Very difficult to locate. Had to call the number to locate the entrance. Strange layout. Although it shouldn't matter, it's worth mentioning that this is a shia mosque.

Friendly and welcoming mosque. Could definitely be signposted better though - Street View on Google Maps doesn't show the right building and the majority of buildings in the area are residential so it's difficult to find. For those who struggle, it's number 166 and directly nextdoor to the Lubavitch Centre.

Nice peaceful and organised especially speaker and resident alim Jaffer laddak is the best thing has happened to this centre. Overall they are decent people those who organise and I love the afternoon tea and snacks after Friday prayers made by some ladies may ALLAH give you loads in return.

I couldn't find the mosque. I spent 30 minutes driving up and down the road. There's no sign and no one in area knows where it is. If the mosque still exists can someone post a correct or accurate location so that people can find it?
