“One of Two Mosques in the city centre”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 April 2012

West Street Mosque is situated in the city centre. A convenient place for worshippers to go to at prayer times. Parking can be a bit of a problem. There are however, parkades close by where one can park and pay according to time. More

“Dangerous area”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012

Don't visit West street. While tourists may think it is authentic to visit the centre of town, please do not fool yourself into thinking that the loiterers are tourist attractions. West, Smith, Point, Ordinance.... not safe! More

“Beautiful mosque in downtown”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

people found this review helpful

A landmark mosque, I believe one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere offers a peaceful retereat ironically in the heart of the city centre. Quite symbolic of the misunderstood religion of Islam, a peaceful way of life amidst the chaos of the modern world. A must stop especially for the Friday noon prayer or sunset times inRamadaan. More
