I have been away from quite some time. I thought about various reasons for my hiatus , but honestly the only reason was laziness. I am back now, after a few months and a few extra kilos.
It took some awesome food to bring me back to writing. Schumania- a local restaurant bar at IC colony, Borvali. Imagine a fine dining place, where a persons greets you with a welcome drink on your arrival. Then you are escorted to your table, you then take the napkin and put it on you lap. The waiter comes and explains you the menu and suggests a 1947 Cheval Blanc wine!! Well, now imagine exactly opposite of this, welcome to Schumania.
Its just another bar but with some extraordinary food. It has got an AC and non AC sections. And is one of the few places where you can smoke in AC section.That's not the point. The bar is located in IC Colony, so there are chances that the group sitting next to you will be chatting in English. So free gyan that too in English!
The booze is cheap, 150 for a bottles of KF and 200 for Bud. The food my friends, is killer! I have never tried veg food but for a meat lover its a treat. Some of the dishes that I tried include Kheema masala, Bheja fry and masala, Chicken boti dry, mutton seekh kabab, kheema ghotala etc. Every freaking dish is so damn awesome that after the first bite you feel like kissing
chef's hands. The place doesn't have tandoor. So all the dishes are server with bread. The meat is grilled on charcoal so it gives you the rusty charcoal flavor.
Overall, its a place where you can catch up with friends over a few beers accompanied by some great food and some free philosophy.
To summarize:

Place :7/10 Not so great ambiance. Smoking allowed in AC section, so you don't need to get up from you table.
Quality :8.5/10 I have already said enough.
Service :7.0/10 Nothing particular about service. Just like any other restaurant. I had to give an extra point because the waiter did give free unlimited water,ice and lime to our non-drinking friend.
Price
:9/10 A meal for two can cost around Rs.200. Each dish I mentioned above costs around 90-100 Rs.
