Timur pepper on the schnitzel, Rheingau Riesling with the goat curry. We take what works from both kitchens — and subtract nothing from the Nepali one.
Momos pleated before service, dal simmered for hours, gundruk fermented in-house. None of it can be shortcut, and it shows.
In theory. But 4.9 out of 5 across more than six hundred reviews is not luck — it is repetition.
Our story
Hamro means “ours” in Nepali. It is what you call the table you were raised at — and it is the only word that fitted a dining room built for the neighbourhood.
We cook the food of the Kathmandu Valley the way it is actually eaten: dumplings folded by hand each morning, dal simmered until it turns sweet, greens fermented in the back kitchen because nobody sells gundruk on Eckenheimer Landstraße.
What changes is everything around the plate. Frankfurt taught us to open the bar properly, to pour Rheingau Riesling next to goat curry because the acid works, and to serve a lunch that gets you back to the office by two.
Nothing on the menu is diluted for the German palate. The chilli stays where it belongs. But the room is easy, the lighting is warm, and you are welcome to stay for one more pot of tea.
— The Hamro family
Every momo is pleated in-house before service. No freezer, no shortcut, no exceptions — which is also why they sell out.
Timur pepper, jimbu and dried chilli come from Nepal. Everything green comes from the Kleinmarkthalle, four stops down the line.
Himalayan botanicals, German cellar work, and a house tea steeped with mint, ginger, cinnamon and citrus.
Dine in, take away, or have it delivered across Nordend. The room is yours for events up to sixty.
What to order
If it is your first time, order across these. They are the ones the kitchen is judged on — and the ones that sell out first.
Steamed
Tender steamed dumplings folded by hand each morning, filled with spiced chicken or vegetables, served with our hot tomato achar.
In broth
The same dumplings, dropped into a warm sesame-and-tomato broth with timur pepper. Eat them with a spoon.
From the grill
Grilled cauliflower, broccoli, aubergine, tomato, pepper, cucumber and chickpeas with nuts and fruit, our Himalaya sauce and aromatic pulau rice.
The national plate: black lentil dal, steamed rice, seasonal tarkari, achar, greens and papad. Refills of dal on request, as they should be.
Goat curry
Goat on the bone, braised three hours with cinnamon, cardamom and bay until it gives way. Served with pulau and bread.
Brewed to order with fresh mint, ginger, cinnamon and citrus. Pot for two.
Gin, Himalayan pepper, lemon and honey, with a long citrus finish.
Strained yoghurt whipped with saffron, cardamom and pistachio. Cold, thick, barely sweet.
Three ways to eat here
A short lunch card built to be quick without being small — thali, thukpa, a bowl and a pot of house tea.
Order across the whole card and let it land in waves. Momos first, curry after, sikarni when nobody thinks they have room.
The bar keeps going after the kitchen slows down. Come for one, stay because the room is warm.

Read on GoogleThe momos come out folded that morning and you can taste the difference. We ordered a second steamer before the first was finished.
As serious tea drinkers we were won over by the house brew — fresh mint, ginger, cinnamon and citrus, made to order.
The room is decorated with real care for the flavours of home, and the welcome is genuinely warm. A proper culinary trip without leaving Frankfurt.
Generous portions, fair prices and a kitchen that does not tone the spice down. The dal bhat is the real thing.
