Everything at Tantra Restaurant & Lounge is designed to awaken your senses. It starts with the setting: a softly lit marble water wall trickling in one corner, tantric sculptures spread across wine-colored walls, and fresh-cut grass—yes, grass—bristling beneath your feet. Of course, in an environment such as this, no ordinary food will do.

That's why Tantra doesn't pigeonhole itself by sticking to a single region or the recipes it finds on cereal boxes. Instead, the restaurant serves something it calls "aphrodisiac cuisine." Drawing inspiration from Asia, Europe, and the Caribbean, these bites range from succulent and salty to smooth and sweet, encompassing all types of flavors to tantalize taste buds. Guests savor pan-seared foie gras with candied walnuts, and they indulge on ginger-kissed salmon with soy sake glaze. Between bites, they sip on equally tempting martinis—such as the Chambord- and pineapple-laced Pure Ecstasy—all while bobbing to beats from a live DJ.
