About Elektra - Himalayan Alchemy House

Duck out of the Brunswick Street chill into a cozy, incense-scented Himalayan sanctuary pouring rich pots of house-brewed sticky chai. Regulars lean on this colorful dining room for restorative comfort, lingering over clay mugs and savory Nepalese plates. Morning cravings pivot around the Everest Benedict—poached eggs and crisp bacon served over a crunchy rice patty with sriracha hollandaise—alongside steaming bowls of chicken momo dumplings and spiced mushroom stew.

  • Clay mug sticky chai: Steeping spiced tea leaves served hot in handcrafted earthenware and clay pottery cups.
  • Nepalese fusion brunch: Flavors spanning Everest Benedict over crunchy rice crisply, momo dumplings, and spiced stew.
  • Dietary-friendly comfort: Broad menu options tailored easily for gluten-free, vegan, and allium-free diners.

  • Himalayan Fried Chicken Burger

    Ordered the “Himalayan Fried Chicken Burger” and don’t have one complaint, served with wedges instead of chip, a beautiful garlic aioli instead of tomato sauce. And a burger so big I could barely finish it.
