Kasthamandap Wall of Fame is one part of the wall of the stage of the restaurant which has the photos of various Nepalese artists displayed in individual frames. The other part of the wall has an art of Buddha designed by us and our famous New York’s Artist CJ, who did an amazing job.  Most of the artist’s pictures are signed by the artist itself when they had dined with us. The idea is to make it an artist art wall (Wall of Fame) and to make it an addition to the Restaurant’s theme i.e; Nepali Museum Restaurant. It gives a platform for the customer to witness and to take a picture with it. We are very blessed to have frequent artists and musicians visiting us timely and it truly means a lot to us.
