About Us

Kanishka's Restaurant name was derived from King Kanishka who was a great King who lived in 78 AD-144 AD. Kanishka was a tolerant King and his coins show that he honored the Zoroastrian, Greek , and Hindu deities as well as the Buddha. During his reign contacts with the Roman Empire led to significant increase in the exchange of ideas and trade; perhaps the most remarkable example of the fusion of Eastern and Western influences in his reign was Gandhara School of art, in which Greco- Roman classical lines are seen in images of the Buddha. His empire extended to part of China, Afghanistan, and Northern part of India covering Patna. He practiced advanced trade policies. His close friendly cultural ties with the Chinese Empire has influenced both cultures in knowledge and arts.
