Arash Etemadi

This place seems like a "cafe bakery", but it is more of a bakery than a cafe. The coffee/tea selection is relatively limited and I was served a lukewarm coffee. However, the bread, sandwiches and bakery items are excellent. I tried a few and all were tasty and fresh.

This place has been my favorite for over a decade. They have always kept their high standard in quality coffee and food, their excellent and professional service, and their great ambience. If you are looking for great coffee, a nice snack sandwich, or a salad, or want to do some work while sipping your latte, this is "the place". I have been to different cafés all over the world, and have come back to Raees to find it still the best of them all!
2019 update: they have outdoor seating now!

The hotel is very modern. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff super-friendly. The front desk were very polite and attended to all requests as much as possible. The hotel has a beautiful outdoor pool and hot tub. Minor things to consider: the restaurant/breakfast room is rather small and not fit for such a big hotel. There is no bar in the hotel, and not much around it in the neighborhood. Most places you want to visit need a taxi or bus/metro.
