We loved Arsalan’s recommendations of [where to eat along Coney Island Avenue](/blog/food/coney-island-avenue-best-food/), so we checked out a few of his favorite spots and learned a bit more about the food, and what to order.

[Shandar Sweets & Restaurant](http://www.yelp.com/biz/shandar-sweet-and-restaurant-brooklyn?ref=bklyner.com): Along with a big counter of super-sweet desserts, Shandar has the usual array of savory offerings. This, says Arsalan, is “bachelor cooking” — food with a “manly touch.” Check out Tandoori Chicken, and don’t forget the pink tea (Kashmiri Chai).

[Mashallah Sweets & Restaurant](http://www.yelp.com/biz/mashallah-sweets-and-restaurant-brooklyn?ref=bklyner.com): Check out samosa with chickpeas. And don’t forget the tea!

[Punjab Restaurant](http://www.yelp.com/biz/punjab-restaurant-brooklyn?ref=bklyner.com) is Arsalan’s favorite and has been around since 1986\. It’s where you’ll find the closest thing to “a home-cooked meal — everything has a house touch,” he says. His personal favorite: Try the fried fish.

Stay tuned for more episodes, and if you need anything, Arsalan Naeem also runs Taj Mahal Hardware & Building Supplies at 719 Coney Island Ave at Avenue C.
