American Italian Restaurant & Cafe at Taman Austin Heights, Johor Bahru.

The American Italian Restaurant Cafe (N1.55768 E103.78089) is located along Jalan Austin Heights 3/1, opposite the International School of Austin Heights. We wanted to purchse the Groupon coupon for food tasting here but…always forget and now we visited the restaurant without the discount coupon…

We were amazed by the environment, it was cozy, comfort and decorated with soft and warm lightings.

*  Grilled Chicken chop
*  Chicken chop and grilled beef steak
*  Mushroom soup with garlic breads
*  Onion rings

All the foods above were ok, passed the ‘public satisfied level’ as my friends said…:)

The steak was too thin (you can see it in the photo) to have a satisfy bite, overall the portion of the serving was really big! Seems like enough to fill up 2 persons stomach, initially I thought the chicken chop will serve in grill but a bit of disappointed that it was deep fried while served on the table, my bad that I didn’t ask properly…

The grilled chciken chop tasted above average, and the mushroom soup was ok and so on the onion rings.

Anyway, I like the environment and it’s suitable for group of friends gathering, because of the relax atmosphere provided by the restaurant.

The Damage : RM92.75 included tax and drinks for 2 adults 1 child. A common and average western food serve by the restaurant.

If you want to find some nice place for chit chat or cool yourself down in the hot sunny weather, you might want to try the American Italian Restaurant Cafe at Austin Heights.
