Rub the spice mixture onto the lamb neck.

Add half a cup of water, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 3 hours.

After 3 hours, remove the lamb neck from the oven and shred it.

Chop pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, and cabbage.

Prepare the sauce by mixing yogurt, salt, pepper, garlic powder, lemon juice, and dried mint.

Assemble the shawarma by placing the shredded meat inside the shawarma bread, adding the chopped vegetables, and drizzling with the sauce.
