It was day 1 evening when we were back from Gulaba. After enjoying live snowfall we were feeling cold and requested our driver Mr Kamlesh for any Chinese restaurant. He suggested Raju Lama Chinese in Tibet market area on Manali Mall Road.
The place is based on narrow lane on 1st floor based on top of clothes and woolen market.

The restaurant is hustling place with 3- 4 open siting rooms where sat on table. It is managed by a Tibetan lady and her sons. The Mom along with cook manage teh kitchen while her 2 sons serves to the customers.
We ordered for Chicken Momos and Chinese soup. The service was is quick. The Momos here are accompanied with bowl of clear stock soup. Eating hot momos and gulping down soupl in cold weather is heavenly.
The food quality here was just too awesome along with decent serving qty and reasonable price made it was our food stop for next 2 days.
Next day we ordered Thukpa and Mutton noodles. The Thukpa is just awesome. Momos are authentic. To our surprise the mutton and chicken dishes are priced similarly here. Then our driver made us aware that Mutton in Manali is priced at INR 500/kg (unlike INR 850/kg at our home in Vasai)
