The inside was decorated with festive balloons and plenty of sitting room. So the food absolutely amazing. The empanada was spiced perfectly! Even though it was fried it didn't taste fried. The black beans, cabbage, and cilantro rice was on point! Very flavorful, excellently seasoned, and delicious down to every last drop. The chicken of course was amazing and satisfying. This place is worth the check out it has a local charm with delicious food what else can you ask for. If you're nearby come and try this place! Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying their fish dishes!

The food here is often very good but now they've messed up my in person order. I was rung up for…read moretwo Firebird sandwiches and the person I was with requested no tomatoes on one because I have an allergy and to sub out the fries for a different side on both orders in Spanish. The receipt says I was rung up for that exact request of no tomatoes and a different side swapped out for each sandwich, yet the sandwiches still have tomatoes on them and came with fries. The only correct part of the order was the drinks and the extra side. Besides that the workers and atmosphere is very nice. I'll give it another chance because I really do like their food but be mindful to check your food for accuracy.

Well this seems to be the latest in this chain to open. I thought it was just Peruvian chicken but…read moreit's pretty much Peruvian everything plus cheese steaks, dry roasts, and vegetables. I'm here at lunchtime and it's filling up which of course is exactly what we want to see. I'm here on the recommendation of someone who has tried these gyros and they know how picky I am about the gyros. Because they're cooked to order , I can tell you that the place is very clean and very organized. The staff is all Hispanic. I don't know what that means, Caribbean chicken, I guess, but since I don't eat Peruvian chicken because it's very very salty, I'm trying the other meals. You can get an assortment of vegetables if that's what you want. I already mentioned there's chicken. You can eat wraps, different sandwiches, and a lot of Latin specialties. one complaint is that since they cook to order and you don't pick up at the table as my gyro, I sat here waiting for someone to call me. I didn't hear my name called out even though they asked for your name. I eventually had to go up to get it. I'm sure it's a little cooler than I would probably like it but we'll see. The final thing is, which I'm beginning to see not just here, A sign begging we want tips and we appreciate it. As for the Sandwich, they use the pre-sliced meat like that you would buy in a kit. . Cut thin and uniform and crisp on the ends. Think of bacon with a identity issue. Bread? it may think its Pita more like pity and last, The dressing was tasty and liberal would have licked it off the bread. Bottom Line, do not come here for the cold gyros , but i'm sure you find other food to like. 2.5 out of 5

If you like the complexity of the flavor of flan, you will love this tres leches cake. Many know that El Pollo Rico in Arlington, Virginia is the original Mac Daddy of all of the Peruvian rotisserie chicken restaurants in the DC area. Decades ago, my tech compadres and I would stand on line in their sparse environs and get a quarter chicken with white meat hacked right in front of you. Just like at all the the Peruvian rotisseries today. Back then, all you could get were fries and cole slaw and no other choices for sides unless you wanted yucca. And one type of dessert. That was it. And it was the best chicken ever. Since then, many places offering Peruvian chicken have become mainstays and Sardi's is one. The original Sardi's, in Beltsville, is usually packed and full of families. The decor is welcoming, the seating area is grand and there are many, many sides to choose from. As well as other menu items. Sardi's has since spun-off as a chain all around the DC area, but with a franchised, methodical approach. The recipe as I've at least observed in this New Carrollton location: big branding, open spaces, a clean and simple aesthetic, booth and table seating, plenty of rotisserie, other menu items, a steam table with sides and many desserts. Oh ... and friendly and helpful staff who really make a difference. The rotisserie chicken seasoning at Sardi's brings much sodium and a pleasant, subtle heat. But it's not excessively spicy, by any means. I think it would be fascinating to know how they make the seasoning. This salt plus heat combo is not what I've been used to - Peruvian rotisserie chicken-wise - for decades, but it is flavorful. I would like to ask the team if they have a sweeter sauce to balance the mild heat. I have gotten my favorite yellow 'Amarilla,' sauce here but it's not what I am used to, either. It's salty and there is no mild sweetness. A purely sweet - and maybe hot - sauce would probably balance the spices of the Sardi's Peruvian chicken well. Btw this heat doesn't slowly build, it's just pleasantly smokey. The fries are served piping hot and tasty if you get them right when they are made. They are big and good. The cole slaw is deceiving because it looks like normal slaw but the flavours are quite intense and lively. I kept serving myself more and wondered if I might have just eaten the whole side dish if I didn't have to share it. The yucca is more tender than I'm used to, if yucca can be. Sardi's masters the art of preparing it so that you're not pulling off the edges and chewing too much. So, yes on more yucca please. The rice is lovely, perfectly clumped and well seasoned. As mild as their rice is, you really don't need to add anything to it, ie butter or whatever. It's fabulous just the way it is. Unless, of course, you are like me and rest the undersides of your rotisserie chicken on the rice to intentionally get a bit of that Sardi's rotisserie seasoning on it. As for the other desserts: we tried the chocolate mousse cake. Cakes this light have easily been stale, but not this one. Our slice was fresh and moist. I've had lighter mousse cakes at fine restaurants which sometimes have notes of 'refrigerator' surface so I was relieved this was not the case, here. There are slightly nutty notes in the mousse. I want to say hints of pistachio but the label mentions "soy tree nut (almond, coconut, hazelnut, pecan and walnut.)" Not sure if they are all blended in but this is a classic and mild, nutty chocolate dessert mousse vs. a super-rich, dark chocolate experience. I prefer the latter. This mousse cake is so fresh that when you open the container, you can immediately smell the lovely chocolate cake. That's saying a lot about their quality control standards, here. I would like to next try the carrot cake and the tiramisu cake, here. Why? Because I know they are at least going to be fresh. And with Sardi's emphasis on good flavors, I couldn't imagine these two desserts would be anything less than delicious. The rice pudding is everything, here! It was so delicious that you could even have it for breakfast: it's cold, creamy, sweet and perfectly flavored with cinnamon. Finally, a note about the staff. They are warm and kind when approached. And people were just helpful here. I enjoyed our dinner and feel that the best thing Sardi's has is a focus on their team being helpful with customers, people having an aesthetic space to dine among one another and a reliable place to enjoy Peruvian rotisserie with a bit of flair.

They also offer chicken wings with an extensive selection flavors, tacos, subs, lamb over rice, and gyros. I believe where this place is located used to be a Pakistani/Indian takeout restaurant. That place struggled in its last days. It is interesting that Charbroiled Chicken & Grill serves lamb chops, lamb over rice, and gyros; perhaps to capture some of the clientele from the previous establishment. The menu is diverse and makes you wonder which of the ethnic cuisines they are most dedicated to when it comes to quality and authenticity. I've only experienced the Peruvian-influenced dishes which are consistent and delicious. In general, those items are what you'd expect from similar Peruvian-style restaurants in the DMV. After a few visits it is safe to say this place serves good charbroiled chicken. Their green sauce is delicious and similar to the original green sauce from Sardi's when they first hit the scene in PG County. One of these days I will try the chicken wings and tacos.
