The interior of the mosque is almost a square, 59 metres in length and 58 metres in width, forming a single vast space. The interior decoration is restrained with stained-glass windows restricted to the qibla wall. The repeating rectangular tiles have a stencil-like floral pattern on a white ground. On either side of the mihrab are large Iznik tile calligraphic roundels with text from the Al-Fatiha surah of the Quran (1:1–7).
