They have a shop for shopping anything related to Hindu Gods. The auditorium downstairs is huge as well, generally they use it for occasions such as Garba and Dandiya during Navratri festival. The temple ambience is calming and really peaceful. Decor is good and really well done. The attention to detail can be seen when you look closely at the artwork around. A good place to meditate and spend some time in peace. This place is fairly new, atleast looks new and the people here have done a great job in maintaining the same. Their website is a decent one given that this is a non- profit organization.

Awful experience. Nothing they did or said wanted me to come back or convert. Waste of time and…read moremoney. They didn't need to construct those additional tops of the temple, it just shows where your money really goes. Rather belong to another one that embrasses diversity and makes you feel like you belong no matter what ethnicity or background you're from. I've been to better places that truly care to help unfortunate people, diversity as well... like LGBT and a diverse amount of charities as well, not superficial things like this place. I've never felt more like an outcast than this temple.

I came here for English Dhamma Night last month and it was great. We received instruction from one…read moreof the monks, a kindly man who smiled and taught us how to do both walking and mindfulness of the breath meditations. They reinforced multiple times that we were welcome to visit whenever and that we were never expected to provide donations; they were simply happy to have more Americans visit and learn. The monk was assisted by an American convert who helped clarify any confusion and told us how and why he came to Theravada Buddhism. He was a really nice, very polite, and incredibly friendly man and he helped us feel a lot more comfortable in a strange and new setting. The meditation center is small but very beautiful with gorgeous statues and icons. The main area, where the statue of the Buddha is located, is calm and peaceful and meditation pillows are provided to make meditating more comfortable. Overall, I had a very positive experience and I intend to go back to the next English Dhamma Night that falls on a day when I don't work in the evening. If anyone is curious about Theravada Buddhism, this is a great place to visit.

All fantastic! And we also bought some Prik Pong (roasted red chili flakes), Yam Nor Mai (Isaan bamboo salad) and sticky peanuts to take home!

I did peak inside but perhaps I will take a closer look next time. The people here were all very friendly and helpful. Parking is very challenging, and when they say get here early, they mean get here early. We arrived perhaps half an hour after opening and it was already packed. And when they say food runs out, they mean food runs out. By the end of our stay they were truly running out of popular items, and my child was the absolute last one to get the strawberry milk tea drink of the day. When we got here I spotted some noodles with egg. We got that first and shared it. It was a large portion, so delicious! It had hot peppers sprinkled on top. When I was younger I could not eat those, but I tried some, very spicy but very good, goes nicely with slightly sweet noodles. We got some curry puffs, a bit sweet, very good. I had the coconut drink with jellies and tapioca pearls. I am not sure what it was called, but I have had it before from a boba tea place that closed and have been looking for it ever since. We had a bunch of delicious skewers, I tried beef, chicken, squid, and a tasty sausage. One kid had the strawberry drink and one had the strawberry green tea. We had chicken dogs and wanton wrapper but ate it so fast I did not get a picture. We also tried a Thai tea cake and an orange cake. The tea cake was fair, but the orange cake was so fresh and delicious, I would get that one again. This was amazing. We cannot wait to come back. Honestly, next time I would love to take home more food, we just ate it here for our brunch.

Todd usually does the sermons, occasionally they have outside pastors (which can be great or ... ehhhh). There are two reasons I love this church. #1 - the people are really friendly. Everyone is. I have to be outgoing for my job so on my personal time I usually hide. But at this church the people are so nice, there is no hiding. #2 - there is lots of stuff to do, regardless of age/circumstance. I happen to have kids. There is stuff to do. I am a mom/woman. There is stuff to do. If I was a single guy...there would be stuff to do. And everyone is friendly so going to a new event isn't awkward. I love this church. I moved out for a little while because of a few reasons (including construction on Middlebelt) and I missed coming tremendously. My kids call it the church with puppets and donuts, I call it home.
