I meant to mention Jamaican, though I've never had Nigerian food, sounds good.

It isn't par for the course. I've seen places that do and don't. But yes you can usually get this red oily sauce with shwarmas, then some yogurt sauce to go along with it.
My favorite sauce from the bay area is the green sauce in buckets you can pour on they use at El Farolito lol...It's not out of this world hot, but it is very good and I haven't seen it replicated elsewhere.

I'm glad somebody else has had Jamaican food. Living in New Orleans, I'm no stranger to spice, but there's a place around the corner from me that has Jerk Chicken. It's a little shop run by a Jamaican immigrant. That dish has possibly the best spicy flavor of anything I've ever come across, Mexican, Creole, and Cajun food included.

I'm glad the owner/chef didn't dumb down the food either. As a Jamaican myself, I find that Jamaican restauranteurs dumb down their food in North America to an embarrassing level. Glad they didnt hold back for you because our food is very spicy and delicious.
