Sorry to say so folks, but I have worked on acland st for 3 years and when this restaurant was gutted, the smell while walking past was atrocious. It smelled like dirty vats of fat, like there had been deep fryers not changed or something similar. I had eaten there once a couple of years ago and it was dirty. Maybe it’s a good thing they moved on, the premises were well in need for an overhaul.

Isn’t it true that the owner owes notorious businessman Solomon Lew several million dollars?

Not true.

FACTS:

Lew own FCUK.

FCUK replace Scheherazade.

Get a life…anyone in the know is aware this has nothing to do with the Lew family. Do some research and you will find that they do not have anything to do with the restaurant’s premises. Internet dross…

SCHERAZADE’S LAST HURRAHI was a privileged guest of George and his family that have owned the Acland St St Kilda icon Scherazade ,last night Sunday. It was a sad night as we reminisced about the great times that we had all enjoyed there. There were tears, photos with George and the family and a meaningful toast to George with complimentary vodka.The place was packed to the rafters as we knew it was the very very last time we would see George and his family in their second home. The 70’s decor will now become a thing of the past and we will yearn of it to come back.We will pass the shop that for many years was second home for thousands.It will not be there.Gone forever. One of the few places one can watch a 34 cm Tv whilst dining or watch the owner walk up and down whilst having a conversation on a cordless phone But that was the fabulous charm of Scherazade.We are at the end of an era an icon in culinary annals.George and his family were often imitated but will never ever be duplicated.How many times one came as a sole diner and because you were only one and were always sent down the back.But that was the quirky charm of the place George and Scherazade…….you are a icon in St Kilda .Thank you for the memories as I see them through the tears of joy for what happiness you gave us all.Alan Schwarz

Sad to see the Lew family spreading their bland businesses around town.Making interesting areas beige and spruiking crappy clothes.
Bring back the Schnitzel!

This is so sad.

The Schnitzel was superb, the Latkes were better.

Do these guys need another venue?

Best schnitzel ever. Gone.

Another Lew-driven weight loss program.

Another goddamn clothing shop – -and a chain at that. Just what Acland St needs. It’s getting so it’s not worth taking my interstate visitors there anymore. If they want to see a clothing shop that can do that at their local Westfield. No need to go to Acland St for that.

That’s what Acland St is morphing into — just another shopping centre.
