Sometimes restaurants, not unlike a partner of many years, still have the power to surprise from time to time. Olympia Kebob House is such a restaurant. You could order nothing but the flaming kasseri cheese and a gyro or shish kebab and baba gannoujh and dolmades for the rest of your days and be perfectly content, but if you're a carnivore (and if you're not, then substitute the tasty Mediterranean mixed-vegetables platter), why not try our current favorite, ordered on a whim one evening: the rib-eye steak on pita, cooked to your specifications (i.e., perfect), served with a delicious salad, all for a mere $7? After all of these years, this mouth-watering, crave-inducing meal has made us look at our tried-and-true restaurant with new eyes. Sure, we've strayed over the years (Mediterranean House Apollonia, most recently), but as much as we enjoy crushing on the newcomers — and even, now and again, having outright affairs — sometimes there's nothing like falling in love all over again.

    Yeah, their hot dogs are pretty good, too, if you get 'em at the right time.
