I have previously rated this place a 5/5 at their other location (I have copied and pasted old review below as it still stands). This place has moved locations but after checking out the new one, the 5/5 still stands. Oddly enough, the momos have gotten even better. This place deserves all of the business it receives!!!! And then some!
Old review:
.........and I've basically just discovered my new favorite place to eat in Frankfurt.
The menu is 7 items deep. No joke. Each item has variations of itself, but there are really only 7. I absolutely love this as it allows them to deliver each flawlessly and not just as a mediocre version of the dish.
I ordered three items: momos (beef), mo-thuk (wild garlic with meat), and sha pale (minced beef). Each one was delicious as the next.
The outside of the place may deter you from heading inside. Don't let it. :) It may appear to be a kiosk and you may have to squint to read the sign- but the restaurant does exist and is clean and inviting on the inside.
The restaurant is small. Only really five tables or so. They also do not take reservations. After seeing high reviews on Yelp for Lhamo, I was worried we may not get a table there despite what day we headed there (I don't care for waiting in line as I am an impatient American). Therefore, we went on a Tuesday and were to chance our luck.
When we arrived at around 6pm, there was more or less no one inside except us, and the minimal staff. By the time we left, it was filled to capacity. Go early!
While the food was incredible, my favorite thing about Lhamo was the price point. We had two large Beck's and the three dishes mentioned above and our bill was 26 Euros. We ordered way too much and would have been fine with just two of the dishes for sure.
Highly, highly recommended if looking for a good meal and welcoming atmosphere in Frankfurt! read more
