★★★★ AlhamdulEllah, this Islamic Center is in the basement of a building next to a grocery. They are raising funds to build a masjid building near to the current location and in the meantime prayers are held here. Might be hard to find at first but if you look carefully you will see the open door and people coming in and out. It is a simple place to pray and I did feel a very genuine and peaceful vibe there. I received more than one smile and salam and kindness even when I was keeping to myself. The friday prayers are quite crowded but also go well and fine. If you are near this masjid during jumah or prayer time feel free to attend.
