“Kosta’s Gyros is hands down the best spot in town for gyros. The meat is perfectly seasoned and tender, the pita is always fresh, and their sauce is absolutely unbeatable — easily the best local gyro sauce around. You can tell everything is made with care and quality ingredients.
On top of that, the service is fast and efficient without ever feeling rushed. The staff keeps things moving while still being friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great too — relaxed, clean, and a perfect place to grab a quick lunch or hang out for a casual dinner.
If you’re craving a legit gyro, Kosta’s is the place to go.“

“So my husband wanted to give this place a great review. He has been doing a HVAC project in Crystal Lake the past three days him and crew have been going for lunch here. First off I see mad people on here talking crap about this place. I am Greek my husband is puerto rican he loves Greek food! He has had many gyros though out all these years. The gyros was so good tasty and loved that they were packed as if your eating a pita in Greece Keep up the great work and don't let the people on these reviews get under your skin!!!!! The food is FIRE 🔥“

“Nice, clean restaurant and was not too crowded for Sunday dinner except someone's party. Food was okay nothing exceptional that I was anticipating. I have had more tastier Nihari at Usmania, Sabri or Ali Nihari. BBQ was good but karahi needs more reasonable fixing. We liked the paratha poori, Naan and parathas were freshly made and hot to touch. Staff was polite and courteous.
The parking lot needs fixing. We used disability parking but the walkway was so rocky, uneven and so far from the entrance that my dad almost fell with his rollator. It definitely needs fixing before a lawsuit happens“

“Great beef and cheddar croissant!!! The beef is super flavorful without being overwhelming!!!“
