Looking for the perfect date-night restaurant? The answer is Tantra Restaurant in Buckhead.

Why? The ambiance and the cuisine both present a tantalizing mix of the familiar and the exotic, the comfortable and the daring, the timid and the bold. What's more, you'll leave satisfied and yet crave more.

Executive Chef Terry Dwyer has created a seasonal menu with options that appeal to conservative and adventurous diners. Whatever you and your date crave, there's an option to please: find meat, seafood, vegetarian, pork and even ostrich dishes, from mild to hot spice levels. Relax. Whatever you choose, the results will be perfectly executed.

On a recent Thursday we opted for dishes with a more Indian/Persian slant, but if we'd been in a different dining mood we could have positioned the meal differently.

We started with the hummus du jour ($7) with warm naan. On this particular evening the chickpea blend included sun-dried tomatoes and mild spices.

The vegetarian okra and paneer koresh ($14) can be prepared as spicy as you like. Medium seemed just right to us:

The white curry veal ($15) is spectacular. Inspired by Indian flavors, the chef created this sublime dish that also features mushrooms, cipollini onion, Basmati rice and a potato crisp. It's a truly great dish that I most highly recommend:

The cheesecake selection ($6) changes daily. On this particular evening it was baklava flavored--and hit all the flavor notes spot-on:

Vanilla Bean Crème Brûlée ($6) offers a pleasant surprise: chocolate ganache underneath, thus eliminating the arduous task of choosing between burnt-sugar-topped custard and chocolate.
 
Bottom Line: Make a date with Tantra and you'll crave another. And dudes, there's no need to wait three days before calling to make another reservation.
