The valley
Kathmandu cooking is mountain food that learned to trade — Newari spicing, Tibetan dumplings, Indian lentils, all folded into one plate. We cook it the way it is cooked at home, not the way it is exported.
Our story
A Kathmandu kitchen with a Frankfurt address
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 kitchen
Momos are pleated every morning before service. Gundruk ferments in the back. Goat braises for three hours. There is no freezer shortcut on this menu, which is why some things run out.
03
The neighbourhood
Nordend taught us the rest: open the bar properly, pour Riesling next to chilli, and serve a lunch that gets you back to work by two. Frankfurt is the second half of the recipe.
How we work
Four rules we do not bend
- 01
Folded by hand, daily
Every momo is pleated in-house before service. No freezer, no shortcut, no exceptions — which is also why they sell out.
- 02
Spices from the valley
Timur pepper, jimbu and dried chilli come from Nepal. Everything green comes from the Kleinmarkthalle, four stops down the line.
- 03
A bar with an opinion
Himalayan botanicals, German cellar work, and a house tea steeped with mint, ginger, cinnamon and citrus.
- 04
Built for the neighbourhood
Dine in, take away, or have it delivered across Nordend. The room is yours for events up to sixty.

A large part of the menu is vegetarian, and much of it vegan — Nepali home cooking is built that way. Every dish is tagged on the menu page, and the kitchen will adapt where it can.
Chilli levels are marked from one to three on the menu. We cook to the Nepali original by default and will dial heat up or down on request.
