Hollyn SlykhuisJuly 9, 2014Snag the table in the front for a great view (and people watching). The sausages are wonderful and spicy plus the owner is the sweetest guy! Definitely stop by!
Margaret KamaraMarch 17, 2013The owner Bardia is very personable, and brunch is great. They put a special touch on the mimosa by giving you your own individual champaign bottle.
Bardia has killer happy hours. On Tuesdays, half price selected appetizers. Wednesdays, half price cups of gumbo. And Thursdays, half price bottles of Abita beer with any food item.
Sheyda Bautista-SaeyanAugust 21, 2014Everything on the menu is amazing! And the chef/owner is the most welcoming man. Try the beignets for dessert!
Favian GuzmanJuly 19, 2013Amazing and delicious! Owner is super nice and the food reminded me of being back in Nawlin's! Highly recommend!
Tasha RayApril 2, 2013Wonderful service! Yummy gumbo & the best bread pudding and beignets in town!!!
XuanMarch 10, 2014The owner, Bardia, is the nicest gentleman you'll ever find in DC! Foods are amazing too.
RVALunchSpecialAugust 18, 2014Order beignets and coffee for dessert. This is currently my favorite place in DC.
leigh winsteadDecember 5, 2014My food arrived at the table cold, not as described on menu. Beignets are great and my friends loved their food though. Automatic gratuity and slow service.
Bethany KlineJune 14, 2012I got the andouille Cajun linguine which was delicious. Also recommend the fried okra and beignets
Get the Eggs Creole. It's the perfect blend of sauce, tomatoes, spices and potatoes (all accompanied by the best biscuit ever)!- The restaurant has the best Gumbo in town. Try to get a seat near the open windows!
Shrimp étouffée is perfectly spicy and comforting on a cold day.
Brunch and the CityJanuary 22, 2012mmmm biscuits, and some of the better beignets you'll find in DC Read more
Taste and See ™March 22, 2013The Beignets taste like they were fried in the chicken or fry grease. The Cajun fries were easily the best thing here.
Barka ShimelisSeptember 16, 2011The service is ok but the seasoning they use on everything is salted and makes it feel like it really pours when it rains!
Sean MurphyJanuary 17, 2010Must order the Beignets. The tough choice is whether to order them for starters or as the dessert?!
Ree-An AJuly 10, 2012Walked all the way to AdMo only to find out that Bardia's is closed on Mondays :(

Gumbo, jambalaya, beignets, po' boys, and Cajun linguini. The finest from Louisiana smack in the middle of Adams Morgan! Breakfast & brunch served all day. And while you'll find spicy andouille sausage and alligator gumbo on the menu, we have a slew of vegetarian options... Gar-run-teeeeed!

"The burrata and rigatoni are both musts. Highly recommend the Barbera blend if you're looking for a good red!"

"Their chicken tikka masala is very good and arguably the best in town! It is a little bit spicy and is served with either rice or roti."
