Sardi's Pollo A La Brasa - Temple Hills

This spot is “hit or miss,” so I will leave a neutral review. Some days the food is so delicious, and the next day, it pisses me off. Yesterday, I ate the February Special “Surf & Turf” ($25), and everything was good; I have absolutely no complaints. So, I decided to come back today… and add a side of salmon. The salmon was a bit dry, the skin was extra crunchy, and it lacked flavor (seasoning). I understand seafood is not their specialty, so I'll be gentle on the review. The shrimp is decent, nice size, too. Brussels are definitely “hit or miss.” One day, they're super oily, the next day, they're too hard, and sometimes, they are very seasoned and good. Now the lamb….. Same as above 10/10 yesterday, 7/10 today. Conclusion: You are rolling the dice by going there. I've had everyt

It was okay but not true Peruvian food at all!!!! The broccoli seemed fresh but lacked any flavor. The green beans were oily but didn’t have any flavor. So disappointed. The chicken wasn’t bad but the sauces are commercialized in a package. It was like mayonnaise and was NOT authentic. The maduros/plantains were good but again, this is very very very average and not Peruvian. Maybe Peruvian inspired.

**November 2024 visit Updating my review & being transparent. I ordered the 3 meat combo/curbside. Chicken, lamb and Carne Asada. No curbside instructions giving the option for staff to know we've arrived. My sides were beans and carrots & Brussels mix-veggies were over cooked. The beans didn't taste good to me. I received a large portion though. This is a meal you have to eat on-site or be prepared to reheat when you get to your destination. All the meat was close to cold and the chicken looked to be somewhat raw still. Expected better for a $26. Meal. *October 2024 visit -ordered chicken enchiladas, they were delicious! -around $16 -Customer service was good too!

I love the lamb chops!! Always well seasoned and cooked. I just have 1 request. Please create a way to do add on lamb chops 4 isn't always enough. Especially compared to the out of sides portions. If you have to charge by the lamb chop like other restaurants. At least have the option.

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, c
