Ethiopia is the very birthplace of coffee, and the daily ceremony involves roasting the raw green beans, sharing the aroma, brewing in special clay jugs, and sharing with friends and family.
Whilst enjoying the aroma, our artisan hand roasters will prepare and roast coffee on the spot with great care with you watching, smelling, and hearing every single bean roast. You will also have the opportunity to sample delicious Ethiopian foods and listen to soulful African Jazz music for a truly immersive cultural experience.
Whatever you roast, you can keep!

Recent reviews of Ethiopian Coffee Roasting Workshop

  • 1/5 from Natasha Smith, attended Mar 2025: Very disappointing customer service. I had to cancel our planned session (£60 already paid) due to unexpected illness and struggled to get a response out of the class organiser on rebooking protocol and possibility to rebook for coming months. I tried several times to follow up and ask for a time to rebook and eventually gave up as she was not responding to me. Such a shame and a big waste of money that she kept the £60 I'd paid and made no effort for us to reschedule the class or get back to me on the refund protocol (even if it had been just to confirm that I wouldn't be able to get a refund, that information would have been useful). I would have been willing to pay additionally for the rebooking but ended up not getting anywhere with this lady and found another coffee roasting class with better service elsewhere.
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Soutar, attended Jan 2025: An enjoyable & warming experience. Was shown the traditional way Ethiopia's would make coffee. Involves roasting the beans in a small pan. Then when ready, grinding and prepping the coffee into a small, long necked jug ready to sit back and enjoy. Was v tasty and I enjoyed the relaxed environment with my coffee whilst munching on the cafe’s homemade snacks and relaxing. Defo worth trying, or failing that try out the food. Mmmm.
  • 5/5 from Christos Panourgias, attended Dec 2024: We had a great time and learned a lot about the Ethiopian coffee culture. The food served was delicious too.
  • 5/5 from Brian, attended Nov 2024: It was a lot of fun. We learned a lot about Ethiopian coffee traditions. The coffee and the food were amazing!
  • 5/5 from Lauren Willmot, attended Nov 2024: I booked this class as an early birthday present for my partner and would recommend to anyone wanting to try something a bit different. It was a very special experience and makes a lovely gift.
  • 5/5 from Eve Cuthbert, attended Aug 2024: Was a lovely experience, me and my dad were warmly welcomed. The roasting and brewing was described step by step. The aroma and experience was incredible, lots of detail described. Enjoyed the coffee, snacks and Ethiopian food which was fully Gluten Free and vegetarian. I recommend, great morning.
  • 5/5 from Harry McWilliam, attended Aug 2024: Really enjoyed my time. Learnt lots about Ethiopian coffee. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone interested in coffee.
  • 5/5 from Helen Garlick, attended Jul 2024: I took my 13 year old grandson to this. It was a delightful and interesting experience

Delina is a word from Tigrinya, an Ethiopian dialect. It means to 'want and desire.' Our desire is to share wonderful food and tastes with you.
​
Delina Kitchen began in July 2013, when Nazareth, our owner, started Delina Ethiopian Food as an Ethiopian street food stall in West London. We travelled around the local markets in Hammersmith, Fulham and Shepherd’s Bush with our Ethiopian recipes.
Since then, Delina has travelled nationally. Nazareth worked with large catering companies, offices and food markets around the UK to introduce the taste of Ethiopia. We now provide cooking classes for people interested in learning how to cook nutritious, tasty meals.
Nazareth grew up in East Africa, where everything she ate was full of flavour. African food preparation is time-consuming, however, and does not work well with a modern western lifestyle. Nazereth now lives in multicultural Shepherds Bush and has been re-inventing African food to inspire modern lifestyles.
​
Nazereth has a passion for simple food, healthy alternatives and delicious food to share. She also understands that after a long day, we just want to reach into the cupboard and grab something to feed the family. Her clever innovations make delicious food incredibly easy to prepare in next to no time!
