Eminent singer from the Sufi world, Heer Walia, performing under the stars at Bonne Foi 65, East of Kailash
The rooftop oasis, already renowned for its chic ambiance and gourmet offerings, transformed into a sanctum of sound and spirit this past Saturday night. As the city’s skyline shimmered in the distance, Walia’s haunting vocals soared above the din of daily life, weaving together the poetry of Bulleh Shah, the ecstasy of Amir Khusrau, and her own hypnotic interpretations of folk traditions passed down through generations.
Every verse was a prayer, every note a thread in a rich tapestry of emotion that held the audience captive. From her first breath to the final chord, Walia didn’t just perform-she invoked. The crowd-an eclectic mix of date-night duos, music connoisseurs, curious foodies, and spiritual seekers-sat spellbound, swaying in rhythm, many mouthing lyrics, some with closed eyes and hearts wide open.
“I came for dinner and stayed for divinity,” said Ananya Mehta, echoing the sentiments of many who left the evening transformed. “It felt less like a concert and more like a communion.”
The venue rose to the occasion with grace. Dimmed, golden lighting cast a warm glow across elegant tables adorned with Mediterranean platters, Indian-fusion masterpieces, and desserts decadent enough to tempt the most disciplined. Signature cocktails-infused with herbs, spices, and a touch of alchemy-flowed as effortlessly as the music.

As Walia closed her set to a standing ovation and resounding calls for an encore, the air seemed to hum with more than applause-it carried gratitude, reverence, and the unmistakable magic of a shared moment that won’t soon be forgotten.
For those who missed it, Bonne Foi 65 assures that more evenings of enchantment await-where food meets feeling, and melodies linger long after the final note fades.
