The interior is decorated with enameled tiles and ornaments that are among the best examples of the 18th century. It is said that they were made in the Tekfur Palace near Edirnekapı. Before the fire the mosque had been completely covered by enameled tiles, which now only reach the lower windows.
The mosque was partially burnt in 1890 and restored by Şerife Nesife Hanım, the daughter of Helvacı. Since it collapsed during the big earthquake in 1888, it was rebuilt.
It was built of cut stone. The ascent to the minaret on the right is made of wood.

Although it was built during Sultan Ahmet III's era, the traditions of Architect Sinan were followed.
