In the Balat fire of 1877, the narthex and sections of the sufi lodge were damaged.
In 1938, the wooden roof of the mosque was about to collapse; it was repaired by Eşref Çavuşoğlu in 1953, turning it into a flat roof.
In 1986, the mosque underwent a major restoration with the cooperation of the surrounding residents and the Foundations Administration.

It is also known as Balat Mosque.
It is made of cut stone, has a rectangular plan and a flat tile roof. The mihrab of the mosque in the courtyard is covered with Tekfur Palace tiles.
The large narthex is covered with glass.
It has 36 windows, and the upper and lower windows are arranged on the dome drum and walls.
The mosque, which remained out of service for a long time after the dervish lodges were closed in 1925, was once used as a dervish lodge belonging to the Sunbuli branch of the Khalwatiyya order.
The mosque also hosted the Balat Sharia Court during the Ottoman period.
There is a sundial on the qibla wall, an ornamental pool in the garden, and a cemetery.
