Novak's Hungarian And Bakery

Service friendly and restaurant cozy. They serve the best bread. I had some tasty meatballs that were on special. It paired well with the beer I chose. Not a fan of the cucumber salad. I miss the mixed salad tossed in the house made dressing (one of the best side salads I've had). Also did not care for the over serving of a creamy tasteless pasta or potato dish. It was not a compliment to the meatballs or grilled veggies.

My father was born in Budapest. Hungary and I grew up with the rich flavors of many old world dishes cooked by my grandfather, who became a chef at the Waldorf Astoria in New York after immigrating from Budapest. I love Novaks, because their recipes are authentic. It is still family owned and run, and they are about the friendliest eatery in Albany. I love Novak’s!

Novak's has been an icon in Albany for at least the 25 years I can recall. The food is fantastic. It's heartbreaking to know they are closing. Better try them before they're gone. Pay for a mug, too, while you're there. It's the end of an era. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
