Kostas Restaurant has been a part of the northwest suburban landscape since 1978. The Kourtis brothers decided to go into business together and purchased a piece of property on the corner of Hicks and Dundee roads in Palatine, that was the sight of an old gasoline station.
The focus from the very beginning was to bring a quality product to the area while treating the patrons to true Greek hospitality. No frills, no glory, just good food at great prices.
The Kourtis brothers opened Kourtis Gyros in November of 1978, the days were short and the nights where endless. Slowly they began to build a solid, respectable business by working countless hours and making sure that the customer was at the heart of everything they did.
In the mid 90 s Gus, took over the business with the help of his new partner and son Pete. Having grown up on the corner of Hicks and Dundee, spending countless hours learning the business, Pete knew exactly what he had to do to ensure the restaurants continued success. The name was changed to Kostas Gyros, but the excellence in quality and service continued.
Today Kostas is still on that same corner serving hundreds of friends and neighbors everyday.
With the addition of the new location and new partner Bill in Algonquin, Kostas hopes to bring that same casual, relaxed atmosphere to the far northwest suburban area. Always providing great food at great prices and never forgetting that true Greek hospitality.
