No, surely, you cannot go in this restaurant to eat vulture. In fact, this is literally a restaurant for the vultures. If you know more about it then visit this entry: Believe it or Not: Restaurants for Vultures in Nepal. Yes, you better believe it- it is real. The good news is that this restaurant is helping to revive vultures from possible extinction in Nepal.

AFP reported:

But a scheme in Nepal to create a "restaurant" for the birds -- whose numbers have been decimated by a powerful drug given to livestock that the birds ingest when they eat the dead animals -- is slowly helping the vulture population recover.

The scheme is also helping change perceptions in the Himalayan nation of the once-reviled scavenger.

A decade ago, an estimated 300,000 vultures cruised the Nepali skies.

Today only around 1,000 birds remain.

The vulture restaurant can be a model for all other countries in the world. Almost in every country, some animals are facing extinction. Similar restaurants can really save them from possible extinction.
