Johnny N.

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__

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.

Fresh and crunchy salad with just the right amount of dressing. I liked how they layered everything so you get flavor in every bite. It felt super light but still filling. Great option for lunch.

Half dark with fry's and plantains

Always great chicken. Quick with our order and awesome seasoning on chicken. Definitely don't skimp on the portions.

El Greco Salad w/dry chicken

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.

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

Delicious Wood-Fired Peruvian Chicken!…read more Sardis is a very good option to enjoy the typical Peruvian grilled chicken. The seasoning is very good, the skin is crispy with its saltiness of thefried potatoes are outstanding. Although the fries and yucca are great side options, Michael two size are the brussels sprouts mixed vegetables and the black beans with white rice options! Both side dishes are outstanding!! flavors really come through and compliment. the chicken very well. A frequent the Clinton, Maryland location, the most, but I really like the staff here. The staff is very friendly and pleasant, everyone seems to know each other even with the clientele that makes the experience when buying the food very homely. The vibe of the place is very spacious, comfortable and clean. Nothing but good things to say about Sardis and this location. Actually....Some of the best pollo la brasa around.....and there are plenty in the DMV. Good selection of sides, and a full menu of other Latino dishes, too. It's a serving line style setup, so you get to see the food and direct the server on all the items you're interested in when ordering. This place, specifically this location, gets a double thumbs-up and recommendation in my book! The food is fantastic, and the service is great!!

The food service and ambiance is good here the person who serves is super good and he is super…read morehelpful and nice

Food here is so great!! It really doesn't look like much (Suitland doesn't look like much!) but…read moreit's a really good choice. Portions are generous and I could've made multiple meals out of it. Both of the dishes were well done. I like the sauce they give you for the chicken. It was a bit of a wait but I think if you set your expectations right- meaning expect 20-30 min wait - be zen and practice patience, you could really enjoy it! Ambiance isn't too much to write home about - not a trendy place by DC standards but it's not bad. It's air conditioned and the bathroom was clean. Parking is right out front and you can probably even see your car eating inside. Someone even came by and asked how our food was and it's not really a sit down restaurant (you order at the front on a giant screen). I'd come back again if in the area!

I love me some Silvestre's because it's always a hit. Always full of flavor and they don't skimp…read moreyou on the meat. The employees are patient and professional.I pretty much always order the same thing, mixed fajitas with rice and black beans. The place is clean however the parking lot still sucks but it's better than the old building they had across the street. The food here tastes better than a lot of sit down Mexican restaurants and it's more reasonable. They do have indoor seating if you want to done in. I would recommend calling in your order for faster service, as they do tend to be busy most of the day. I'm not sure if this is a female owned establishment but I only see all women working at this location. They do have an app now - which they didn't before. Remember to order through the app because you can't gain point or rewards using your receipt after a purchase. It seems as if you can only get rewarded for your purchases if you pls e your order through the app.
