Mate I've scoffed Lamb and Chicken Shawarma in lots of middle east countries. What I liked about your recipe is the authentic way you wrap and seal it seam side down.11/10 I gave you an extra point for the music.

Thanks mate In Turkey, it's very common to seal the wrap and give a nice crunch to the lavash bread. I like it that way

Same here, I also like it with chips/french fries inside the wrap.

Hungry Man you have done it again! Would it be acceptable to substitute lamb for the beef? That would save me a trip to the butchers.

Of course, never tried it but I don't see any reason why not!
Only thing I would do (totally my personal opinion) is to use a simpler marinade with cumin, black pepper, onions (or just onion juice) and yogurt. If you like the lamb flavor, this way you will not overpower the flavors in the lamb.
