Prepare the marinade by mixing olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.

Cut the lamb into thin strips and add to the marinade. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the marinated lamb for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

Slice the bread in half lengthwise without cutting all the way through.

Spread a layer of garlic sauce or olive oil on the inside of the bread.

Layer the cooked lamb inside the bread along with sliced onions, tomatoes, and cucumbers.

Sprinkle chopped parsley and sumac over the filling for added flavor.

Close the sandwich and press down gently.

Toast the sandwich on the grill or skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.

Remove from heat and slice in half to serve.
