I don't know how to fix this issue. Why does Google suggest another page as canonical, as opposed to the one selected by us? enter image description here

Canonical links only work if they are targetting the correct page(s).

  • /menu/cuisine/14/ points to /menu/cuisine/14/ - CORRECT
  • /menu.php?cuisineid=14 points to menu.php?cuisineid=14 - INCORRECT

So, the problem is menu.php?cuisineid=14 not pointing to the correct page. To fix simply ensure your ?query-strings canonical the correct SEF URLS e.g ?cuisineid=14 should be using this:

<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.burmesekitchen.in/menu/cuisine/14/" />

I can see that you also have <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> therefore you're at no risk but if you wish to suppress the warnings in GSC then fix the canonicals as I have said.

Or alternatively, make your site inaccessible using these query strings and have them 301 redirect to the SEF URLS.
