quite a few
A good number
Quite a few means a fairly large number—more than expected or more than "a few" alone would suggest.
The phrase is mildly emphatic: Quite a few people showed up despite the rain.
It's deliberately vague, useful when you want to convey "many" without committing to specifics.
