Situated at the extreme end of the carfree zone as you trek from Bank of Kigali or M-Peace Plaza, and at the forefront if you\u2019re coming from Executive Suites and Apartments or Norrsken, the black and gold rectangular compartment specializes in shawarma and smashed burgers, made and served by the two beautiful sisters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With her face beaming, Selam greets us immediately we get to the kiosk. Not even the marinating buns could stop her from recognizing our presence. On her right, Blen is bustling in packing finished burgers for some customers at the back of the door before joining the sister, who was now preparing fries to accompany the delicacy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6066\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image21-710x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image21-710x1024.jpeg 710w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image21-208x300.jpeg 208w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image21-768x1107.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image21-150x216.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image21-450x649.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image21.jpeg 888w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The inspiration behind the burger house:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was basically my boyfriend\u2019s idea,\u201d said Blen as she continued to cut sandwich-sized pieces of foil. I later learnt it was for the \u2018special\u2019 sauce or ketchup they served with the fries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon coming to Rwanda, the sisters didn\u2019t initially plan on venturing into any business. Instead, after deciding to stay in the country, they started a vlog channel called: \u201cKigali Addis Vibes\u201d where they shared experiences and comparisons between Addis Ababa (their hometown) and Kigali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;\u201cWe were content creators, doing videos on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, all social media basically,\u201d Selam remarked, adding that the scarcity of such creations in the country inspired their odyssey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen we started, there were not so many vlogs about Rwanda or Kigali, yet it\u2019s a beautiful country, so we wanted to create awareness and make people visit Rwanda. We could go to Gisenyi, Kibuye, and document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, because the \u2018burger house\u2019 topic always found its way into Blen and her boyfriend\u2019s conversations, she decided to give it a thought. \u201cHe always wanted to open a burger house, we always talked about it, like oh you know, we can make good money, and all that,\u201d she recounted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blen affirmed the resolve, saying, \u201cSince me and my sister are passionate about food, and there was no fast food in Kigali, we decided to give it a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the two sisters are business partners and co-own Quick Bites, together with Blen\u2019s boyfriend. Whoever said you can\u2019t mix family and business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On why they chose Burgers and Shawarma as their specialties, Selam admitted Blen\u2019s boyfriend is an expert when it comes to making burgers. As for the shawarma, they had not seen many shawarma machines in Kigali, thus introducing one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"970\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6064\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image9-970x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image9-970x1024.jpeg 970w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image9-284x300.jpeg 284w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image9-768x811.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image9-150x158.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image9-450x475.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image9-1200x1267.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image9.jpeg 1212w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 970px) 100vw, 970px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" data-id=\"6858\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/image10-1024x573.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/image10-1024x573.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/image10-300x168.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/image10-768x430.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/image10-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/image10-450x252.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/image10-1200x671.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/image10.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"428\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"6059\" src=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image15.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image15.jpeg 428w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image15-201x300.jpeg 201w, https:\/\/sensmagazine.com\/rw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/image15-150x224.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 428px) 100vw, 428px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The female pair is up before daybreak, six days a week.
