Loving people through food... since 1984

Joseph and Matilda Novak (Papa and Mama) came to the United States from Hungary in 1957. Together with twin daughters, Karen and Matilda, they opened the original "Novak's Hungarian Paprikas" in April 1984.

We've refined both the menu and the restaurant, but the same Love goes into everything we prepare with the finest quality ingredients fresh every day. Whether this is your first visit with us, or you're a long time "member of the family", we thank you sincerely for coming to Novak's.

Novak's features authentic Hungarian cuisine in a beautifully restored 100-year-old building in Old Town Albany, Oregon.

We are located at: 208 SW 2nd Ave, Albany, Oregon 97321
