Had few old friends get-togethers here and every time we opted for this as it is one of best the cost-effective rooftop restaurant.
Even though food is not attractive but taste was good enough and felt like few desserts were served stale once.

Good food for the price. Quantity of food is more so can share the dish. Terrace dining. Great place for casual dinner with friends. Ample parking space. Service was good.
Its awesome place.
I had Nikah function over there, and I had very good experience.
All the arrangements were done with very high care.
Food was very awesome both non veg and veg.
Owner of Canopy Restaurant(Sayed) took all the care for smooth execution of function.
I Thank from bottom of my heart to Sayed and team for such a awesome experience.
I would definitely suggest this place for any kind of functions like Valima, Engagement and many others
This place is not familiar to much people. As it situated in utility building, the view from there is amazing. I have visited there twice for the buffet lunch. They don't have much varieties of food. Taste is average but they provide excellent service. The chairs and tables and plates are very old fashioned and it creates an effect to the restaurant.
I've been coming to this place since I was a kid since this place caters to weddings as well. The food especially the biryani is to die for the fish and Tiger prawns are worth a try the desserts especially the blueberry cheese cake is too good!!!. Overall I give it a 5/5. Cheers
Good Ambience n Food was Tasty!!...Reasonable price!! ...This Place ll b Suitable with Gang f Frndz!!.....I went with ma colleagues n it was fun..
Quality food, in sufficient quantity and great value for money! That's how I'll summarize our family's visit to this place yesterday... .dedicated parking available so no issues on that front.
rest food doesn't need any review, very comforting and ambient place.
What I like personally about this joint is its setting. Bengaluru weather is pleasant compare to other cities.
However the wintery evenings have a nip in the air. These guys help you with a small angeti (dunno if they still do) for keeping the food warm.
Dal, roti and non veg starters in the cold evenings definitely keep you warm.
Pros:Buffet price is very less , which is very good seeing the vareties of food served there.
and the view of MG road adds to it especially during the weekend evenings.
Cons:Not many options if you are a vegetarian.

Canopy is one of those inconspicuous restaurants in the most conspicuous of places - MG Road. Located in the Utility Building complex, adjacent to and above Fame Shankarnag Theatre (old Symphony theatre). An old, stuffy capsule lift or a winding, pan-stained staircase leads you up to the restaurant.
It is a terrace restaurant with 2 or 3 different covered seating areas and a couple of banquet halls. The view offered is that of the MG Road skyline on one side and the Metro on the other. At times, when the weather is a typical B'lore one, the view, the weather and a lovely breeze together, make for a great ambience, especially on the days when the food is great.
The Canopy Buffet has a pretty decent spread and is very competitively priced as well. But is highly prone to inconsistency and there are days when some of the items are simply disappointing. The buffet spread includes :-
1) Soup (usually don't taste, but is not worth mentioning) and some basic salads.
2) 5-6 starters (maybe more). The Chicken starters like Tikkas are more often than not, good and tasty. A Fish Kabab on 1 occasion was damn good. Veg ones are regular, nothing exceptional.
3) Biriyani - Pretty much the most consistent item -in its presence in the buffet and taste-wise. Quite flavourful and tasty.
4) Other rice items.
5) 3-5 gravy items. Some of them good ones, others are listless.
6) 2-3 regular desserts like Gulab jamun with ice-cream etc. Tasty though.
I have also attended a few functions in their banquet halls and the food on offer on all the occasions was quite good.
VFM :- Quite reasonable for the Location+ambience > spread > food. Their a la carte prices seem quite economical and the items are supposedly quite good as well. I haven't tried any though.
Verdict :- Has history, serves average++ food, great location and ambience, but inconsistent. There is potential for vast improvement in terms of offerings and in maintaining a consistency, as seen from my banquet experiences.
I should try biriyani the best in the city. Ambience superb.
The old school restaurant of Bangalore. Once upon a time THE place to go to! The location is fantastic. Bang in the middle of MG Road (next to all those utility buildings - mayo hall etc.). Has a cramped parking and pan stained floors to get up to but once up there, the view is good, the breeze is plentiful and the food is sumptuous.
They have regular food options which are fairly decent. But nothing extra ordinary to write home about. I mean, they have their chaats and tikkas and kebabs, good enough biryani. Decent enough fresh desserts. I guess thats about it! For nostalgia's sake do give it a try!
Good place,great ambience,superb food,value for money,best for families
Good place, prefect Ambience, satisfied taste buds and open roof makes the place more commendable.
We ordered for 3 non veg buffet and a veg buffet. The snacks they served was delicious specially Chicken tikka and Paneer tikka.
The main course had variety of dishes. All in all its a good restaurant + concomitant atmosphere + delicious food.
Service : 4.5
food : 4.5
Ambience : 4.5
overall : 4
The only thing that might bother u can be the metros that constantly crosses at a distance of 25mts from u.
Happy visit. . :)
Good place for a romantic date. Dim lights, open roof top and cool breeze are all too good to resist.
Value (ambience + food ) >> amount spent;
The buffet lunch is Really worth it & reasonable too :)

After years of hearing about Canopy, I got the chance of going there a week or so ago. My friend was throwing her birthday lunch treat there! Since I was going to MG Road after years, I didn't know where to park so ended up parking near Symphony. I wish I had known that Canopy had their own parking.
When I went upstairs I was pleasantly surprised. An open air restaurant in the middle of MG road and not crowded at all on a Saturday evening!! Since there were around 11 of us we opted for the buffet. Seating is nice and the open air arrangement adds to the charm of the place.
We started the buffet with the fresh kebabs and boy was I blown away by the Mutton Sheekhs. They were so juicy, soft and tender that they melted as soon as I took a bite. Probably the best sheeks I have had in a long time. There were around 3 different kinds of kebabs, 1 Mutton and 2 Chicken. They also had some egg chilly and mutton sukkha which I heard were good too. I couldn't try them out as I was busy finishing the sheeks.
The spread for the main course was quite grand with around 3-4 dry dishes and 3-4 gravies, both veg and non-veg. I stuck to the non veg and had chilli chicken, and 2 gravies which were quite decent. Roti and Nans were fresh and soft. I heard the Paneer and Daal were also quite good. Along with the main course they had also served Pasta, Noodles, Aaloo Tikkis and other stuff. For dessert they had really good Gulab Jamoons, Ice cream, a couple of other sweets. There was just too much to eat and I couldn't go for all coz of my binging on the sheeks.
Quality of food was really good and all of it tasted real fresh. The service was fast. And the buffet cost us just around Rs.400 per person!!! I had a great time there and would love to go for the buffet again! Worth every penny!
I have been to Canopy 4-5 times, but not recently. The restaurant has been around for a few decades I think. It is in the Utility building on MG road, in the heart of the city. They have a open root type dining area as well covered one, which is mostly used for buffet. I have tried both the lunch as well as the dinner buffet. Back in the days, when there were not many buffet options, this used to be a very good choice. The buffets are not very expensive, but at the same time do not have a very lavish spread. The A-la-carte section is pretty decent too. The food is of good quality and tasty, leaving no room for any complaints in that area. Many people swear by their Biryani being one of the better ones you can find in the city. Overall a not too fancy place in the cbd, decent, not too expensive, with good food and ample parking.
Attended a wedding last week, food is amazing, venue centrally located, ample parking space. My pictures will tell you the rest.
Love the idea of the terrace garden restaurant... We were there for my bothers wedding reception... Food and arrangements were fine... Nice location just infront of metro line... Love the food , Love the environment... Only thing they can improve is the washrooms and the timing ,it was only opened till 11pm ...
Had gud experience, great decorations... Very specious, only we had lift issue as it had 6 member capacity in which only 5 member can join security and use that lift.... Rest everything was very gud.
Attended my Nephew's Engagement.
Serene atmosphere. Good food but slight spicy. Nice evening with Santoor Music
By Late Shiv Kumar Sharma.
A restaurant I've visited often. In the late 70s and 80s it used to be a happening place, with a lot of crowd and good food. When I last visited in 2017, the charm seemed to be lost for me.
However it still has a dedicated clientele and remains busy for most of the day.
It is easily accessible, located as it is bang in the centre og Mahatma Gandhi Road, a still very busy shopping, business and food district in spite of several new establishments that have come up in the suburbs over the last 4 decades.
Old world charm in the al fresco place - down right to heavy iron chairs.
Service was speedy and good, and food was good, as usual.
It would be a great place in the evenings while listening to the Metro roar past and soaking up the well lit MG Road
Great place in an old.heeitage building
Nice place located in Public Utility Building, 2nd floor, MG Road.
It's suitable for get together of 150-200 people.
It has sufficient parking space
Food is good both veg and non veg.
Ambiance is very nice.
The open balcony area is very good in evening time with cool breeze
Excellent food, Fantastic service, and a great Ambience, Hat's off to Faiz Bhai and Fawaz.
Super Place for any kind of Functions and the Food was amazing Especially Mutton Briyani and Fish was super too good
Good place spacious get paid parking but since it his very old lot of maintenance required but good for birth day party and marriage reception and in heart of city and also good place for shopping Mysore silk saree
