OUR STORY
Here’s a story that you will struggle to believe, Shelanous started as a pop-up restaurant in a Caulfield synagouge back in July 2023, in those days Rony and the team would set up and pack down Shelanous every-single-night. If you have ever been to our restaurant you can only imagine how much of an undertaking that was.
Rony had such a strong belief in the project and after much deserved success, Shelanous, Chef Rony Parienty’s first restaurant was born.
