Namino Poway — Restaurant in Poway

Finally, Mr Ali is a very welcoming and...

Good value and the portions are great, but the only issue is that the person didn’t have any change. So bring exact amount when you have cash but we all use our fancy cards anyway.

I just made leftovers anyway. I’m telling you if you get the combo like I did, you could...
