A polished rooftop hotel restaurant with attractive city views, highly praised service, broad Indian cooking, and generally good value, though portions and a few dishes draw occasional criticism.
Kohinoor Rooftop delivers solid food quality anchored by consistently praised chicken, mutton, and curries, paired with attentive service that earns high marks across the board. The rooftop setting with elevated views and quiet atmosphere enhances the experience, though some diners note pricing relative to portions keeps it from approaching the very top tier.
Kohinoor is a rooftop dining room perched above St Mark's Hotel, where the central Bengaluru skyline, covered terrace, and calm evening mood do much of the welcoming. Diners repeatedly describe a peaceful setting with city views, while the service tends to feel unusually personal for a hotel restaurant—one guest likened the experience to dinner above the rooftops beneath a golden moon. The kitchen takes a broad, polished Indian approach rather than a tightly regional one, moving from tandoor chicken and kebabs to Kori Gassi, mutton preparations, seafood, biryani, and an unusually extensive vegetarian selection. The strongest consensus centers on chicken tikka, mutton, curries, naan, and thalis; the food is flavorful and approachable, though not every dish lands equally, with occasional complaints about biryani, desserts, salt levels, and price-to-portion balance. Families are well served by the large vegetarian selection, familiar paneer, potatoes, corn, chicken, naan, rice, and the reported kid-friendly Kohinoor jelly. Reviews include family dinners and a birthday celebration, and one allergy-conscious diner reports careful chef involvement. It is a comfortable choice for children, though the menu is more expansive and spiced than a dedicated kids' restaurant.
The safest path is tandoor, mutton, curry, or thali, but the ₹975 biryani and premium prawns deserve more caution.
Expect a peaceful rooftop setting and attentive service, but plan ahead for reservations and be prepared for uneven value and dish consistency.
This is a calm rooftop setting where skyline views, covered outdoor seating, and personal service shape the evening.
