Best chicken gyro I've ever had and the white sauce is delicious
Cafe Lark has the best food in Albany. Hands down! ♡
Feast Your Eyes, Albany!
Cafe Lark, nestled on Madison Avenue in Albany, New York, isn't just a restaurant—it's a testament to the city's vibrant culinary scene. This place is a bona fide treasure, serving up everything from phenomenal pizza to incredibly flavorful gyros, and even venturing into the delightful world of samosas. It's truly a shining star among Albany's many eateries.
The Budget-Friendly Feast
As any Albany resident knows, finding an affordable, satisfying meal is a priority. My recent visit proved it's possible to dine like royalty without breaking the bank. I started with a generous slice of their Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza, complemented by a slice of White Chicken Cheddar Broccoli. Both were a steal at just $4 each, a remarkable price given the abundant toppings. I also added three sizable samosas for only $5; they were bursting with flavor and clearly fried fresh. My total came out to a very reasonable $14, and they even threw in a free can of Coke!
Service and Atmosphere: Top-Tier
The service at Cafe Lark was truly immaculate. The gentleman who took my order was engaging, kind, and incredibly helpful, even offering genuine tips about other local restaurants. The food was prepared and served with impressive speed. Stepping into Cafe Lark felt like being transported to a cozy café in Italy. The atmosphere was spot on, offering tables where diners could truly relax and savor their meal without the typical rush.
The Pizza: A New Yorker's Dream
As a true New Yorker, I know my pizza, and Cafe Lark's undercarriage was phenomenal. There was absolutely no flop, a clear sign of a well-made slice. It held a beautiful fold, and the crust? To die for! Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, it was everything a pizza lover could ask for.

Cafe Lark is an absolute gem, and I wholeheartedly recommend stopping in. This fantastic little joint undoubtedly earns a whopping 5 stars from me!
Ordered the 38.99 deal. The wings were OUT OF THIS WORLD and the pizza was fantastic!!! Luckily I'm right next door and found my new wing spot. -mild sauce is to DIE for
