Amazing food by folks who obviously love and absolutely kick ass at what they do. If you possess even the slightest hint of culinary curiosity, an appreciation for layered, high quality delicious flavors, or an affinity for Middle Eastern and Mediterranean (Israeli-inspired) cuisine, then you MUST try Firewall. Back story... my husband and I take food seriously. We research, we travel, we experiment. One evening, following a deep dive into the art of wood-fired pizza, Justin found himself craving that unmistakable smoky, charred perfection. Enter Firewall. A quick browse through their menu confirmed what any (starving) foodie instinctively knows: these people understand food, and if it is executed well, we will be making our way through their entire menu. Ironically, despite our initial pizza-driven mission that night, we found ourselves unable to resist their hummus and a few of their sandwiches first. Fast forward a year, and we’ve had (and loved!) everything on the menu—except for two pizzas we haven't had yet (which, rest assured, will not be neglected for long). I order the hummus and extra extra veg every single time. Even their cookies are delicious ffs and we are so so lucky to have them down the street from us! TL;DR — If you truly appreciate well-executed food, I challenge you to find even one thing here that doesn’t impress. ------- EDIT: one pizza left on the menu and the Rancher did not disappoint!
Food was Amazing! The sandwich (Fertile Crescent) was so flavorful and delicious! (And without creamy sauces :D, which I don't enjoy but is everywhere) Plus Pizza was good too
In the middle of finishing one of the tastiest sandwiches I've had in a long time. Just happened to notice this place while driving home and stopped on a whim. Tried the Flying V and it was unexpectedly flavorful and filling! The herb pita bread was a nice touch. Pickled veggies were definitely better than chips, which were hard to skip since I'm a carboholic! Will definitely be back and highly recommend!
Best Israeli food in ATL and this is coming from someone who has been to Israel! Don’t waste your time with Israeli food anywhere else in Atlanta. Each bite is filled with authentic flavor (even the house pickled veggies are insane). Best hummus EVER!!! Everything is fresh and the pita is wood fired to order, which means it can be a bit of a wait that is totally worth it. You can also order online to have it ready upon arrival. Also very accommodating to vegans and vegetarians. This place is a hidden gem on the nicer side of the West End, do not sleep on Fire Wall.
Amazing little place! The pizza is great. The hummus bowl with grilled chicken is incredible. The atmosphere is very casual and laid back.
If you like Middle Eastern food, you MUST come here! The Hummus is to die for… The smell of their fresh baked bread makes my day. Near the west side beltline, I highly recommend dining in and exploring the neighborhood too. It’s worth the trip! Young friendly owner, out of this world delicious hummus and middle eastern inspired cuisine at a fair price.
Went there for dinner. We got a hummus bowl, which came with hot to order pita bread. That was some great hummus! It was enough for like 4 servings. We split it and then ate the rest later. We also got one of the sandwiches. Haven’t tried it yet because the portions were so much bigger for the hummus bowl than anticipated, but looking forward to having it for lunch! Main feedback: perhaps have one more person to help. It took a bit to place order and for the food to come out, but likely that’s because everything is being made to order fresh. So, come with some time to wait or order ahead—it’s worth the wait in the end!
I really enjoyed this place. The customer service was great and the food came out fast. I tried a sandwich, two pizzas, and a hummus bowl. My favorite of everything was the hummus bowl.Definitely recommend. I did not even come to get the hummus bowl but after being provided a sample, I could not resist. It was delicious. The hummus alone is really flavorful. However, it was worth it to get the bowl for the bread and veggies. The fresh bread smelled amazing and was seasoned. The pickled vegetables really set the hummus apart. The flavors are spectacular. I added garlic confit which isn’t do much. Next time I’ll try the chicken on it. I tried the short rib pizza and the spinach pizza. Both were different and unique. I liked the flavors of the short rib pizza. It is greasy but not too bad. The spinach pizza is a dry pizza. I like trying different/new things. I only took a bite of that pizza so I will have to edit my review once I’ve had a chance to fully try the pizza. The sandwich I had was the one with pork and greens- the Southern Italian. It did not have a lot of greens but it was full of meat. Seasoned! It was flavorful! The top part of the bread was a little hard to chew for me. It was worth trying. I would definitely go back to try other items from them.
