Worth leaving any century for, for sure!

Also, there is modern and there is modern. Bright neon signs and colorful modern-looking advertising (lights or the type that looks like neon markers), not so good. Tents/picnic-table-style dining, much less jarring.

Also also, it helps if the food is real food, like bytchearse makes.

The concept of baklava comes from 13th century Azerbajian, where they made thin noodles and layered them with nuts and honey, etc. There are also references to thinly sliced breads layered with nuts and honey in nomadic Turkic desserts in the 15th century. However, filo/phyllo is late 17th century Ottoman Turkish, specifically linked to the Topkopi Palace Janissaries. So, baklava, as we have it today, isn't period.
