When I arrived, I was ushered into a small room to pray in. There were plenty of Arabic Qurans, but no English translations on the women's side. (Or English books at all on the women's side) The women's side was quite small though. It is a very pretty masjid though and we did feel as welcome as possible, regardless of language barriers.
This is an active Masjid, Five times Salaats and serving as the Islamic Learning Qur'an with very dedication and diverse community of locals. The Dawat work is active everyday. The mosque also supports a weekend school and a daily 5-7 school. Parking is limited but street parking is available. Excellent Gujarati Community.
I lived here for a few years. It is a good masjid to pray, there are always musallees. Clean bathrooms and a wudu area as well. They have Iftars on everyday in Ramadan from various nationalities.
This is a very active masjid serving a large but very tight-knit group of Muslims who live in the surrounding area. Many events and announcements are in Gujurati but the new imam has been adding many new English programs and programs aimed at the youth. This masjid also serves up really good iftars in Ramadan and is packed for its taraweeh prayers.
