out of this world
Beyond all expectations
Out of this world describes something so extraordinary it seems beyond earthly experience—usually food, performances, or sensations: The chocolate cake was out of this world.
The phrase trades on the idea that ordinary existence can't contain such excellence.
Almost always positive, suggesting amazement or delight rather than mere quality.
