The last couple of months were a bit chaotic.
Been dealing with a serious hernia, surgery kept getting delayed because of bureaucracy… so naturally we decided it was the perfect time to open Shelahem upstairs.
Some services I literally had to run sitting down like a retired nonno.
But honestly, this situation showed me how lucky I am. My team stepped up in the biggest way and reminded me that what we built here is much more than a restaurant, it’s fu***ng family.
Finally taking the time now to fix myself properly ❤️

Dinner but make it immersive ✨🍷

- We want to hear your story, Read the caption -
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned.
Today we got a late cancellation for tomorrow, Sunday.
Usually, we would simply offer the seats to our waiting list.
But a few weeks ago, something happened that stayed with us.
We welcomed a guest who told us this experience was on her bucket list.
She was going through cancer, and she wanted to live this moment while she could.
It reminded us why we do what we do. So today, we want to do things differently.
We would love to offer these 2 seats to someone who truly needs a moment, someone who has been going through a difficult time, who could use a night to escape, to feel, to breathe.
If someone comes to mind:
Tell us their story.
Tag them (or send us a private message if you prefer).
We’ll read every message and choose someone to join us.
This isn’t about a giveaway.
It’s about sharing something meaningful.
We’ll announce shortly 🤍

YMCA at Shelly.
YMCA again at karaoke after work (both teams)
At this point we might never get it out of our system… and honestly, we’re okay with that 💃

You decide.

Meet Chef Gael ❤️
The chef behind a lot more than just the dishes.
Loved his answers, even if we sometimes struggle to understand his French accent 😅
Let us know if you’d like to see more of Shelanous team!

Episode 2 is here 🎬
After the spicy start at the Hijinx Hotel in Episode 1, it was finally time to announce the winners… and expose the losers. What happened next? Let’s just say things didn’t calm down after the games ended.
In the next episodes, we’ll show you more of what’s happening behind the scenes, no more teasers, we promise. Get excited for the à la carte episode, which will be posted on
We’re dropping the full episode on both restaurants, with much more insight, more behind the scenes and ofc, a bit more drama 👀

We did “pass the phone to the person who is the most…”
Karin definitely got offended by being chosen to be the most annoying. But honestly… we love being annoying. So part 2 is coming soon.
Give us some prompt ideas for our next video below 🎬

While we’re not a kosher restaurant, the meat we serve is kosher. If you keep kosher, you’re welcome to let us know and we can adjust the experience so all courses after the meat are dairy-free. More than that, we’re always happy to adapt. Vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies or sensitivities, just tell us in advance 😇

2 SEATS | 04.03 🤌🏼
This one is for the *sceptics*
If you’ve ever looked at our 3 hours multi-sensory dinner and thought,
“I’m not sure it’s my kind of dinner”
We want you.
Before Shalechem opens, our new restaurant (and not a 3-hour show), you’ll preview the dishes next Wednesday, March 4th, and help shape the final menu.
To join us, tell us in the comments:
Tag the friend who’s the hardest to impress and tell us why.
We’ll select one pair and announce on Monday, March 2nd ✨
Dinner is at 📍Shelly, Caulfield

We turned our staff party into a reality show (just because we love the drama & attention) 🎬
Episode 1 is a special crossover, bringing the teams together to kick things off. From the moment we arrived at the Hijinx Hotel at QV Melbourne for some games, things got competitive fast… with 1 team winning.
This is only Part 1. In Episode 2, we reveal the losing teams and what happened after…
Stay tuned, and tell us if you’re enjoying the chaos (as much as we enjoy watching ourselves)
