chicken flavor was out of this world smokiness seasoned to perfection the first time I had brussels sprouts and rice, which were both good. The second time my sides were mashed potatoes and gravy and the green beans which were absolutely divine. Can't go wrong with this place. My kids loved it. My five-year-old loved it which is a miracle so yeah, I highly recommend this spot. The food was too good. I didn't even have time to take a picture. read more

Even though I have eaten here several times this is the first time I actually made a review of their food. Now...I have been kind of lazy last year a little this year and have not actually went inside even though I live less than 10 minutes away from here. So being the hungry lazy woman I am I ordered twice through Grubhub. I always order had dark because besides the wings I don't like white meat just be too dry! The sides plantains which are cooked so well, green beans are so damn good with the garlic and onions!! I've tried usually white rice and black beans or this time I tried the fried chicken rice and beans and things where I messed up. The chicken fried rice was so dry..uggggh they must use the breast meat because it was not good at all. So that was a one and done for me as a side because it sounds so good...but next time try thigh meat or something so it won't be so dry. I also tried the chicken wings and blue cheese which were very good as well. Besides the green beans which will be forever my side I'll try the mashed potatoes next time. And a side of plantains as well! Maybe I'll venture out and try a few other items one day. But for now I'll stick with what I know! A solids 3.75 stars! read more

I'm a firm believer that Peruvian chicken, known as pollo a la brasa, doesn't get the respect it deserves. It should be up there with the most popular food groups in the world. I was in DC for 3 days, and was spammed with requests to hit 2 restaurants - El Pollo Rico and Sardis. El Pollo Rico changed my life, so I had to get over to Sardis for a heat check. I stepped out of my uber and had a great feeling as you could smell the beautiful aroma of the pollo a la brasa from outside. When I walked in there was a sign that read "Water cups are only for water, please, thank you!" and this is a great indicator that a spot is gonna SLAP. I put my order in as locally sourced farm fresh grade A chickens rotated over charcoal in the background. I went with my life blood order of a half chicken, chaufa, and plantains which ran $16.60. This chicken was amazing, but not quite El Pollo Rico level. I have it at the top of my A-tier, just below the mythical S-Tier that is reserved for some Hall of Fame tissi. But when you add the sauces in, it goes nuclear. Some good Peruvian green sauce, aka aji verde, will truly change your life. The sides of chaufa, which is just peruvian fried rice, and plantains here were fantastic. Sweet plantains are also criminally underrated. The perfect compliment to some good bird. I've been holding off on giving a number rating to restaurant chickens, just because I did so many before Chicken Wars took off. But moving forward, I'm going to start rating every one. It's time. It's what the people want. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

Love love love this Sardi's, the food has always been fresh when I've stopped by. The restaurant is clean and the employees are pleasant. There was no line on my last visit, I breezed right through. I ordered 3 pieces dark meat with green beans and rice. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection and my server didn't skim on the side at all. Everyone greeted me with a smile and the cashier was very professional. read more

Every time I eat at Sardi's, the food is fresh, flavorful, and always on point. Their rotisserie chicken is juicy, the sides are delicious, and they're super consistent with quality. If you haven't tried them yet, I definitely recommend checking them out. You won't be disappointed! read more

Temple Hills is my neighborhood Sardi's and frequent often. Staff is always nice and greets customers with a smile. Today i dined in and Gary took very good care of me. read more

Their Mediterranean salad is my go-to whenever I want something light but filling. The feta was tangy, the kalamata olives added that briny punch, and the vinaigrette tied everything together perfectly. I also loved the grilled veggies they added on top it made it feel a little more special. The pita on the side was warm and soft, which was a nice touch. Service was fast and friendly, and the whole place had a clean, relaxed vibe. Great for a quick solo lunch or catching up with a friend. I'll definitely be back for this one. read more

I've been sleeping on Sardi's. Been in a "good sandwich " mood this week and decided to try the chicken cheesesteak or the beef cheesesteak. Since I couldn't decide I got both. The size of the sandwiches is crazy and they were both packed with meat. Good, soft and fresh quality bread and ingredients. Dry line man but very good customer service from the ladies at the counter read more

Great service from Evercito very welcoming from the door, made sure while dining in we were very well taking care of. Great customer service! Food was great and ambiance nice and clean. read more

Sardi's Pollo A La Brasa - Half dark with fry's and plantains - Peruvian Near Me - Marlow Heights, Maryland

I am an absolute huge sardi's fan! Anytime I am in Maryland I have to have this place. I love the chicken of course and I prefer dark meat in general. My go to sides are broccoli, salad, plantains, black beans, and brussel sprouts. read more

Great customer service, food is delicious and full filling. I had ordered a half of chicken with black beans and rice. The plantains and vegetables are a good combination. read more

The El Greco Salad is my thing! I was recently disappointed, because my poor little piece of chicken had been cooked to death (RIP yard bird)! Dry as dry could be (smh)! In the future, I'll order my protein separately and add it to the salad myself. read more

Sardi's Pollo A La Brasa - El Greco Salad w/dry chicken - Peruvian Near Me - Marlow Heights, Maryland

This place is great! The food is always made to order and it's delicious they are very nice and the restaurant is always clean.

The fact that my order took almost 30 minutes to make( which was by the way Sweet Chili Chicken with double white rice and let me add that the white rice is already pre done for walk-in's. When I received my order it wasn't even completed Three pieces of chicken swimming in sauce with barely enough rice to feed a two year old. With all this being said I will no longer be a patron at this location because all aren't like that. I wound up giving my food to the homeless.. I was totally dissatisfied.. read more

Fried rice green beans corn and brussel sprouts.. I told this guy I wanted the fried rice as the main dish he didn't want to hear it.. he says you get four sides I said I don't want four sides I want that is a main dish and two sides.. my homeboy got his kind of the same way $22 I would have paid the extra but they charged me extra obviously and I didn't even get none of that rotisserie chicken.. the University boulevard location I will never ever go in there again HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED AND DID NOT SATISFY A CUSTOMER TEN THUMBS DOWN read more

The Charbroiled Chicken is tasty. I felt like their pupusas were okay. I think this place was too hyped for me. Their food is good but for me especially, there was nothing memorable that made me want to go back. It could be that they try to do too much. Service is good. read more

Typical Sardi's location. Great Peruvian food, quick service and quality ingredients. This location has plenty of seating for all party sizes. WiFi here is really quick and some seats are outfitted with charging ports. Located right off of Branch avenue. This spot can get pretty busy, but you'll be in and out of that line in 5 mins max. I always go for quarter chicken w/ 2 sides. Can't go wrong with their yuca fries, Peruvian rice, or potatoes. If your in the area looking for something quick in the area that isn't really fast food this is the spots. Glad the franchise has expanded to other locations around the area read more

We kinda stopped coming for a bit because Ilda disappeared (per my last review) and the ceviche was just okay and not really worth the drive from Waldorf anymore. But one day recently we were in the area so we stopped by and the ceviche was amaaazzzingg ! My brother ordered his usual pollo saltado and also said it was by far the best he's ever had. We had to ask who made it and we were introduced to their chef, Deysi, who I believe was fairly new. She was extremely friendly and appreciative of our comments ! Now we're back to being regulars for the ceviche !! But we always call to make sure she's working before we go! read more

I can't support Sardis anymore. They've raised the prices, but what makes it disrespectful is the fact they cut the food in half. My last time there I ordered the salmon dinner and when I went to pick it staff kept staring at me like they were nervous, with one even leaving abruptly. once I opened my food I knew why, since they gave me a piece of fish they literally cut in half down the middle to save money. A piece literally the size of a 5 inch ruler if not smaller. Raising prices from $12 to $20 is one thing, but now they are purposely cheating people. Even their sides are cut in half with their new containers. This place used to be good but greed has taken over and made them bottom tier. read more

I am a huge Sardis fan, I love their food. Now that brings me to the branch ave location. I usually hit either college park or Hampton Park mall, no problem ever, except no location cooks the chicken to well done, but not a problem I take it home and airfry to my liking, green sauce and I'm in heaven But every time I get anything from branch ave it's a problem, I like the pork chops and the first time I got them at branch ave they weren't that good like central ave. So tonight I was closer to branch ave after working 12 hours this was my last stop no central ave soil got the chops and......SARDIS ARE U SERIOUS....these chops are dried out hard and burnt in places....I am so upset....I will be calling the manager in the morning...the entire meal is dry city..green beans, black beans and fried rice....STAY AWAY FROM BRANCH AVE... read more

Three times in a row the Capitol Heights location has left something out of my order. When you call and tell them, they act like it is no big deal. the food is decent, but it doesn't help when you don't have all of your food in the order. read more

Sardis is always amazing! The food is always phenomenal and hands down one of my favorite places to eat!

as much as i hate to admit it, i eat sardi's chicken a lot! when is the clinton location opening?!?!

I really like the size of this location! It's close to the Iverson mall, but far enough. This was my first time here and they are serious about how many sauces you get. This isn't my first rodeo with Sardis. I'm now a Sardis elite if they had statuses! I've been to one in Beltsville and Philadelphia all in the past 49 days. The chicken has this sweet taste to it that's very good and a little bit of char. I wish I could explain it better but try it and you'll see how good it can be. I have tried most of the sides and they are always spot on and delicious. I will stop here in the future. read more

Loved the December Special-Boneless 1/2 chicken with two sides. I chose the green beans with onions and the plantains. The food was comforting with that charred smoky flavor.? read more

I've been to 5 or 6 different Peruvian Chicken restaurants in the area and I have to say this is the best local chain in the DMV. There are a couple of locations in Maryland and they're all great! The reasons why I recommend this restaurant: 1) The white meat is juicy. I have a standard for chicken restaurants - it's easy to make dark meat juicy, but white meat can easily get dry but a place that make it juicy...they know what they're doing! 2) Sides - their fried yucca is on point! 3) Flavor - The taste from their fiery charcoal seems into the chicken and it's game over. Taste - 5/5 Atmosphere - 3.5/5 Value - 5/5 read more

I love almost everything from Sardis. My go to is there slow cooked rotisserie chicken, rice n beans and salad. I recently tried there "Inca Bowl" which is similar to a chipotle bowl (almost) but with the amazing Sardi's flavor!! read more

My son has been bragging on this place since he's been in DC, so we had to give it a try before jumping on the road, and well well well, the chicken and sides were EXCELLENT!!!! A bit pricey, but I'm always interested in delicious local cuisine... read more

I ordered for curbside pick up . Nobody came out , so I had to go in and get my food . I get my food and it wasn't hot and the veggies were horrible . The salmon and rice were okay ( they didn't add the sauce i asked for had to use BBQ sauce from home and put it on my salmon ) . Wouldn't recommend read more

Sardi's Pollo A La Brasa - This was Brussels Sprouts and Carrots - Peruvian Near Me - Marlow Heights, Maryland

We came to this Sardi's, even though it was farther out, due to the reviews. Upon entering, the place was clean and spacious. We got a whole chicken with rice and fried plantains as the side. The cashier gave us free drinks because it was our first time there. The chicken was delicious and the various Sardi's sauces were great because they weren't too salty. If there was a Sardi's in Virginia (where I reside), this would definitely be my go-to chicken place. read more

Great choices I have come to love the brussels sprouts. I always get the 1/2 chicken, white meat. It's good for 2 days of great eating. Great customer service!!! read more

Always a good experience when I come here! I love the food I'm trying the carne asada for the first time here. I hope it's just as good as the chicken. I will try to remember to come back with an update. Ok the carne asada is better then the chicken! I can't eat red meat like used to but when I do I go here. It's tender flavorful the gravy with rice a plus! read more

When I heard there was a new Sardis near me, it immediately felt like a newborn baby was added to the family. I had resounding joy and I made it a priority to go and Christen this location. Now I am sandwiched between TWO Sardis locations; one 13 minutes away, and this one 11 minutes away. (Yes, I looked it up on Google maps to see which is closest). The million dollar question is if this location lives up to its sister locations and it definitely does. The famous chicken is the same quality. I've also branched out and tried another chicken breast item on the menu. I've reached a place in my Sardi's game where I'm trying new things just to try it. I feel like Jordan when he shot the free throw with his eyes closed, just because. Definitely give this place a shot. I think I will use this location for specialty items since every time I try to call ahead at the Central avenue location, I get friend-zoned and put on hold with no intention of them ever clicking back over. read more

Food is good but my customer service experience was poor. I ordered online because I knew it would take 10-15 mins to cook my salmon and I wanted to pick it up on my way home. I asked about my order when I got here, the manager told me to wait just a minute then she forgot about me. I asked the cashier next and she told me it wasn't ready yet. I sat here for another 10 mins before they brought somebody else's order out. When I told the manager that that wasn't my order she FINALLY ACTUALLY looked up my order. Not only was it not ready, they hadn't even acknowledged it yet so nobody was working on it. Now I'm waiting 10-15 more minutes. I would have been better off just ordering when I got here. I just sat here waiting for 35 mins when I ordered before I got here. They didn't even apologize or acknowledge the mistake. read more

Sardi's Lamb chops changed my life. This location never misses the food and service is always A1. Stephon has excellent customer service and I look forward to seeing him because he always has an uplifting pleasant attitude. The only negative I have is you have to call at least 4x to get through. read more

If I could leave a 10-star rating I would! I had an event on 5-22-23 where the caterer for my main course confused the dates and was unable to help me. I called Jay at the BOWIE Sardi's at 5:15 pm and asked him if he could provide wings for 100 people in 75 minutes. His reaction was absolutely perfect! "I don't have wings, but I can cut up a bird to have wing-sized portions." My question was "In 75 minutes?". "Of course", was his response! I told him I'd be right over to pay for the food. I was at his counter less than 10 minutes later, and his team already had the chicken on the rotisserie! We discussed the details of how my team was picking the product up at 6:45 pm and where we should park, etc. His team had the chicken ready, on time, and even brought it to our vehicle! All of this spectacular service with a smile and wonderful interactions! As a former restaurant manager, I can appreciate the shock this unannounced, last-minute large order would place on a manager and his team. Especially on a Monday night, which is traditionally staffed lighter. Jay did not hesitate in his ability to fulfill the order. Kudos to him for having the right team in place and their ability to pivot. He was absolutely spot-on with his handling of the order. Excellent Job! read more
