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.
