Συγνωμη, δεν τρώω κρέας/ χοιρινό/ πουλερικά / ψάρι / γαλακτοκομικά / αυγά

Συγνωμη, δεν τρώω ..
κρέας
χοιρινό
πουλερικά
ψάρι
γαλακτοκομικά
αυγά

You can also say¨

"χοιρινό κρέας" instead of "χοιρινό"
"ψάρια" instead of "ψάρι"
"γαλακτερά" instead of "γαλακτοκομικά"

although I recommend the first options.
Also, you can say:
"Λυπάμαι", instead of "Συγνώμη"
but Λυπάμαι is more like refusing to take the food.
good luck!

neutral David Wigtil : This request clearly is targeted at oral responses for a Greekless tourist, but this answer uses Greek letters only, and it doesn't even address the divergence between written xoirino and spoken "ksiri-NOH."
