The blaze is located in the western part of the mall and emergency services are currently in attendance working to make the area safe.
Everybody who was inside the shopping centre was evacuated as a result of the fire.
Staff at the centre told the Times that they hope to open the shopping centre in the next half an hour or so.
A spokesperson from the centre said: "We have had a fire in our shopping centre.
"We are awaiting for information from the fire brigade, who are checking that everything's fine and then we will reopen in the next 20 minutes or half an hour.
"One of our colleagues has been taken to hospital."
Businesses in the area took to social media to warn their customers about temporary closure.
The emergency services have been approached for comment.
