Sunlight before September 2023 was excellent, then it fell off for a year or two due to ownership changed, but the food is decent again.

Extremely flavorful and incredible value! I had Chicken Korma w/ garlic naan. Add a little yogurt. Amazing combo. Samosa Chaat was amazing! read more

Food was imcredible, we ordered the gobi Manchurian, garlic naan, veggie samosas, karahi chicken, and the buttered chicken. All was amazing and definitely recommend! Staff was awesome! Atmosphere was amazing! First time we've ever been to this place, but definitely won't be our last! read more

The butter chicken is so delicious, the Tandoori chicken is even better! The potato pancakes are the best in our area. The samosas omg sinfully delicious! The price is a little high for a family of 5 to eat it was a little over $108. I would have given it 5 stars but the women who works there is so incredibly rude.... She should not be dealing with the customer; because even if the food is good, the customer service is a big reason why people return. read more

The restaurant is under new ownership now. Similar menu. Similar recipes. I had the tandoori chicken wings [Chewy!], lamb biryani, vegie pakora, naan, and chai tea. Comfort food! My order came to $40 and it was enough for 4 meals. I miss the buffet for more variety. Hopefully they will start it up again soon. read more

Most of these punjabs places are rude anyways because that's their nature. But the cashiers here were something else. Food was already cold by the time I took it home. And still got an attitude from staff. No thanks! read more

Food was great BUT delivery was very late and customer service was bad when I called for help. If you eat there, go in person.

The service here is always welcoming and friendly. The menu has alot of good choices from appetizers entrees and deserts. We love the food here it's really good we normally order butter chicken, curry chicken but the biryani chicken is always my favorite. Veggie samosas are the perfect appetizers to wait for our food but can't forget the naan we like the plain and garlic naan but tonight we also tried the aloo kulcha naan and that's my new favorite now. A lot of seating and looks like a new bar too which is really nice well idk if it's new as normally we order our food for take out or just come to pick up our party trays but I highly recommend this place try it out. read more

food was very tasty and service very fast I like this place and will sure come back with my family

delicious food And friendly staff! Will be coming again!! Ambience was great. Lots of food options.

No star I would give them. Their sweets are not made fresh and they taste stile. Please stay away read more

Delicious, savory, authentic food! We ordered delivery. We picked up more because it was so good. I googled the names and chose some great stuff. read more

For it being my first time trying Indian food, I wasn't disappointed at all. I went for the Tandoori and Butter Chicken, paired with Garlic Naan, and the flavors were incredible. Since it was my first experience with Indian cuisine, I didn't know what to expect. The friendly and welcoming staff made it even better and I'm definitely going back, especially for more of that Garlic Naan and to try their deserts! read more

NEW OWNERSHIP!!! apparently the place has been under new ownership since Jan/2022. Well I didn't get the memo The sweets are not the same.. all different shapes and sizes not the uniform pieces we had become accustomed too. The taste and quality have both declined. THE BUTTER CHICKEN IS SWEET. I just miss the old sunlight it was the best Indian food in the area. read more

I just ordered some Indian food from them and finished eating it. These guys are genuine, courteous and honest. The food keeps getting better, so they are on top of quality control I believe. Thank you for your service. If you are in Ceres or even anywhere in Central Valley, you won't regret going to sunlight. Paranthe need lot of improvement but I'm sure they will. read more

Must try there buffet. Its only 13.99 Very good customer service. Also try there gol gappe chat

delicious food great service highly reconmend this place for great traditional Indian food

It was a DoorDash delivery; they sent off 2 mixed grills with only 1/4 types of meats. Missing were the shrimp, the tandoori chicken, and the chicken tikkas from both orders. I was entertaining business colleagues and thus very embarrassed. The owner came on the phone and actually tried to say the door dasher must have eaten out of the boxes. lol. I even told the owner I'm one of his most loyal customers. His answer, " I don't have a delivery person; "order again on Door Dash." No apology. No " we will fix this the next time." I'll never go back. If others do, better not to use a delivery company, because one can't visually check the order. read more

came out here to get indian food from the bay and it was soo worth it!! the malai kofta was so good the spice level was perfect, i also tried the butter chicken and the chicken was so tender and soft and the gravy was so flavorful!! the garlic naan was delicious as well, soft and the level of pull-apart ease was perfect. The paneer parantha was so yummy and crunchy. i got most of my food spicy, it was so good. 10/10 recommend. read more

Ordered butter chicken, veggie samosas, basmati rice and garlic naan with a side of gulab jamun dessert. I'm 5 months pregnant and my cravings are very particular. Let me just say this place really hit the spot. The butter chicken was very flavorful, not too spicy with heaps of chicken in the bowl. The veggie samosas had plenty of potato in them and were freshly fried. The basmati rice was freshly made, the garlic naan toasted perfectly. I loved the gulab jamun, it's the first time I had any Indian sweets and it's amazing. Soft sweet and syrupy. Thanks Sunlight! read more

This was one of the first restaurants I ordered delivery from when I moved to Modesto. The rice and naan were delicious, but the saag paneer tasted like French onion soup and the lamb kebabs tasted exactly like pork sausage, which really put everyone off. We tossed most of the food because nobody enjoyed eating it. I did not leave a review because I thought maybe it was a one-off problem, but that non-kosher kebab made me too nervous to order again in a hurry. I do not eat pork but can recognize the flavor. About a year later now, I finally tried them again because their prices are so reasonable and they are not too far from where I live. Again, the rice and naan were very tasty, but this time my saag paneer tasted like pickles! I like pickles, but this was way too sour for a whole dish, especially a dish that does not usually contain vinegar, other than maybe a hint of it from making the paneer. It makes me wonder if they just keep reusing the same dirty pans to make different dishes or if they dump old leftover food into the new dishes, hoping nobody notices the difference. The lamb tikka masala also tasted off. Not sure what the flavor was, but my partner refused to eat it, so it sat in the refrigerator until we had to toss it. I am a huge fan of Indian food; it is my favorite cuisine, so I do eat it often. I am usually happy even with the cheapest low-end Indian restaurants' food, and my stomach tolerates it well. This place was a miss twice, and not a small miss, but a serious problem with their ability to make what was ordered. Really bummed out that this place couldn't pull it off. read more

Ordered butter chicken and it smelled spoiled... was not able to eat, then my husband tried it and he said that they probably used already chicken that gone bad. Very sad because I love butter chicken. Went right to garbage!!!! Do you really think people eat low quality rotten chicken and can't smell and taste ??? Sorry will never go back!!! read more

The lady cook is bitter, and racist Im leaving a bad review because the lady was so rude almost as if she was racist and just because I wasn't Indian she didn't wanna serve me. I am Mexican and the first time I came here she was in the back and the guy in the front was so nice I told him it was my first time trying Indian food and he suggested I try lasso which I love very much the food is delicious I tried the chicken butter masala. But today man I went in there with full intentions of walking out with a meal but she was even rolling her eyes at me when I asked what meal she recommended she was so stuck up. I was like last time I tried chicken butter and I'm still exploring Indian cuisine what do you suggest I try next And she was like that one you got So guess What I got ? Nothing I ordered a lasso out of courtesy to not walk out empty handed but her attitude was the reason I didn't buy a meal and just because I had to leave this place with an unsatisfied craving im not coming back Also they have buffet times And when I asked her about it she said idk and rolled her eyes I felt like she was racist read more

Great and very very helpful people. They were extremely helpful when we got stuck. This is our go to stop over when going to Yosemite from south bay. Food is absolute bang for the buck, channa masal being one of the best I had in US. Such a great variety of authentic indian cuisine with awesome ambience makes this very hard to skip. Definitely give this a try if you are craving for some authentic indian without a dent in your wallets read more

Hands down, the best Indian food I've had in a long time!! Food was amazing & authentic, service was very courteous. An overall great experience, I'm surprised there's not a line at the door! I will be back & you should too!!! read more

Phenomenal food! First time ordering here. Ordered for a family of 3. The butter chicken was simply delicious. The only mistake I made was ordering it mild. The tandoori chicken with onions was wonderful. Ordered both garlic and regular naan. Also ordered veggie samosas, aloo matar, aloo tikki chaat and lots of rice. Not a bad thing to say about any of it. This has become my go to place moving forward! read more

Hands down, this is still my favorite restaurant in Ceres. I haven't had one thing I've disliked. Definitely recommend.

very bad. I went with my husband and son to eat there. we ordered a plate of samosa, tikki and gol gappa and they charged me the double price. Their menu shows different prices than they charged. We saw the bill when we came back home and i called the store to ask why they charged me double price, the guy handed over the phone to the owner, the owner was so rude and he said that he is going to refund me a single penny back as this is their new price. I will never go back to them.. Beware of their prices... read more

The food was pretty good! The order was slightly inaccurate and there is a pricing glitch if you order through DoorDash. Unfortunately there is no deliveriy other than DoorDash, and this is the main problem. Use caution ordering through DoorDash due to lack of resolution if there is a problem with the order. If you pick up or dine in a solid 4-5 star restaurant. read more
